Top Grey Abbey Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Hotel Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"A"

Aloft by Marriott Belfast Titanic Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room and I truly appreciated the upgrade. The hotel’s policy seemed inflexible for ANY early checkin which I found unusual for a major brand."

Culloden Estate & Spa

8/10 Good

"Culloden is a very pretty spot but service was a bit uneven. Front desk was terrific and could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast and dining fell short. Long waits and relatively poor quality was out of character with the rest of the property. We stayed two nights and would stay again as its rooms and natural beauty are terrific. The free breakfast was a case of getting what you pay for and the Cultra Inn was very disappointing. We did not try the Spa."

Second Nature Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing experience. Great rooms, quiet, plenty of amenities, and great location. Would stay here again."

Strangford Arms Hotel Newtownards

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very small and dated. But what the room lacked was made up by the staff. The staff went above and beyond to help us more than once. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!"

voco Belfast by IHG

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the short visit the room was clean..However the lighting in the bath-room was very dim. Terrible lighting for makeup same was true for all mirrors. Front desk personal were knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant was was enjoyable with great staff. Thanks"

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. An easy walk to the train station and all points in Belfast. The restaurant is excellent and the view if the harbor is outstanding. Beats driving into Belfast and finding parking."

Manse On The Beach
