Standard tourist hotel. Friendly staff and usual good facilities but we were woken up at 1am by a hen party coming in and continuing their celebrations in the rooms opposite and next door to ours. As we checked in the staff member told us to ring reception if we needed to at any time and afterwards we worked out why! We were moved to a quiet room the following morning. We were lucky that there was a spare room. I knew Belfast would be a party destination but thought this location might not attract party people as it is a bit outside of the city centre. I was wrong.
