Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ibis Budget Belfast City Centre is frequently praised for its convenient location, with easy access to the city centre and a bus stop right across the road. Guests often appreciate the clean, modern, and bright rooms, some noting they are compact, but equipped with comfortable beds. Many found having free tea and coffee in the common area a plus, while others mentioned the continental breakfast with croissants and chocolate pastries was enjoyable; however, a few guests felt it was better to have breakfast at the cafe nearby.

Impressed with the Efficient Service

The location is quite convenient, specifically its proximity to many restaurants and a Tesco store. The room presented a very clean environment and featured a perfect walk-in shower. A significant advantage.

I noticed a distinct lack of tea or coffee making facilities in the room.

The location SEEMED good and the place WAS clean.

The noise from a nearby pub continued until 2 am. The cost felt astronomical for such basic facilities. The room was small. I think it should have cost less.
