I stayed there on Saturday night and was well impressed by the quality of the hotel.
First Impressions +++++++++++++
It’s a ten storey modern building with a glass front. The hotel is located on Great Victoria Street which is about 1 minutes walk from the main train and bus station, so its very handy for a base to visit areas outside of the city.
I was very impressed with the staff. One of the main reasons was that I telephoned the night beforehand and asked if I could check in early subject to them having space. Mary on the telephone from the hotel explained that the hotel was full, but she would see what she could do for me. I checked in at about 11.40 and was kindly helped by the reception clerk and she swapped rooms to one that had been serviced. This was great service and was no trouble to the staff at all.
Room Information +++++++++++++
The windows are doubled glazed (So You should not hear Tom kids!!! ) and runs the width of the room. The room has a large mirror opposite the door so this makes the room very bright because it reflects the light around the room.
The furniture in the room makes the hotel feel very elegant. So Elegant infact I mistakenly thought I had been upgraded from a standard room to a higher class of room!!. In the room I had a sofa which was handy for watching the city life below you and for watching the all-important television. The bed was a Queen sized double which was extreme comfortable and was neither too hard nor too soft.
The rooms had a large 25-inch TV with movies available at a cost of £7.95. Last hotel I stayed in had a 14-inch TV so I was glad for this. The room also had an Iron, trouser press, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was clean and tidy and was well stocked with smellie’s.
Overall the condition and cleanliness of my room couldn’t be faulted.
Facilities +++++++
The hotel does not offer Gym or a swimming pool. But both can be found within 5 minutes drive from information according to their web site. There web address is http://www.hastingshotels.com/Hastings.asp?Page=Main&Hotel=europa
The Hotel is very handy at only a couple of minute’s walk for the excellent shopping shops that Belfast offers. There is a pub joined on to the hotel, which has a good atmosphere and reasonable priced beer at £2.50 a pint. Across the hotel are a couple more pubs, which are very friendly and lively, but did not offer a pool table so I could hammer Paddys_back again!!!!
Price. ++++
I stayed in a single room but was given a double. I tried the hotel and was quoted a £135 due to the fact they were so busy with a cricket group taking over the hotel that week. Utell also offer rates via travel agents at £90 room only, but this was still outside my budget.
I then tried a company called Superbreak which again is sold via travel agents and they offer special rates at the weekend of only £46 per person including Full breakfast.
Conclusion +++++++++
I did not get the change to eat at this hotel, but I will still write about it, as it’s one of the best I have ever stayed at. Normally I stay at 4 or 5 star Marriott or Radisson because of the good discounts I receive. The service was not over the top so it felt uncomfortable to stay there, but it was an extreme nice hotel, which I would recommend for both Business and Leisure trips to Belfast. A very friendly hotel.
Advantages: Central location, helpful staff, comfortable, well-maintained Disadvantages: lifts congested, no gym
The Europa is Northern Ireland's largest and possibly best hotel, although some people have disputed that the latter is no longer the case, with the Hilton now taking away most of the celebrity guests. I stayed in the Europa for ten days in July 2002 when I was managing the Austrian Cricket team at the ECC European Championship, and it provided us with an excellent base for which to prepare for the tournament (and yes if you have read bazza1603's ... ...represents quite a saving. The Europa bus centre is also walking distance from Belfast Central Railway station. The hotel is very centrally located with a host of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. During the ten days I was there I ventured to a curry house, a Malaysian restaurant (Istana), a Chinese restaurant (The Wok), a couple of Italian restaurants and also to various drinking establishments, with Robinsons, The Crown and The Beaten Docket ...

Advantages: Good location Disadvantages: Expensive and IMHO overated
...sad to say that the Europa let me down on both these fronts but more about that later.
The Europa is Belfast’s largest hotel with 240 rooms and has hosted some rather famous guests including I believe Bill Clinton.
LOCATION
For this the Europa undoubtedly gets full marks, from what I can gather, although I didn’t wander too far, there is a myriad of pubs, shops and eateries within its immediate vicinity, including a pub opposite and slightly to ... ...so what else did the Europa have to offer? A restaurant, a bar (where a pint of Stella cost £2.70) a very grand and imposing reception area and a hair and beauty salon. Pretty much it I’m afraid, so if you are looking for lots of facilities, forget the Europa, although I am led to believe there are numerous activities within easy walking distance.
There is apparently parking and valet parking available at the Europa, although I have no idea of costs, ...

