Self Catering Accommodation Belfast

1.00 pm check in and 10.00 am check out please, but we will of course try to accommodate you outside these hours provided we do not have a guest either waiting to check in or about to leave.

Please remember there are 2 airports in Belfast - Belfast International Airport (sometimes locally called Aldergrove) and Belfast City Airport recently renamed George Best Airport. Both run buses to the Europa Bus Centre in Great Victoria St which is only around 5 minutes walk to the apartment. The Dublin bus stops at the Europa Bus Centre also.

Please note that taxis which sit outside the airport terminal buildings are un-metered and have been known to overcharge. Our advice is to ring a taxi from Value Cabs on 02890 809080 on arrival at the airport (or organise this prior to arrival) and use this properly metered service. Their fleet of cars are never far from either of the 2 airports.

Tesco's Express is less than 1 minute walk so it's like having your own larder round the corner. It's open from 7.00 am to 11.00 pm 7 days a week and has a chemist beside it.

If your stay is longer than 1 week, we can come in and change the towels and bedding on a weekly basis. Of course we will respect your privacy and if you wish we can leave the towels and linen for you to change yourself.

No, we will only change the towels and bedding and clean on your departure.

There is both a PC and wireless internet access so if you bring a laptop you will be able to log on with the code I supply on arrival or use the PC provided.

We respect and welcome guests from all faiths, religions and backgrounds and try to ensure we do everything to enhance their stay. Further requests / comments can also be considered from all faiths and religions. A bible is available on request.

It is the BVCV (Belfast Visitor & Convention Bureau) 47 Donegall Place - about 10 minutes walk from the apartment or at Queen University, about the same distance in the opposite direction.

Although we have started to take cards, we would prefer cash please as we otherwise have to make a surcharge of 3% on card payments. We're not happy about this but with card providers charging up to 4.5% plus terminal hire, etc it's an overhead which we have to pass on. You will NOT have been charged a surcharge on the deposit though. It may also help to know there is an ATM about a minutes walk from the apartments.

Sorry but we can only accept UK currency which is the British Pound / Sterling. We do not accept the Euro.

Yes, on arrival there will be tea, coffee, milk and biscuits as refreshments.

No, we supply hand and bath towels

Belfast is part of the UK and as long as you stay within N.Ireland and have a UK number you should not incur roaming costs. We can provide a mobile phone and SIM card on request. There is no charge for this, but you will need to 'top up' if you want to make calls.

We supply washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing machine powder, hand wash and soap.
