더 머천트 호텔 벨파스트(The Merchant Hotel)

There is nothing like to like at the Merchant Hotel Belfast. The room was large and very well appointed. That staff were uniformly exceptional. The restaurants and bars were variously excellent and eclectic. It is in a great central location nears bars, restaurants and the Titanic museum. The gym had modern equipment.

From the moment David the doorman greeted us to the incredible check in from Roisin this was just perfect. Little things like asking for directions as I was going to see Springsteen live and being given by Rosh a map with directions highlighted with bus numbers etc , outstanding customer service. The room was perfect and the breakfast was perfect as well. One criticism the cocktails in cocktail bar and in the Cloth Ear bar not great very disappointing despite sending one back. This aside it is a superb hotel and would recommend

Didn’t get the room we reserved. Our bed was a queen and they argued and insisted it was a king. We’ve stayed in hotels all over Ireland and we know what a king bed is. Upon complaining we didn’t receive our accommodation they told us 100% of the guests had checked in. That was not true because they called us at 920pm and asked if we wanted to move to a king room because someone cancelled. Obviously what they told us previously was not true. Our suite was super noisy as it borders all the late night pubs with live music. We moved the following morning to the room they offered to walk in and find two queen beds. Super disappointed and lots of attitude from management and front desk personnel. Their restaurant and bar are worth visiting but it ends there. Grand Central was significantly better. As a side note our room reservation was for a Victorian Deluxe large room King and we got a queen. Their website says our room type is either a queen or super king. Didn’t appreciate the dishonesty and attitude.

A word of warning for anyone buying a voucher!! We bought a voucher for my mother and father, for Chris**as. I tried to use it for the end of this month, May, and was told I could not use it as there was no availability till July. I asked could I book a room without the voucher, on the date I wanted in May, and the answer was yes. I asked could I book a table in the restaurant, for the date I wanted, the answer was yes. I just could not book using the voucher till July, due to availability?? I asked them to define availability for use of voucher and the answer was when the hotel is likely to be less busy, not full, just less busy. Another voucher con? There is a time limit of one year on the voucher and now it seems it can only be used when the hotel deems it fit to be used, depending on their quiet times and not on the customers needs. Beware

Stayed here for two nights with my husband and it was everything we expected and more. We were in the art deco room and it was spotless and well decorated. The hotel goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. We celebrated a birthday and arrived to a lovely balloon and chocolates, such a nice touch. Breakfast was first class with plenty of choice and staff on hand at all times to accommodate. The location couldn't be better with a great choice of restaurants right on the doorstep. I would definitely stay here again, hopefully very soon!

Super hotel with a classy Victorian wing and anew art deco wing. Magnificent entrance and grand room dining hall .The breakfasts are superb. We enjoyed the large delux twin room on fourth floor . It was very spacious with huge floor to ceiling windows overlooking the city centre. The jacuzzi on the 6th floor was very clean and on a sunny day or not one can enjoy a few hours of the Belfast skyline. We had an enjoyable 4 course meal to excellent live jazz in Bert's Bar . Above all the staff were AMAZING..polite, courteous and very helpful. I have stayed here 6 times ..so that says it all !!!!! The valet car parking is expensive but we felt our car was safer parked in their zone rather than the nearby public car park . We had damage done twice to our car when we self parked it there... Otherwise FABULOUS.

The hotel's history and design are magical, the rooms are comfortable, stylish, roomy, and quite. The staff is friendly, attentive, and proactive. On site gymnasium, rooftop hot tub, separate spa, multiple food and beverage outlets all together make this a great place to stay for business or a leisure trip.

We had an art deco style room which was gorgeous and huge. Staff were all lovely especially Roisin on reception and one of the housekeeping ladies who very promptly got us a sewing kit to repair my broken handbag strap. Food was lovely for both breakfast and dinner. A lovely experience for our Ruby Wedding Anniversary.

We had 2 Art Deco rooms from Friday March 29th until Monday April 1rst. We have stayed before and this visit will ensure we continue to return. Staff (as usual) were super friendly and courteous and went out of their way to assist. From the greeting at the Hotel front to checking out...the service and professionalism was excellent. Thank you to everyone for making our stay extra special again. Kind Regards Mike McC
