I'm from New York and went to visit friends in Belfast. My friend and I stayed at Benedict's and loved it! The service at the front desk was excellent, as well as the food and the hotel bar is great! I would tell everyone to stay at this hotel because it was so clean, the rooms were huge and the service was excellent. I will be going back to Benedict's soon!

Yes, the pub / nightclub downstairs is loud - make sure you ask for a rear facing, third floor room - I did and got a great night's sleep!
Reception person was the nicest member of staff I've ever encountered in all my stays at a British hotel - she seemed genuinely concerned for my welfare, as anyone who travels a lot in the UK knows - we are not (as a nation) very good at the whole "customer service" thing, so this was a pleasant welcome to NI.
Room was superb - fantastic bed and bed linen. Complementary water etc. Breakfast was great.
Hotel really can't be faulted - just don't mess with the bouncers (apparently)

Benedict's Executive Suites are to be avoided unless you bring your own earplugs. While you pay a premium for these rooms (L 10), they all face a busy major street. When I booked the room, I requested a "quiet room" and was assured when checking in that this was not a problem. It was. When I complained that evening, they expressed surprise, but said there was nothing that they could do as they were fully booked. Not even an offer of earplugs to help me get through the night. At 3 a.m. I gave up the struggle and turned on the TV as it was impossible to get any sleep. I repeated my complaint upon checking out. No apology this time. Indeed, they disputed that there was any problem!

Oh yes, when reserving a room via their own website, their room costs escalates by L 5.

The hotel is lovely, with fantastically design spacious rooms and nice marble bathrooms.
BUT...it is a popular nightspot and the music is loud and thumping and goes on well into the night. I fell asleep without a problem but if you are a light sleeper I'd ask for a quiet room. I was in 216 and another couple were in 302 and said the noise was unbearable.
The breakfast is good with a good choice.
It has the use of a small lock up car park a few minutes walk down the road which is handy (although having to drop the key in was a bit of a pain)
It is 10 minutes walk from the centre of town so the location is great.
