Hotels near Belfast Central Train Station in Belfast

The location is perfect! It’s just 5-min walk from the Grand Central Station where we took our bus coach. The reception desk is 24-hour, which is really welcoming especially when we were arriving beyond mid-night. Too many hotels are self-serviced these days even they are charging quite a high price. And the staff at the front desk were very helpful. The room is really spacious for its price - though a little bit old - but really no complain. There is also a very convenient and dedicated drop-off area in front of the hotel, in case you have lots of bags to load/unload.

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!

Great for business trips. The location is super convenient, with lots of Chinese restaurants nearby, so finding a good meal was never an issue. The hotel itself is decent, not run down at all. Perfectly fine for a business stay. Thumbs up!

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.

This is my second stay at the Clayton Hotel, and overall, the experience was pleasant and the accommodations were comfortable. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and the hotel offers good value for an overnight stay. However, I observed that the reception staff could benefit from being more attentive and proactive in assisting guests. On several occasions, it seemed that guests were not immediately acknowledged, which can leave an impression of inattentiveness — particularly for international visitors. My previous stay was three years ago, and I was hoping to see some improvement in this area. Consistent professionalism and warm hospitality at the front desk would significantly enhance the overall guest experience. I look forward to seeing positive changes on my next visit.

Loved the self-check in. I booked a cheaper room which did come with the smell of the nearby fast food place and a loud humming of an aircon (?) outside. I had another issue in my room but I alerted the management to it. Other than that, the room had a nice size and a nice bathroom. Oh, also wish they had ceramic cups for hot drinks and not just disposable ones (I don’t like pouring boiling water into single use plastic-laden cups).

The biggest drawback is its location, which is quite rural, surrounded by nature parks, and small residential towns. On the plus side, the rooms are genuinely spacious. This time, I stayed near the edge of the building, with windows on two sides. One of the windows opens to a view of distant snow-capped mountains 🏔️. Additionally, the soundproofing and cleanliness were excellent. The air control system can be a bit noisy, but once it’s turned off at night, the room is wonderfully quiet. The hotel also features its own gym and swimming pool, which include some classes, a sauna, a steam room, and a hydrotherapy pool. While it can get busy during peak hours, it never felt overcrowded. Many of the club members are local residents, and listening to their amusing banter in the steam room was quite entertaining. Staying at a hotel alone is such a blissful way to relax. When I get home, I’ve decided to upgrade my bedding and incorporate sauna sessions into my routine!

Brilliant red brick stately home type hotel. Full of charm and has a lovely front garden. You have full access to all living and dining area on the ground floor at any time, which is great for photos and relaxing. Our room was a small loft but had a great view from the bathroom of the hills over the city. The City tour bus goes past the hotel because apparently it used to be occupied by the main builder of the Titanic. It is a short walking distance to the stunning Queen's University and Botanic Gardens. Ryan's restaurant is a great shout for homely reasonably priced Irish food and drink. The lady at the front desk also gave us direct assistance to book our trip on the Causeway tour. Highly recommend.

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.
