Just back from a fabulous two night stay at The Merchant. As it was my husbands 40th, we wanted it to be special and it certainly was. The rooms were lovely and the bathroom had a freestanding bath as well as the best shower I have ever been in. The breakfast was great, table service and generous in quantity but... more

Stayed at the Merchant from Friday the 3rd of October until Sunday the 5th with my wife and Daughter. This is a fantastic and outstanding hotel and in my honest opinion worth every penny for a luxurious hotel. The rooms are decorated with antique furniture and are extremely comfortable. The bathrooms are huge with a large antique bath along with... more

We have just spent four suberbly comfortable nights at The Merchant. We booked five rooms for family members attending a wedding and were delighted with our choice, especially getting feedback from others who were staying elsewhere. The rooms did vary. We were delighted to be upgraded to a small suite on the fifth floor which left absolutely nothing to be... more

The Merchant is projected as one of the top hotels in Belfast. Having stayed at The Europa and having enjoyed the 5 star service and hospitality there, we were a little disappointed at our first experience of the Merchant. My room was very beautifully decorated but on closer inspection was a little dirty, dust where there should not be dust,... more

This hotel was just wonderful. It covered everything. It had lots of character compared to most hotels. We loved the fact that the hotel check-in was to the side of the hotel and it was not the usual lobby. It just was an example of the character and charm of this place. The staff were wonderful and so mannerly. We... more

We travel to Belfast regularly and have stayed in most of the main hotels. We were able to book several months ahead on this trip and so we got a room here for £160 per night. The Merchant has received a lot of publicity and comes across as an amazing luxurious hotel. I've stayed in a lot of first rate... more
