Premier Inn Belfast City Cathedral Quarter is at 2-6 Waring Street, in the oldest and liveliest part of the city, and it offers one of the most affordable ways to sleep among the pubs, restaurants and live music of the Cathedral Quarter. The hotel is a three-star with a restaurant, a buffet breakfast available for an additional charge, a 24-hour front desk, free WiFi in public areas, an elevator and luggage storage. Seven room types are offered, check-in starts at 3pm, check-out is at noon, and pets are not allowed. The location is the main attraction: St Anne’s Cathedral and Victoria Square are three minutes away on foot, City Hall is seven, the Waterfront Hall eight and the SSE Arena twelve, with Lanyon Place station fourteen minutes away and Belfast City Airport a fourteen-minute drive. Pubs such as the Duke of York and the Pocket, Whites Garden and Bert’s Jazz Bar are two to three minutes away. Titanic Belfast is within a mile. The hotel details do not mention parking, and guests report a separate car park about a block away, so plan ahead if you are driving. It is a good fit for couples and groups who plan to spend evenings out and mornings in the sights.
Location and getting around
Waring Street is in the Cathedral Quarter, close to the cobbled lanes, street art and live-music pubs, with the main shopping streets and Victoria Square nearby. Most of central Belfast is walkable from here.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are straightforward and clean, in the Premier Inn style, with a buffet breakfast as an optional extra. The restaurant means you can eat on site, though the surrounding streets offer far more interesting choices.
Who it suits
Couples, friends and anyone who wants to be in the middle of the nightlife without paying a premium. It is less suited to light sleepers, since the Cathedral Quarter can be noisy at weekends, and to guests who need parking on site.
Good to know
Ask for a higher floor or a room facing away from the street if you want quiet. Confirm your parking arrangements in advance, and book early for weekends and festivals. St Anne’s Cathedral and the Crown Bar are both an easy walk away.
Neighbourhood notes
Waring Street is a short walk from the lanes around Hill Street and Commercial Court, where the pubs and live-music bars are concentrated, and from St George’s Market on market days. By day the quarter is full of street art and cafés, by night it is livelier, so decide whether you want to be in the middle of it or a few streets away.