Advantages: The Surroundings Disadvantages: The Night Time
...in Belfast city center the Europa is a popular hotel with the tourists. The hotel is crammed with friendly staff who are always there ready to help. The food in the hotel is very nice and they also have a buffet style in the morning but if it is not what you like then you can just stroll around the corner into the center. There you will find lots of bars,nightclubs,restaurants and Irish pubs. The rooms are very modern and up to date and the whole ... ...going to stay then make sure you bring a big wallet because the hotel can be pricey and you may also want some ear plugs for night time because around the hotel can get pretty noisy epically on weekends. All in all the hotel is probably the best in Belfast and there may not be much better ...

Advantages: The Location Disadvantages: The Noise And Price
If you are going to Belfast then you got to check out this hotel. I loved this hotel. I thought that the hotel was very modern and up to date and also it was very clean. I thought that the hotel staff were very helpful and they were always willing to give a helping hand. The hotel is located in the very center of Belfast surrounded by clubs, pubs restaurants and there are lots of shops as well. Next door to the hotel is a bus station. I was visiting ... ...station I was able to book trips to visit what the north has to offer.
My only downsides about this hotel were that it was a little bit too noisy and the price of the food and drink was high.
So if your visiting then you will really enjoy yourself but remember to bring along some ear plugs and a massive wallet. ...

Advantages: Excellent location; interesting history Disadvantages: Poorly managed
I booked just one night at the Europa. The reception was excellent although the room was not ready. I decided to have lunch in their Brasserie.
The service was willing but amateurish. Tables were cleared slowly if at all and the whole environment was unappealing due to this. A group of businessmen arrived after me and were given rude and slow service. The food was average in quality at best and overpriced.
The bedroom itself was small but quiet. ... .... I cleaned it myself before using. I had to ask for towels and toiletries.
Breakfast next morning was "served" in the Brasserie. The service was a shambles. I had difficulty finding a table not because they were busy but because 60% of tables were vacant but covered in dirty plates.
Coffee took 15 minutes to arrive and toast another 10. The food was actually quite acceptable. Service was appalling.
No member of management was visible at any time ...

Advantages: Big Budget Productions Disadvantages: N/a
As one of the oldest theatres in Belfast, this traditional Victorian venue hosts a variety of performances from classical to comedy, and ballet to musicals.
It has recently been renovated to include an additional studio theatre - named the Baby Grand - and also a new restaurant Lucianos. The bar facilities have also been recently updated.
Other tourist attractions worth catching in the local area are the famous Europahotel (next door to the Opera House) and the Crown bar just across the road - one of the oldest remaining pubs in Belfast, and perhaps Northern Ireland.
Closest car park is located in Glengall street next to the theatre itself. Bus and train links also available there (within five minutes walk of the threate doors). ...
Advantages: The Activities Disadvantages: The Noise
No matter who you are there is always something for you to do in Belfast. Belfast has grown to become one of the most popular weekend break destinations in the U.K. The Northern Ireland capital is always buzzing and full of energy.
There are more than enough hotels to chose from. If you want to experience the nightlife or city life then you can stay in one of Belfast's most luxurious hotels such as the Europa. In here you will find helpful staff, nice meals, modern decor and not to forget high prices. But if you are more of a country person then you can stay in one of the hotels just outside Belfast such as the La Mon Country House in Co.Down. In here you can find a luxury health club, Gym, Tennis Court and this would be perfect for a family vacation or a weekend break and it is just 15 minutes outside the capital.
There are also ...
Advantages: Central location in Belfast & excellent standard of cuisine Disadvantages: Car parking was an issue & we had to wait to be seated
This is a relatively new "chinkers" opened late 2000, on Great Victoria Street, Belfast (for those who know the are almost opposite the EuropaHotel).
I would not advise trying to visit without booking well in advance - the popularity of the Red Panda has to be seen to be believed!
I had the pleasure of visiting the restaurant with a group of work colleagues for a leaving lunch. It was well able to cater for 13 of us - although l would say we were half an hour late getting seated - our table was booked for 1.30pm.
Eventually we sat at the table - we did not have to worry about waiting to place orders - as we had the fore-sight to order ahead.
Well what a culinary delight we experienced.
My starter - spare ribs - salted chilli style - almost a main course in itself - delicious.
For my main course l had ...
