Maldron Hotel Belfast City
Breakfast was only experience which let the hotel down. Despite warning to be careful about hot plates they were stone cold which caused the breakfast which was lukewarm at best to go completely cold very quickly. This was a shame as apart from the breakfast rest of the stay was excellent.
