We booked in to the Renshaws before we knew this site existed, otherwise we would have steered well clear!
Family room (300) had no heating, when I asked to have this fixed, I was offered a crooked old convector heater that was well past it's best, and I would think a blatant fire hazard, although maybe that's what this please needs!.
Room also had no curtain on the front facing window, which meant we had to get dressed in the the damp bathroom.
The whole place smelt dreadfully of old cigarette smoke, the bar was noisy in the early evening, and not a place for kids -(we were there with my 10 year old grandson)

Before breakfast I met 2 tired looking young ladies in reception who had just arrived after an early a.m. crossing from Stranraer. They told me they had booked in for the night, and were refused entry to their rooms untl later that day. (although they had been promised it would be ok to arrive early)
They also had not been offered coffee or breakfast in the hour or so they were waiting around as they were not officially guests!!!. I asked a member of staff to give the girls a coffee on my room tab, which he duly did......
Breakfast was very forgetable.......toast & cereal or nothing.......no staff to direct you as to where to sit or what to do, and John wayne would not have drunk the coffee!!!.
Needless to say, I checked out earlier than intended, and booked into the Holiday Inn Express in the City centre for the remainder of our stay.

Belfast is a lovely city, and I will be back, but not to The Renshaws I'm afraid!!!

myself and my friend decided to visit belfast for the first time and booked at renshaws for one nite, as we were travelling by ferry and would arrive early we had asked to make sure we could get into our rooms when we arrived at 7.30am,when we did arrive at the hotel on the morning of travel we were told the were no rooms available for us and we would have to wait until 11am, checking out time........, we asked if we could order breakfast and were told we would have to go elsewhere to get it....... great just what we needed at that time of day hunting around a strange place looking for somewhere we could get breakfast!!!!!!!!! when we returned to the hotel to find out if there was somewhere we could wait (around 9am) a different member of staff was on and turn round and told us that there was rooms empty and we could go ahead into them, great we thought sleep at last........, on entry into the room my friends key wouldnt work......lol, more hassles, the rooms were cold and very old fashioned, after an hours sleep we were up and got out as quick as possible, we enjoyed belfast......... staff just forgot to mention that the room below ours is a private bar and there was a party on that nite.......... even less sleep!!!!!!!
never been more glad to leave on the sunday morning, we waited 5 hours at the bus station just to get out of that place

I have just come back from a weekend in Renshaws in Belfast with my boyfriend and both of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!!
The hotel was clean the staff were lovely and we had no experience of any late night noise's or disturbances.
Id say the place has not been decorated in a good while but we still found it a great place to stay and cetainly would visit there again!!

be warned this is not so much of a hotel but basically a rowdy student pub with some rooms attatched , absolutely disgustingly dirty have never ever been in a bar as dirty and worn anywhere in the world .

Used to be a nice clean respectable hotel about 10 years ago but now is just a cheap bar for students to binge drink in . AVOID .
