The Wellesley

Good price, we stayed on the top floor which was lovely and quiet, easy check-in and departure instructions, room was cosy, very clean and had a kettle, hairdryer, and plenty of plugs. Nice kitchen available but we didn’t make use of it. The bed was super comfy, we slept very well here.

Room: We stayed in room five, which is the one pictured as the example on Tripadvisor and the hotel website. It was huge but it looks different now then when the photos were taken. There is carpet instead of wood flooring (felt like a cosy improvement) and the room did not have a chair or table by the window, a fridge, or any bedside tables or lamps. While the space was great, it felt very sp**** and lacked storage. The bathroom was very tiny (like an airplane) but the shower was fabulous. The noise outside could be a problem if you are a light sleeper. Facilities: There is a shared kitchen with laundry facilities which we didn't really use but was always clean. The wifi was very good. Staff: The radiator in our room wasn't working and Naomi was very helpful, sending the maintenance lady over with a space heater right away. Neighborhood: It is a student neighborhood that has lots of restaurants but feels pretty run down. You are 25 mins walk from the center, which is convenient.

The bed was comfortable, there's a fridge in the room, and the location is close to central Belfast. That about sums up the positives. The property is loud, it felt like staying in a dormitory. I was on the second floor and could hear people in the shared kitchen area below. People yelling/talking loudly and slamming doors at all hours of the day and night. The walls were dirty, it looked like someone had spilled coffee on the window ledge and it was never cleaned up. There were insects in the room, possibly coming in through the open windows. No place to hang towels in the bathroom or any shelf in the shower. The kettle would turn on randomly by itself. No housekeeping, no staff onsite. And I found the front entrance door to be left unlocked several times, giving anyone access into the property. Would not recommend staying here.

I had a great time in the Wellesley Guest Accommodation - very central & clean, with great kitchen and room facilities! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here!! It is a great place for solo travellers, and is walking distance from most of Belfast! Cheers, Liam

We booked this because of the positive reviews, however this unfortunately was not our experience. We initially drove past the front of the guest house as there are no clear signs to say what it is. The road it is on is very run down, lots of student digs but unkempt, there was piles of rubbish strewn over the roads. Despite being advertised as off road parking this was pretty much impossible, the street is chocker with cars, we had to park away from the accommodation and walk with suitcases and bags back to the house. It wasnt a good first impression, we hoped things would get better once we got inside. Despite saying we would arrive at 2pm the room wasnt ready and we had to wait outside for around 40 mins before we could get in. We were in room 6 which was on the 3rd floor and way too small for 2 adults for 3 nights. It was nothing like the picture of room 5 seen on the advertisement which looks quite roomy. No window, nor was there was anywhere to hang or put anything, no hooks or shelves, even in the bathroom so everything stayed in the suitcase or on the floor. It was really cramped. Despite that it was clean and the shower was lovely and hot and the bed was comfortable. There was a fridge and tea and coffee facilities. If you come out of the accommodation and turn right instead of left it leads you to a pub just a 5 minute walk away and a couple of lovely restaurants. Its also only a 20-30 minute walk into the city centre. We passed a few Travelodge type places in the city centre which were similarly priced to Wellesley. I don't like giving money to the big boys and always prefer to spend locally. In my opinion Wellesley would have to smarten up the exterior and be a little bit more realistic on size in the photos. Shelves and hooks would take the pressure off the space too

Great customer service, clean and tidy. Good location and a very comfortable bed as well. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting Belfast! It was very close to transport links as well.

Comfortable bed, spacious, good shower, a mini fridge and kettle in the room and a guest kitchen should you wish to use it. The location is a bit of a walk from the city centre, but is very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location.. place was spotless loved it definitely be back next time over in belfast couldn't fault anything ..would recommend to friends and family..perfect set up if not want to be eating out as perfect kitchen has all u need 100% .
