Hotels near Botanic Gardens, Belfast

I recently stayed at Second Nature Belfast on Queen Street and was thoroughly impressed. It's not just a hotel, but a true 'hometel' – a place where you feel right at home, yet with the service level of a good boutique hotel. The location is simply perfect: everything is within walking distance – shops, restaurants, and Belfast's attractions. The room was spacious, stylish, and very clean, with its own kitchenette, which is incredibly convenient for making your own breakfast or light dinners. I particularly liked the common areas: the cozy Winnie’s café, the bar with live music in the evenings, and a small fitness room that guests can use for free. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations or additional services. The only downside I noted was that breakfast prices in the restaurant are a bit high, but this is completely offset by the quality and variety of the dishes. Overall, this is one of the best places to stay in Belfast, especially if you value style, comfort, and a central location. I will definitely be back.

Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the amenities were complete. The soundproofing was also good. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient, making me feel right at home. The hotel's location is convenient, with plenty of dining options and easy access to transportation nearby. It offers great value for money, and I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Grand Central is in great location in heart of Belfast. Fantastic staff who are friendly and always on hand to help. At reception Matthew warmly welcomed us and we had a wonderful time Saturday afternoon lounging in the Observatory ,sipping delicious cocktails and enjoying the beautiful Belfast skyline. Breakfast was lovely with 2 highlights for me ; chef made me perfect poached eggs upon request - thank you! Also variety of mango, mixed berry etc. smoothies were freshly made and served during breakfast; delicious! Would thoroughly recommend for a short city break and Belfast too was buzzing! Will be back again December!

The hotel was incredibly clean and grand. Check-in is officially at 3 PM, but I had to be somewhere else at that time, so I arrived an hour early at 2 PM. They were totally fine with it and let me check in early, which was super nice of them! Haha. I signed up for breakfast the next day, and the bread was absolutely delicious. The view is also fantastic, overlooking the river in Belfast, which is very atmospheric. I definitely want to go back!

We arrived hours earlier than check-in time and were allowed to park our car in the underground garage. This allowed us to take a bus or walk the 30 mins into the city centre, When we did check-in we were made up with the size and space available to us, 2 bedrooms, large dining table and good size kitchen area, it was also great to see lovely body wash and shampoo to use in the bathroom, everywhere was clean, we stayed 4 nts and the cleaner came in a tidied and change towels for us. The tesco shoo was handy for picking up some pizzas and wine, saving us some money when on a tight budget, we would definitely stay again,

I thought the staff were friendly and welcoming, the bar had a large selection of beverages and the rooms had ample space. There was also a breakfast buffet which was ok. A young lad cleaning the table next to ours managed to get spray onto our table and wife's food which was frustrating, but my wife raised the issue and he apologised and kindly took the plate. Just hope there's a little more due diligence next time. What I wasn't fond of was that the rooms were not soundproofed, and I thought I'd highlight the matter since half of the rooms face out towards Common Market and other local bars. Luckily, we were that knackered that it didn't prevent us from getting to sleep. Another thing that was very disappointing was that the rooms were dusty, and the downstairs toilets were very dusty too. I could see all the staff working hard during my stay, but I really think more deep cleans could be done. I really think this is a staffing level issue as I could tell everyone was trying to do a good job, and I know big companies are reluctant to spend what's necessary to keep operations running smoothly and efficiently.

The location is fantastic, the room has a bathtub, and the price is very reasonable. It was a great experience, and I'll definitely stay here again next time. Don't even hesitate, just book it directly! Highly recommended.

Great stay in Belfast city centre! The location was perfect—everything was within walking distance, including major attractions, shops, and public transport. One of the highlights was how close it was to some amazing Indian restaurants, which made dining super convenient and enjoyable. The hotel itself was comfortable and well-maintained. The rooms were clean, spacious enough, and had all the basic amenities needed for a pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with directions or recommendations. Facilities were good overall, and the check-in/check-out process was smooth. The area felt safe, even during late evenings, which is a big plus when travelling. Overall, a great experience—ideal for anyone looking to explore Belfast while staying in a central and convenient location. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

For those traveling by car, this is an absolutely superb option. The rooms are generously sized, and the amenities are excellent.

From Belfast International Airport, take bus No. 300 to Queen Street, and it only takes 3 minutes to walk to the hotel. The hotel is also close to the commercial street and some attractions, and can be reached quickly by walking or taking the bus.
