My recent breakfast experience at this hotel had its ups and downs. First, the baby high chair was disappointingly dirty, even after I spent a considerable amount of time wiping it down with wet wipes, as seen in the pictures. The cleanliness standards should definitely be improved. As for the breakfast service, it left much to be desired. It felt like there was only one server handling everything, and it took a whopping 20 minutes for a simple yogurt to be served. I'm confident I could have prepared it in two minutes myself. Plus, the portion of yogurt was quite small, and the oatmeal was almost inedibly dry. However, I must admit that the full breakfast option redeemed the dining experience. In summary, while the full breakfast was enjoyable, the cleanliness of the baby high chair and the slow service for basic items like yogurt need significant improvement.

Facilities: I saw on the Internet that this hotel has an indoor swimming pool, but when I arrived at the store, I was told that there was never one. Facilities are not as advertised. And the room is not big. Hygiene: very good service: good Environment: The geographical location is superior, and the scenery outside the window is excellent.

One of the most satisfying hotels in the UK. Located in the heart of Belfast, it is a few minutes' walk from City Hall, Giant Road Day Tour, and Dublin Bus Meeting Point. The one-bedroom and one-living apartment is rebuilt from a historical building, elegantly decorated, fully equipped, and very convenient for laundry and cooking.

Location is perfect for tourist visit to the city. The hotel was clean and modern. Room was clean and comfortable. A little disappointed that there wasn’t a safe in the room.  Reception staff very helpful Breakfast choice was good.  Staff struggled to cope on our first morning (Thursday) when hotel was full and there was no butter; replaced with pats of low calorie spread the looked like it came straight out of Poundland. Content and service improved after that, the only criticism being the fried eggs’ yolks were always solid, not runny.   Generally good value for money.

On arriving at the hotel I didn’t find the reception very appealing. However, staff were lovely and the room was great. Very reasonable cost and lots of restaurants basically next door. We did not eat at the hotel but there was a great menu. Bar staff were lovely and accommodated a change on drinks request with no issues. The bed was comfortable and I didn’t hear any noise at night time. We loved our stay and will most definitely return. Thank you Ramada at Wyndham

It’s a Travelodge so you know what to expect. It’s functional without any frills, but that’s all we needed for a weekend stay. Reception staff were very friendly and efficient. Room was clean, but one grumble was the small window which did not open or allow much light into the room. The hotel’s location is superb. Easy reach of, well, everything.  Highly recommend a visit to The Crown and Fibber Magee’s pubs which are just around the corner. Take a visit to the Titanic experience and also St George’s Market.

The Europa in my opinion has got quite tired and is in bed of a revamp of the Bedrooms … especially the executive rooms .. also the cleaning of the rooms is hit & miss .. pull out the beds and there is old debris .. no sanitary disposable bags in bathrooms - the complimentary tea/coffee tray is an absolute disgrace and so basic that I don’t know why they bother .. the complimentary water is room temperature and no fridges in rooms .. I have no idea why they have the star rating it has ..the standard is not what would be expected of such a hotel Which I feel is basking in the glow of years gone by .. and the prices are overly inflated… Come on Hastings you can do much better than this??
