“AC Hotel Belfast impresses with its prime riverside location and modern design, making it a standout choice in the city. The restaurant, Novelli at City Quays, overseen by a multi-Michelin-starred chef, elevates the dining experience beyond typical hotel fare. I particularly appreciate how the hotel balances its proximity to attractions like Titanic Belfast with its own sense of urban retreat.”

The fitness center was nice. I saw treadmills and stationary bikes available for use. The bar had a relaxed atmosphere. I also found a wide selection of drinks there.
The room doors were quite noisy. I was disturbed several times because of it. I noticed balsamic vinegar served when I requested vinegar with my food. Next time, I will need to specify malt vinegar.

The location was central. It allowed easy access to the Titanic Quarter. The breakfast was tasty with good options. I appreciate the 12 pm check-out time as well. Parking was available next to the hotel, handy.
Glasses in the fridge had fingerprints on them! Ice was requested, but it was not delivered to our room. the bathroom was not cleaned properly. I found hairs in the shower tray, hairs on the floor, and water stains on the shower doors.

The hotel has a modern design. The restaurant and bar are spacious. I loved the outdoor eating area, it looks great for the summer (I visited in the spring).
The staff was not very efficient. I was charged incorrectly for the stay. There was no complimentary water in the room, I expected it at that price.
