Ivanhoe Inn and Hotel  

Staff very helpful. Good reasonable priced food. Kept restaurant open late when worked late.

No moans at all very good stay.

The Ivanhoe was clean, comfortable, has good facilities and the food was great. The accommodation was very reasonably priced. No hesitation in recommending to others.

Incredibly cheap. Amazingly spacious. Too good to be truely what it is. The downside is that, its a bit out of town.

A bit out of town

The location is ideal considering its only 10 mins drive from Belfast city centre. I booked at the last minute, not the website, but literally, and it still turned out affordable and cheerful, very impressed indeed.

The bedroom was excellent. The staff friendly and helpful.

Size of room and staff were very friendly, would certainly recommend this hotel. A hidden gem!

The staff were extremely helpful, pleasant and friendly. I arrived quite late in the evening and the kitchen was closed, however they put together some food for me none the less. I would definitely stay again.

Location

I really liked the helpful staff, those who greeted us at night with a welcoming smile, the breakfast waiter and a very nice chatty gentleman who served us lunch at the bistro. I loved the spacious bright room and bathroom. (bathroom lighting beautiful) I liked that there were little packets of biscuits to have with the tea. Nice touch.

The room was very cold, especially on Saturday night and there were no extra blankets on the shelf. I would have liked the RTE channels on the television. An individual independent light switch over the single bed would have been beneficial. A larger/more prominent sign indicating exit at the side would also help. I didn't notice it in the dark and drove out onto the road via the front. That said, I enjoyed my stay and would return again.

On-site off-road car parking; close proximity of garage/minisupermarket/off-licence/restaurants/fast food outlets: 400m or less. Very quiet

Traffic into town at rush hour, but that's normal. Just leave earlier or later to avoid the worst of it.

Nice room

Very unhelpful and unsympathetic staff. Lost my card key and the night porter didn't know how to cut a new one, so offered to hold the door open for me (so I could see without lights) while I got ready for bed... Suggesting I spend the rest of my stay in the dark without electricity. Not exactly the luxurious experience I had intended or paid for. Fortunately I found my card key. Also, I wasn't told that I wasn't allowed to bring food from outside premises up to my room, due to "cross contamination risks". I was only allowed to order from the room service menu, which had been closed from 8.30pm. Didn't think this was very fair as we arrived late and hadn't eaten. When I brought this up to the manager the next morning, I suggested that they mention this policy in the hotel guidebook or something. I received no sympathy whatsoever and was told that it's common in all hotels - something I've never heard of before in any hotel I've stayed in, and I worked in the Park Inn Hotel for 18 months. The management said it was my own fault for not eating early enough - again, telling me when I can and can't eat doesn't exactly fulfil the luxurious experience I had sought after. Felt more like a military camp rather than a 3 star hotel. Really disappointed as I loved the place anytime I've been there for a wedding etc.

The price

The fact that the rooms were cold and despite asking the staff to put the heating on, the radiator did not warm up until we were checking out. The rooms are clean but need updating. The description is a little ambitious as the hotel is not quite as nice as it seems in the photos. We had booked a twin room and got a very small double which was obviously meant for one person. My husband asked for the twin that we booked and we moved rooms. It is too far from where we needed to be, but nothing in Belfast is ever that far away.

good value and very nice staff, lovely room

The staff where very approachable, friendly and willing to help

No negatives

friendly staff and lovely food

abit off the beaten track but easy to get to

Friendly and helpful staff. Good, fresh and reasonably priced food.

The traffic outside our window was noisy at night

The staff was very friendly, the food saw first class and the bedrooms were very big and pleanty of, of road parking, great value for money.

The only thing was there is nothing to do in carryduff.

The room was satisfactory, with enough space. Breakfast was well served, the staff friendly and accommodating. When we needed info about Belfast, they were more than happy to help us with maps and directions.

We were looking for a twin room, but were unable to get one as they were full at the time. The TV did not show any world news, and repeated the same local news again and again. There was one night when a party was a little loud, but the noise did not last too long.

Welcoming Staff, good overall service, clean and large room. great breakfast. will recommend.

Very large room and great meals and atmosphere in the pub. The hotel was very clean and good parking.

A little out of he way, on the outskirts of Belfast.

The staff was very helpful. We had several things that needed to be worked out and the staff was MORE than helpful! We needed laundry facilities, and train info. They really worked on helping us to our satisfaction.

No way to get any refreshments after 11.45

Great service, clean place and very nice staff.

Great place.

Friendly staff. Good service. Nice food. Draft beer. Ample car park. Only a few hundred metres to the Park and Ride into Belfast city centre.

Situated at the side of a busy main road. Very loud traffic noise at night if windows left open

Accomodated our needs to book in at 0230. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable and of a high quality. Bathroom and room spotlessly clean. I would recomend the Ivanhoe to anyone. Thanks for your hospitality.
