Grand Central Hotel Belfast

I visitedI recently visited the Grand Café at the Grand Central Hotel in Belfast to meet some business partners, and I was thoroughly impressed. The café exudes elegance, providing a sophisticated atmosphere ideal for both business and leisure. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and delicious, while the service was top-notch—attentive and accommodating, ensuring our dining experience was seamless.||After our meal, we spent a couple of hours in the inviting lobby, which enhanced our overall experience. Though I didn’t use the rooms, my time at the restaurant and café was truly memorable. I highly recommend the Grand Café for anyone seeking great food and service in an elegant setting! the place as

Extremely poor service, felt sorry for the servers, they don't seem to have been trained. We had a drink in the first floor bar and top floor. There was a wait for the top floor and yet when we arrived no-one came to take our order. Views are stunning but with £18 cocktails, we would expect excellent service.

I recently stayed at the Grand Central Hotel in Belfast and had a fantastic experience. The location is perfect. Right in the city centre and close to major attractions. My room was modern, spotless, and offered stunning city views. The staff were friendly and professional throughout my stay. Breakfast at the Seahorse Restaurant was excellent, and the Observatory bar is a must-visit for its panoramic views and cocktails. Overall, a stylish, comfortable hotel that delivers on luxury and convenience. Highly recommended

Went to the Grand Central for a Champagne Afternoon Tea for a birthday treat. It was exceptional. The service of all staff, especially the supervisor in the Observatory could not have been more attentive. The food was amazing, and the tea was delicious (with refills offered) ||All delivered within some of the most beautiful views - worth the expense for the views alone. ||A brilliant afternoon - thank you

My recent stay at the Grand Central Hotel, Belfast with my family was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the friendly and attentive staff made us feel incredibly welcome, setting the tone for a truly memorable experience. We were fortunate to stay in Room 1201, which was simply outstanding. The room was spacious and beautifully appointed, featuring two large queen-size beds, a comfortable sitting area, and a corridor leading to an impressive bathroom. The bathroom itself was luxuriously large, boasting twin sinks, a separate bath, and a walk-in shower, all designed with both style and comfort in mind. The highlight, however, was the stunning view over Belfast City Hall, which made our stay feel even more special. The hotel’s Seahorse restaurant and bar was another standout feature. On Saturday evening, the atmosphere was electric, with guests enjoying drinks in the vibrant, sophisticated setting. By Sunday morning, the space transformed into an elegant breakfast venue, offering a first-class dining experience. The breakfast was exceptional, featuring an impressive selection of fresh, locally sourced produce, ensuring a delicious and high-quality start to the day. Overall, our stay at the Grand Central Hotel was a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. It was an experience we will cherish, and I am already looking forward to returning in the future. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a truly special stay in the heart of Belfast.

The beds / pillows and food were fabulous. ||However we were shocked that we had to ask for basics ie milk/ teabags & shower caps....& this being a 5-star Irish Hotel!!...||Last but not least there were no safety mats for the shower & bath..real safety issues to be addressed.

Understaffed 5* hotel.||Arrived on Saturday at 4pm and there was a queue at reception so concierge suggested we go a drink. Sounded good. £30. Went to reception and room not ready at 4.30. We had to insist and they had it ready in 5mins. Had minimal room complementary teas and coffee. No fridge.|| Following morning we went for breakfast. 30min wait to be served. Tea went cold. Had to go to kitchen counter for hot tea and ask for orange juice for us as breakfast was so long. Had to ask for tea and toast as if it was extra. 1x waiter who also checked people in for breakfast. Later a second lady arrived who was curt to be kind to her. Wife never got her tea. We didn't complain or make a fuss, not going to ruin the weekend.||Arrived back to hotel at 4.30 after day of adventure. Room not made up, dirty room service tray in corridor Sunday and Monday. Went to buffet for breakfast the following morning and again poorly staffed. |Long delays at reception and restaurant.

The staff and service were excellent. Only stayed 1 night on business but our waitress at lunchtime could not have done more and the guys in the top floor bar great, in fact every interaction was warm and positive. Rooms were really comfortable and could not fault. Thanks guys

The young staff especially Katie and Jambi make the guests feel special and welcome The rooms are nice and well maintained but a bit careless in restocking water and coffee the location is grand and central Breakfast is a bit lame it's a good place to stay

Very elegant Oder historic hotel in Glasgow next to central train station. Convenient walk to city center shopping all within a short walk, abundance of restaurants. Staff is superb. Glasgow is known for the people. They say here what makes them different is the people. I noticed it right away from cab driver to hotel to restaurants. The people are so much friendlier than Edinburgh. It's night and day.

Tea in the observatory was amazing, the view is grand, but the food is the star here. The best tea sandwiches I'd ever had! The salmon has a little tiny ball of cucumber. Starter was goat cheese in a pistachio cone with little balls of balsamic vinegar that looked like cavier. For Sammie's also a nice egg&chicken salad. The scones are the star along with fresh raspberry jam and cream, they rival my own(if they don't beat). Also I'm not much of a pudding person but the panda cotta with passion fruit topping was amazing. A absolute delight. Mathew was our server and also Cairghn (hope I spelled correctly) who was brilliant, engaging and kind. Must recommend

An exquisite and vast hotel, beautifully decorated in an understated but elegant style. Just had drinks in the upstairs bar (Saturday 07/07/18) but have not eaten here yet. Service was good, but not great given the prices charged. We had quite a wait for the drinks menu and our drinks were slow to arrive at our table. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio (one of the cheapest on the wine list at £29.00) to share between three, but never got the tap water we also asked for. Other similarly priced hotels in Belfast will ensure glasses of water and complimentary olives/ nibbles are immediately placed on tables, so Grand Central Hotel is definitely currently lagging behind the competition - but it's still early days so maybe they'll improve over time. Nice to visit once to see what all the fuss is about, except I don't think I'd rush back due to the overpriced drinks and second-rate service.

Beautiful modern hotel with terrific amenities, comfortable, quiet rooms. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel were very good and service was friendly and fine. I enjoyed my short stay in the heart of Belfast.

This has to be my favourite hotel stay ever! First of all the staff are amazing. So friendly & ensure everything is done to make your visit perfect. We had dinner & cocktails before going to the observatory for some more! Rooms perfect with the best amenities. Breakfast has everything you could possibly want & more.

Phenomenal , the grand central Hotel Belfast is possibly my best experience yet , the food was unbelievable ive never tasted such delicate and beautiful courses. The service was so personal and just exceptional all in all . If you are thinking of going ... do it . Worth every penny . Inside is absolutely beautiful aswell and the observatory was stunning
