Brilliant location, close to Botanic Gardens, Queens University and Ulster Museum, across the road from the Empire theatre/ music venue and in a lovely area with plenty of cafes and little shops and transport links. Room was large and beautifully decorated and clean. Particularly love the little cosy window seat/people watching deck! Self check in was easy and stress free but sadly no free beer left when we arrived, but a lovely touch for anyone who managed to get one on arrival. We stayed in the discounted room above the bar and I was pleasantly surprised at the noise level. You can definitely hear the music but it was almost background level and it was coming from a speaker in the outside seating bit, no noise or vibration coming through the floor or walls. Didn't take us too long to get used to it plus I think it's open until 11 or midnight so no noise throughout the night.

I don't think you could ask for a better location in Belfast. About 10 mins walk from city hall and the main transport stations, 5 mins from the university, botanic gardens and ulster museum, and with plenty of good food, drink and nightlife options right on your doorstep, moreso than if you were actually staying in the centre proper. Hotel bar stays open reasonably late as well.

Check-in is fully automated, so you're at the mercy of a computer as to whether you can have your key and go to the room early etc. whereas a human receptionist might be more flexible, the staff in the bar are helpful but limited in what they can do. The door to my room doesn't swing fully closed behind you but has to be pulled the extra bit, which led to the room accidentally being left unlocked by myself or the cleaners on several occasions. Some might find the very modern dark grey decor a bit unattractive, but that's a minor issue on the whole.

Location was great! Was able to walk to a lot of the city and there was nearby parking lot that was convenient to park overnight. The room was spacious. No substantial noise issues at night. We had an encounter at initial check in with an employee and she was helpful!

Only issue it was very hot and the fan they provided did OK at helping. The self check in only went as smooth as it did because I happened to be checking in at a time an employee was there, but I think if she was not there then it would have been a pain given one of the kiosks was down and the other was not allowing keys to be made.

Nice sized rooms clean and comfortable. Lovely bar area down stairs. Great location. Self service check in, no staff to help but we did recieve a phone call after check in to make sure we had everything we needed.

Rooms were very dark and badly lit. We had one tiny window which didn't help. Lots of stairs no lift so be aware of that when booking. Not great sound proof between rooms you will hear everything. It was over priced for what we got. If the rate was lower I would have been happier. I wouldn't stay again unless it was a good bit cheaper.

Great location, spacious room and bathroom, easy check in and check out, options for food in Town Sq. it was a hot night and thankfully an electric fan in room

Only 3 negatives were -lighting (switches for bedside lights were under the bedside tables so had to crawl under to put them on /no switch for a central light in room as u come in so had to use phone torch to find a light when we entered room late night!) - large window with no curtain or blind in bathroom which was facing busy road - couldn’t switch on light for fear on exposing all! - it was a hot night and one of the windows wouldn’t open

Omg just opposite botanic station couldn’t be handier. Staff available to help with check-in plus free bottle of beer. We were on the top floor so well away from the noise from wine bar. Plus we had a good view of the area. Large clean super comfortable bedroom with a fab large bed. Wine bar was handy for a bite and drinks. Lots of restaurants very close by so perfect place to stay in Belfast.

Stairs: no lifts. Had a heck of a hike to top floor. Lucky me and partner are fit so not an issue for us. Food at wine bar looked good but was overly seasoned so we weren’t able to eat it. Bit less salt plz. Counteracted by grabbing a pizza from The Pizza Company so we didn’t starve.

Great location and the staff at the bar were very helpful. My original booking canceled the day before my stay, so I was frantically looking for a new location. 1852 was affordable and available. I arrived around 11am; too early to check in. The kind woman at the restaurant let me leave my bags in a locked room while I explored the city. Room had everything I needed and an easy walk to all the 'touristy' spots. This was my first time traveling entirely alone, so I was concerned about security - felt very safe here.

I wish I had thought to ask for a quiet room at the back, but because my original lodging had been canceled the day before, I didn't think to ask. My room faced the busy street and there was a bar across the street with enthusiastic customers who enjoyed hanging out on the sidewalk until 1am. Could have been worse, but I would recommend if you need a good night sleep to ask for a room off the main street.

The location is very convenient. Restaurants nearby, bus stop to city Center in the corner. Only 10 mins away by foot from queens university and botanical gardens. Very good beds and cushions. We had a request for room change that was done to our satisfaction.

It is a 3 story building without lift. We had to carry our heavy suitcase to the 3. Floor. Not appropriated for people with poor fitness or mobility. There is a bar downstairs with outdoor seating and it can be very noisy until 2am if you are in a room facing the street. Ear plugs are helpful. It is very impersonal. They have “virtual” receptionists, you can communicate with them only by phone or WhatsApp. They are however nice and helpful. The furniture in the rooms is very minimalist, only 4 hangers, no drawers, no shelves in the bathroom, you can only use the floor for your Necessaire. The kettle may not have a cable long enough for the nearest plug.

The room was clean, the bathroom was modern and spacious. The location was fine. The restaurant downstairs was convenient and delicious. There was not much outside noise that could be heard inside, which was nice. The free beer was a nice touch! We would stay here again.

There was no overhead lighting in the room, only lamps. The self check-in could be improved by adding a scanner for the passports. We didn't have time to enter passport info prior to arriving, so standing in the small space with my family and our luggage while restaurant goers were right next to us was inconvenient and awkward.

The staff were exceptionally friendly even with all the pished mums about. The free beer was welcomed after the climb to 318. Not sure if disabled access av but I managed on sticks. Food was great, bed super comfy.

Your duvet needs binned, I lifted it in the am to get up and the sun shone through it to show big pockets of multiple human soup washes. Top sheets!!! Also need a stool at top landing, that's a killer climb. Overall I loved the place, beautifully decorated, well ventilated and not too noisy for dead centre and the world's yummiest magharita!
