I had a pleasant experience at The 1852 Hotel, with comfortable and clean rooms that enhanced my stay. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the city center and near various dining options. However, the noise from the nearby bar and outside can be disruptive at night, making it a bit challenging to get a good night's sleep.

I found the concept of The 1852 Hotel intriguing, but my stay had its ups and downs. The self-check-in was a bit chaotic, leading to a frustrating start. The location is excellent, central to various attractions, and the staff were notably friendly and helpful. However, the noise levels from outside and my room's design left much to be desired. Overall, it has potential, but execution could improve. 😊

I had a pretty good stay at The 1852 Hotel, with the location being the highlight for me since it's right in the lively Botanic area, close to loads of bars and eateries. The room was spacious and clean, but I did struggle with some noise from the surrounding nightlife and the street. The self check-in process was efficient, though I encountered a bit of a hiccup needing my passport photo, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, I think it offers solid value for a visit to Belfast.

I had an enjoyable two-night stay at The 1852 Hotel. The location was fantastic, nestled in the vibrant Botanic area with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The self check-in process was quick, and I appreciated the cleanliness and modern vibe of the hotel. However, the noise from the bar below disrupted my sleep, especially in the mornings when the music started early.

The free beer upon check-in was a nice touch, and the self check-in process was efficient, but there were no additional amenities that stood out. The cramped reception area and nightly bar noise could be better managed.

I recently stayed at The 1852 Hotel for a gig with my husband. Overall, the hotel was gorgeous with spacious rooms and a lovely bar/restaurant downstairs. However, there were a few downsides like the lack of a lift and some noise from the bar area. Still, these didn't spoil our experience, and I would love to return once again.
