“Simply The Best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Just returned from a 2 night stay at this wonderful hotel. The reception staff where helpfull chatty and very polite as was the bar and waitering staff. The breakfast on both mornings and evening meals on both nights where top notch.Room and bathroom was huge and very comfortable. Loads and loads of plus points for this hotel and no minus points whatsoever.
My wife and I have stayed in many hotels across the UK but this is definately the best by far.
We will definately be back again!
Many thanks to all the staff at Dukes!!

“Feel like royalty with dukes”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Situated in the queens quarter. A block from ulster museum and botanical gardens this hotel was ideally situated. About 20min slow walk to centre through streets lined with little cafes and eateries. Impressive looks from outside draw you onwards. The reception stylish and modern. The room was large and spacious with tea and coffee facilities. For me I would prefer more lighting but darker rooms are standard in most hotels.Very comfy beds. Large bathroom with separate shower Staff very attentive. Lovely choice for breakfast. True boutique beauty. much recommended .

“Quite good but could be exceptional with a small amount of effort!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Pros: The staff were mainly friendly and helpful, the room was a good size with a large comfortable bed, large tv, tea & coffee facilities, additional seating area and a generous ensuite bathroom with adequate toiletries supplied. The breakfast at the hotel had reasonable choice with friendly staff to serve at the weekend, less so on a weekday. The whole hotel was clean and tidy and had a feeling of luxury to it. The hotel is well placed near the University surrounded by restaurants and cafes with bus stops and a train station nearby and only a 20 minute walk to the centre of Belfast.

Cons: Although noise from the bar & the club at the hotel is mentioned on the website it was incredibly loud with a pounding bass beat resounding through the room until approximately midnight on the Friday night and 1am on the Saturday night during our weekend visit. The bathroom would have been much improved if it had a power shower rather than just a shower head attached to the bath and in a four star hotel I do not expect cheap paper-thin toilet paper! We were not informed that the hotel locks its doors early on a Sunday and a staff member seemed quite affronted at having to let us back in at 8pm. The heating was also difficult to adjust to temperature.

A few niggles which although didn't ruin our stay certainly didn't enhance it!

Room Tip: If you are unable to use stairs ensure your room is serviced by the lift. Ask not to be placed over...

“Good Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

My Husband and I stayed here for a weekend as we were going to see James Morrison in the Ulster hall. Overall a good hotel at a reasonable price. The room was very large and clean with everything we needed. Our room was quiet as it was not at the front of the hotel as some reviewers have mentioned. Breakfast on the 1st day was lovely, well cooked and everything you needed. My husband had full Irish and I had scrambled eggs on toast and all was good.
The hotel was near bars and restaurants, including Mollys Yard and Beatrice Kennedy restuarant. Walking distance to everywhere which was great.

The only thing that spoiled our stay was:
On arrival we were told that breakfast was served 7 till 10 which was good as we were leaving at 7.45 on the Sunday morning to catch our flight. We came down just after 7 on the Sunday to be told that breakfast was served from 8 on a Sunday!! So we had no breakfast and no offer of anything. My husband asked for yoghurts and some teabags as the room supply was normally only 1 or 2 teabags which they gave us. It was a disappointing end to a good stay, beware if you go home early on a sunday
