We had a great stay at The Flint! The location was perfect for everything we needed to do in Belfast and made getting around incredibly convenient. Our room was clean, comfortable, and having access to a kitchenette was such a huge plus, especially while traveling and being constantly on the go. It was nice to be able to make some of our own food instead of relying on takeout or restaurants for every meal. The staff were also so friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again next time we’re in Belfast!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Flint! Check-in was very easy and the staff was always available and were so friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean and stylish. It really was a great home base for our exploration of the city. While there was no on-site parking there was a large parking garage just down the street and since the garage and the hotel both have elevators it was easy to transport our luggage back and forth. The hotel also validated the parking so it was a very reasonable cost.

We loved staying at the Flint, located walking distance to everything we wanted to see in Belfast. The room was clean and having the kitchenette was helpful. The staff were friendly and helped us navigate the fact that the city shut down for two nights during our stay. The restaurant attached to the hotel has incredible food, you will not be disappointed if you eat here. Highly recommend if you are traveling to Belfast.

The hotel was close Belfast Central Station. It was clean and comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Map of the area, places of interest, places to eat was provided and suggested. Good area for food and shopping. I can't emphasize how great the staff was. Definitely stay there again.

The Flint Hotel was centrally located, in the heart of Belfast. The staff were incredible, the room was spacious (albeit slightly dated) but provided excellent value for money The guest laundry facility is an added extra and most convenient I would certainly stay again and could recommend it to any solo traveler, wanting value and convenient location
