You're probably looking at this hotel because it's basically the only Marriott in Belfast. This hotel is relatively new and very modern right on the banks of the Lagan river. The hotel is close enough to the Belfast downtown area (maybe 10 minute walk) that it didn't feel like a chore to go. Rooms: The rooms are sleek, modern, and well-appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. My room had floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views of the river and city skyline. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the rainfall shower was a lovely touch. Unfortunately, no tub. Dining: If you're a platinum member, there's no free breakfast for you here. There's a small upcharge for breakfast. I can't recall if they only cover one person's breakfast or if it was an 8 pound upcharge for each person. But don't count on free breakfast here. Location: If you love Game of Thrones, there's a Glass of Thrones art piece right outside the hotel on the banks. You can see the H&W cranes from the hotel as well. The Titanic museum is maybe a 20-minute walk away on the other side. Parking: There's a nearby parking structure that's a few minutes walk away, NCP, that the hotel will validate for. It's 11 pounds for every 24 hours there. The parking structure was pretty safe as it was gated to enter and you needed to scan your ticket to get into the structure. Overall, I would recommend staying here if you're in Belfast and don't mind a short walk to some of the major attractions. I really enjoyed the videos. read more

Great hotel. Location was in walking distance to the mall area. It is in a good location to go for a quiet walk and to just relax. The food at the resturant was ok, I am not a big fan of UK food due to the lack of seasoning; however, the rotisserie half chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned well. The staff are very professional and friendly, and helpful. The housekeeping service was ok. I had to request them to clean stains on the floor that was there before I arrived, and to service my room. They could do a little better. I would definitely come back again to stay. This was a great hotel. read more

ALL AREAS ARE REVIEWED 1-5, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. Reservations-5- Made via the travel agency, super easy Parking-5-We didn't drive, but our tour was in a massive motor coach and there was plenty of room for it. Ease of check-in-5-Very easy, reception was prepared for us and had our room keys ready. Room-5-The room was very nice and updated, the view was very nice of the area. The large flat screen tv worked and the bathroom was large with a great hot shower. Mattress/pillows-3-Unfortunately the pillows were very soft (all 4 of them) and the beds were very, very narrow. They are on wheels so we were able to move them around and make it work but the width was surprising. Elevator speed/availability-4-Two lifts in the entrance, both always running. Gym/pool-n/a didn't get a chance to see them. Restaurant-5- based on breakfast as that was the only meal that we took there. Lots to chose from and the wait staff was very nice. Staff-5-Everyone was very cordial, the receptionist called a cab for us when the Uber app didn't work. Price-5-Comprable to local hotels. Overall-5- A fantastic place to stay while in Belfast! Shout out- The entire city, it was fantastic and very inviting. You have to check out Robinson's Pub and the restaurant upstairs read more

The best thing about this place is the view. It's right on the harbour. It's a great location. We walked to the Titanic and Game of Thrones exhibits. The restaurant scenes nearby is great. The staff is friendly and professional. The restaurant was very good. read more

Fantastic hotel! The views are incredible, right across from the Titanic exhibit; the River Lagan separates. The amazing young lady was able to check this weary traveler in a bit early as I arrived a bit after noon time. Usually hotel restaurants are hit or miss; happy to say here it is a complete delight! There are some service glitches, but the food is nothing short of 4 star. First night I had the Prix Fixe, 2 course. Chicken with garlic rosemary potatoes and chocolate ice cream for dessert. Dinner was so good I returned the next night! This night opted for the duck and it was divine. Will absolutely return. read more

I nicely situated modern hotel and perfect if you wish to spend or earn Marriott Rewards points. They don't offer platinum breakfast or elite members , but you can get a stay for breakfast rate which is a good deal for more than 1 guest as they have a substantial breakfast buffet which includes full English/Irish breakfast (sans puddings). The overnight oats were my fav as well as the fried eggs, tomato and beans. The rooms are traditional US sized rooms with modern showers and lighting. Views of the harbor and titanic from many rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. read more

