to get started.

Our room on the top floor was lovely - we had the Grand Studio Suite. However this is the only thing that matches up to the description of “boutique” B&B.

The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The room was nice and spacious and the breakfast was quite good. Belfast city centre can be reached by feet easily. We can recommend the stay at this small hotel.

I honestly can’t fault the place or the staff. But it’s the staff that make it that much more better. It’s my first time travelling alone so for all the staff to go out of their way to make me feel welcome made the world of difference - completely eased my anxiety and were unbelievably friendly. I don’t think I would even consider staying elsewhere for my next trip back, the room was beautiful and I really loved their more sustainable approach to things. Plus the breakfast was amazing!

We had a great stay at Harpers. Lee and Sandy were excellent hosts. They went out of their way to help us make reservations for tours and fill us in on things to do in Belfast. The traditional Belfast breakfast set us up for the day. We felt very welcome and well taken care of.

The room was bright and clean! The bathroom had a good sized shower and everything was very updated. Breakfast was bomb and Hannah was super understanding when we missed checking in by about ten minutes. I also witnessed her encounters with several other guests and she was always helpful and informative.

“The dining facilities and service do not match the description of a “boutique” establishment.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
We stayed for 2 nights and daily housekeeping was promised, but our room and ensuite weren’t cleaned on the first day. Fresh towels were provided - although not needed as we had hung our towels up for re-use as per the instructions in the bathroom - but the beds were unmade and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned or supplies (ie toilet roll) topped up. The dining room was more traditional B&B than boutique. The pre-ordered breakfast was freshly cooked and served piping hot, but the buffet selection was slightly disappointing. The server didn’t understand when I requested decaffeinated coffee and had to check with the manageress. He returned with a mug of decaf for me, and said “I don’t understand all the different types of coffee”.
Our room on the top floor was lovely - we had the Grand Studio Suite. However this is the only thing that matches up to the description of “boutique” B&B.

Was treated appallingly by staff in this place this morning, as I seemed to interrupt there “chilling time” they didn’t leave a handbook in my room or my breakfast menu and when I enquired about this they told me the breakfast finished at 8.45 via a message 15 mins prior to it finishing, and then this morning when I questioned it I was informed it was at was 9.45 and that I was lying about receiving a text saying it was at 8.45 (which I showed them as I had it on my mobile) and that it was now 10.15 and I needed to “GET OUT” at 10.30 and continued to laugh and try and make fun of my dilemma with each other IMMATURE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND DOWN RIGHT RUDE STAFF shame as the room was beautiful safe to say I’d rather sleep on a doorstep than give my customer to this place still waiting from this morning to be contacted by a manager
