Top Scrabo Tower Hotel Reviews

The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: close to the town center and the starting point of the hop on hop off bus tour. Several pubs with food within a few blocks walk. Cons: The mechanicals were giving the staff issues. The hot water system was off and on. The AC in the room was not working and since the hotel was at the crossroads of two main roads opening the window to get some cooler air made sleeping a bit difficult without earplugs. For us the duvets are always too hot so we had the housekeeper put just a flat sheet for a cover. There were no light blankets available so we purchased one and it improved our comfort. Overall a reasonable stay for 4 nights and the manager was very conciliatory but frustrated with the mechanical issues which she indicated had developed that week."