This new hotel was built in a part of Belfast that's undergoing an urban renewal. The roads were still being worked on when I visited, so I ended up driving in a few circles. I don't recommend walking to the core of the city from here. All that said, this hotel's service is impeccable. The quality of the room was also exemplary. I was upgraded to a river view room, and that was appreciated. I found the staffing schedule interesting. I checked in around 10pm, and found the same person checking me out the next morning. The staff should be praised for working some really tough hours. read more

Beautiful hotel. They squeezed us in at breakfast, which was wonderful. We had a great room overlooking the river. The welcome gift of a piece of delicious chocolate torte was a nice touch! Thanks for a great stay. read more

Wonderful hotel! From the moment you are greeted by Aimee and her staff, the hotel continues to welcome you. Located just over the river from the Titanic Quarter, this hotel is ideally located. Also, just a short walk (1/2 mile) away is St George's Market....a Belfast must do. Our room was very clean and comfortable and overlooked the River Lagan. Our amenities included a nice coffee/tea bar and large shower with well a working shower head. Bed was very comfortable and the room temperature was easily controlled. The restaurant is wonderful and well staffed with polite, professional, and knowledgeable folks clearly there to make your stay best as can be. Make sure to hit up Steven for a nice pint of Guinness or a glass of wine in the early afternoon! Bar is well stocked with a varied selection of beer, wine, and spirits. Great bar snack menu included varied apps, pizzas, and Tapas. We were visiting Belfast on Honeymoon and were greeted with a nice bottle of Prosecco upon entering our room. Little things like this go a long, long, way! So thank you AC Hotel, Aimee, Steven, and crew. Job well done and we will be back! read more

As you all know I'm from the Windy City. This hotel is equivalent to a Renaissance for those who aren't familiar with the AC Hotel brand. The rooms are nice for Europe, but let's talk about the restaurant. Out-freaking-standing for the price. This is River North 4 star restaurant at Ravenswood prices. The food execution is really excellent. I had the seared scallops, followed by the lamb and a dessert called the Jack-in-the-Box Noughatine Caramel. Oh. Wow. It's a must try and I've had some really outstanding desserts. The service can be a touch better, but come here for the food. Really. Worth it all. Rooms are decently appointed yet they seem to be a little stingy with toiletries (soap, lotion, body wash). The service overall is super polite. Every manager was overly accommodating with service. Great views of the river and the Titanic museum. Word to the wise business travelers: print an extension cord if you have a plug-in razor; no outlets in the bathroom as I was told it was a Northern Ireland building code restriction. Hotel is definitely my preferred spot now that I've been. Lovely staff. read more

The higher rankings apparently stayed at a different hotel than I did. I am a Titanium Elite member of the Bonvoy program and have experience with them in multiple countries. Currently I have 2,000,000 unused points and carry a Ritz Carlton Titanium Visa with them. The point is this is not my first experience with the Marriott chain. To start I am not a fan of having to check in, take our luggage to the 5th floor, then return to park my own car across the street then walk back to the hotel. The trip to the room was eventful in that the elevator carpets were filthy and stained. There are photos from two separate elevators and the hallway carpet is also quite stained. Not a great preview of the establishment. We ordered two foam pillows the day prior to be placed in the room.....not done. I then went to online chat which is designed to be quick and flexible. No answer after 19 minutes so I pinged them. No answer after 30 minutes so I pinged again. Finally I had to call to be the pillows delivered. When I spoke to Barbara at the front desk she tried the usual "we have been busy.." well, frankly don't care.. Perhaps it seems like a small thing but after reaching Titanium Elite and demonstrating loyalty I expect to receive what we are promised. Not this hotel.... TE read more

What's not to love. Marriott branded hotel that's 5 minutes walk from downtown shopping and across the river from the Titanic museum, which is your view from the rooms and restaurant. This is Belfast's newest hotel so everything is fresh and new. The chef associated with the restaurant is celebrity chef Jean Cristoff, who happened to be there the evening we visited. The food was delicious, I guess as he has multiple Michelan stars it should be. Really loved the risotto which is often poor but great here. The one comment I'd make for management is to put a shelf in the showers for your shampoo etc. read more

