I really enjoyed my stay at The Flint. The room felt like a small studio, modern and very comfortable. It was well equipped with everything necessary for a pleasant and independent stay.

Fantastic city centre location. Room was sizeable, including kitchenette with microwave, oven, fridge. Having fresh milk in the fridge included was a nice touch. Given normal price of city centre rooms in Belfast, it is excellent value for money.

Location was great, room needed a little tlc paint work is pretty bashed. Room was unbearably hot or noisy with the aircon…. Sheets smelt weird like they’d been burnt. You check in and out on an iPad so there’s little interaction with staff.

Lovely room, everyone really helpful. Could benefit from a make up mirror and if you're going during warmer weather just be aware that the air on is quite noisy
