The staff is top notch, helpful, knowledgeable, good recommendations for local finds. Restaurant next door is amazing (gnocchi was incredible). Love the little kitchens to make a cup in the morning and watch the morning traffic below. Extremely walkable, lots of shops and restaurants even short distances. Staff was super accommodating when we needed to extend our stay unexpectedly over the weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Flint. The hotel was close to everywhere we had planned to go as well as being very central to many amenities and restaurants/pubs. I was impressed with how friendly the staff was and how clean the room was. We would definitely stay here again!

Though difficult to locate if you are in a car (it is behind Amelia’s), the staff are very friendly and it is close to City Hall and good pubs (Fibber McGee’s at the back of Robinson’s is excellent for music and The Crown beside it is famous). We do not usually stay in kitchenettes but Tesco was around the corner for in-room breakfast and they have a laundry room. In the end, we had a lovely “roughing it” three days.

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!

Would definitely recommend the Flint for its location and friendly staff. The kitchenette was convenient for longer stays and though I didn't use them, it was great to have laundry facilities. Liked the bar downstairs even if the hostess seemed confused about a table for one and was a little flummoxed by having to check myself in and that the bed was not made when housekeeping serviced the room, but again staff was friendly and accommodating. The air conditioner did wake me up with weird noises and there was some street noise late but not unbearable. Would stay here again.

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.