This hotel isn't bad. The room was nice and clean. The location isn't horrible, but it's a 10 minute walk to anything, through some sketchy areas. The breakfast is terrible, not worth $15. We booked a black star car tour and had to put down $50 cash (which we didn't mind) and were told we could put the other $400 on our card. At the end of the tour, the guy explained that it was cash only, and showed us a text from his booking manager that the hotel had confirmed we knew it was all to be paid in cash. This placed us in an awkward situation as we had not brought that much with us in pounds since we were only staying in Belfast for two days. So he took us to an ATM where I was able to pull out the cash (I'll wait to get home to see what those fees may cost). Had the receptionist known, we could have paid on the website ahead of time. read more

Nice new hotel in Belfast right on the river. Close to lots of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. The restaurant serves a great breakfast that is reasonably priced if you buy in advance. It was also good for a evening meal. Service was good and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Rooms are very modern with excellent WiFi and connected TVs. We had a few hiccups with getting our room serviced, but it was worked out and those issues would not stop me from returning. read more

I expect a level of service from Marriott and this place blew that expectation out of the water! Probably one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. The staff was amazing! Polite, friendly, funny, and welcoming. The place is high tech from the elevators to the rooms themselves. I just can't say enough. Huge tip, get the breakfast! It's one of the best I've had in years. read more

We were 3 families traveling as a group and had trouble finding suitable accommodations. This was a last choice we accepted based on vacancies. I've stayed in plenty of Marriott hotels over the years so I had some expectations that were not met. The hotel is in a burgeoning tourist location right across the water from Titanic Belfast. Clearly there are big plans for this area but they are still underway, signs of future construction are all around the hotel. Our group arrived in 2 taxis, so by the time I stepped up to the desk my brother had already checked in. I had been awake for 36 hours while traveling and was not at my best. I had trouble following the Irish accents and had a few clarifying questions for the desk staff. The clerk all but rolled her eyes at me and said "As I explained to your party...." Apparently she wasn't aware I was not in the room at the time. She was not making a great impression. I then asked where I could get something to eat. I have special dietary needs (gluten and dairy free) and the restaurant menu looked very rich and overdone for my current need. She gave me a blank look and said, "Well, you can walk to the city center" like that was going to be a long trip and not worth it. She asked what I wanted to eat. I said "Something simple, like a sandwich". She shrugged and said "If someone brought me a sandwich for tea, I'd be insulted." She looked to her coworker as if to receive validation for her quip...the other gal just kept on typing away at her keyboard. She eventually came up with an app that would lead me to a delivery service, but it didn't work. At that moment, other guests entered with a pizza box and a Lidl bag. They cheerfully explained how to get to the Lidl which turned out to be .4 miles away. Along the way there were several places to get a quick bite, so that is what I did. In retrospect I do not understand why it would have been so hard for the clerk to explain the options and try to suss out what I was getting at in my sleep deprived fog. That is what any other Marriott staff person in past experiences would have done. We also asked where we could pick up a lunch to take on our coach tour and were also met with blank faces. Turns out there are plenty of places in the city center where you meet the coach. The hotel itself was apparently new, yet not quite...right. There were carpet stains in the elevator lobby as mentioned by another reviewer. The styling and decor seemed to strive for a first class look but instead were cold, bland, sterile. It could as well have been a modern hospital. It was clean and the bed/linens were excellent. There were apparently no microwaves available for heating up a packet of oatmeal. Breakfast was to be an additional 12 pounds which seems excessive. It lacked any sort of indication that we were in a spot of major historical significance in Ireland. When I travel internationally, I want to feel the culture. Unless the culture is to display poor customer service. I did not feel welcomed here. I think Marriott can fix this if they want to. read more

Everything was brand spanking new, and the hotel is next to a bunch of stuff to do! The restaurant was also really nice--they had the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. The front desk staff were also stellar, with lots of ideas about things to see and do. Comfy rooms. I'd happily recommend this place to anyone and I was sorry to leave! read more

Such a nice hotel! I think it is new because everything was pristine and smelled new. Most comfortable beds, good location, and awesome staff. read more

A perfect choice for our Belfast stay. Easy access to Cathedral district and restaurants and activity but in a fresh setting near the water and view of Titanic museum. New, modern and very comfortable for the foreign traveler. Mini fridge, Nespresso machine, water bottles and usb chargers. read more
