An iconic hotel to visit for sure. Whether checking in as a guest or simply enjoying a drink in the lounge, this is a must when visiting Belfast. The staff are all very welcoming, the decor and ambiance calming to the spirit. We enjoyed drinks and light bites while sitting at a window overlooking the city below on this recent visit.

An excellent buffet breakfast. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant has a very traditional and comfortable ambience.

Here's the thing about this hotel, it's beautiful and is oozing with character. The restaurants and bars are brilliant and delicious. The rooms however make no sense.

Put yourself in this scenario, you go out to a night out with a new relationship and end your night in this stunning and romantic hotel. You come into your room and say, I need to use the toilet... we'll there's no door, it's just a piece of glass. So god forbid anyone has to do their business, the person you're with can hear and see everything going on with their body. If it's not just glass, it's smoked glass, which helps with the visual, but is still wrong. Also, who decided not having a full shower door was a good idea? Did you know on average 2 people a day get sent to hospital for bathroom related injuries? If I was elderly and showered, couldn't see because I'm old and how wet I just made the floor because there was half of a shower door gone, then I would slip and hurt myself. It makes no sense to me. There's also no fridge which is incredibly unfortunate. I rest my case. When did humans forget we're humans.

Anyways the hotel is great just don't stay unless you're alone and don't mind cracking your head open

Very professional service! Front desk were very friendly and polite. Their elevator system is very efficient. The restaurant had a very good breakfast buffet every morning! Our group enjoyed our stay!

We stopped by just to say we had a beer in the Most Bombed Hotel in all of Europe. We chose to sit upstairs in the Piano Bar area, looking out onto the street.

The ambiance is beautiful; we sat in gorgeous chairs at the elegant table area; laying back and taking it all in. Their beers on tap, while not a lot of variety, provided beer we hadn't seen anywhere else.

The staff were very pleasant, it's a nice stop for a brew.

I'd love to be able to rate this grand looking hotel higher than one star, but I can't.

We were here for a conference where my partner was speaking.

Check in is from 3pm but, as all seasoned and frequent travelers know, hotels of a certain calibre often make it possible to check-in earlier; not the Europa. We were told that, unfortunately, we couldn't check-in until all of the rooms for the conference attendees had been made ready.

At 3pm initially the receptionist still said it would not be possible to check-in, this time I said I would wait, then housekeeping were called on a walkie-talkie and she confirmed that indeed our room was now ready.

On getting to the room, we marvelled at just how clearly we could hear the "fourth floor" announcement from the lift. Thank goodness we were 3 rooms away from the lifts, or it would have been louder.

What was louder than the lift announcements was the sound from the room next door, not that they were being loud, just that the wall had all the sound insulation qualities of a megaphone.

Unfortunately, that is not the limit of discomfort.

The furnishings in the room clearly have not been changed since smoking has no longer been allowed. Our clothes which were over the chairs are now reeking of stale smoke.

I couldn't believe it would actually be smoke, I mean, hasn't smoking been banned indoors for a decade at least? Then I saw the lace curtains and there are clear smoke stains on them.

This hotel clearly thinks highly of itself, a real shame they don't extend that thought to the health of their guests by removing the smoke remnants.

The Europa offered us the opportunity to stay for "the conference rate" of just £100 per night. The room we had wouldn't merit half of that.

Finally, on checking out, they didn't bother asking how our stay had been, which is a shame, as I'd gladly have told them.

The Europa Hotel is absolutely beautiful. It is a bit difficult if your not familiar with Belfast to actual drive to the entrance and your only option is to valet (if there is self parking it is above my ability to figure it out and no one offered.). The valets were awesome and so helpful.

Our room - it was faiirly basic but clean. The issue was there was NO heat. Luckily the hotel sent up people to fix it, but it was just a process and I was tired. The shower was scalding - never really figured that out so we took a quick shower and thank goodness for dry shampoo.

There are multiple bars and lounges and restaurants. We had drinks both nights in the piano bar and ordered dessert. So good and they were so nice plus the view was lovely. We ate breakfast in the restaurant off the lobby and it was very good and the staff was willing to accommodate any requests. The lobby bar our first stop upon arrival gets really busy with people stopping in after work, but that made it perfect for people watching. Quick tip from the bartender - our bill had a line for gratuity, as the majority of restaurants did not have this during our travel and we had to switch from Euro to Pound Sterling I asked how much would be a proper and he told me to leave it blank because the hotel would keep it and it is not given to the staff.

I won an overnight stay inc breakfast at my office Christmas party and we used this recently for my birthday.

After a lot of shopping in the City Centre we made our way to check in around 3.30pm.
Check in was welcoming and pleasant and we made our way to our room.

Our room was one of the recently decorated superior rooms facing out onto Great Victoria Street.
Room was spacious, well laid out and had everything we needed. Bathroom was bright, modern and interesting with its frosted glass door.
Beds were very comfortable and luxurious but the walls between the rooms are very thin and we could hear a lot of noise in the early hours & wake up calls from 6am - however it did not ruin our stay.

We had drinks in the lobby bar in the evening before and after heading out for dinner and it's a beautiful area to relax and enjoy a tipple. Prices were standard and staff very helpful. Bar food is available in the lobby bar too and although quite a limited menu, I could've chosen at least 3/4 items to suit my tastes.

Breakfast was buffet style but well manned. Everything you'd expect from fried items, cereal, toast and porridge. A hot whiskey station and great selection of drinks, yoghurts, fruits etc.

Overall our overnight stay was a lovely way to spend a birthday in the City, a little noisy but I wasn't expecting dead silence anyway :)

I have my eye on the afternoon tea offering for next time and I cannot wait to head back this year for our Christmas party again - never had a bad meal in The Europa.

A really great place for lunch when in Belfast. Comfortable seating and great table service. My wife and I had the twin burgers and the chicken wrap both with chips. Two pints of Guinness and two glasses of water we and the bill came to £32.
Very salubrious seating and decor. Well worth a visit.
Not to mention it's unbelievable historical standing.
