“Holiday Inn Express Belfast City emphasizes practical comfort, with convenient free parking and a worthwhile complimentary breakfast; its location is strategic for accessing Belfast's key attractions. While the family rooms and sofa beds suit those with children, reports of bedbugs are concerning. Overall, this is a value-conscious choice with some caveats.”
