ibis Belfast Queens Quarter
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
ibis Belfast Queens Quarter is a good booking if you want a clean, simple base near Queen's University for well under the city's typical price. Skip it if you need parking or want to be in the city centre, since parking is not listed and the centre is about a 20-minute walk.

Solo travellers, couples on a short break and anyone visiting the university area will get the most from it. Facilities are basic: a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are listed. The breakfast offers continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian and gluten-free options, which helps travellers with dietary needs.
Drivers and families wanting extras should look elsewhere. Parking and family rooms are not among the listed facilities, and there is no sign of a pool or gym.
Location and getting around
The address is 75 University Street, in the Queens Quarter. Guests say it is near the university and gardens and about a 20-minute walk from the city centre. The location score is 8.8.
By straight-line estimate, Windsor Park is 1.6 km, about 20 minutes on foot. Belfast Castle is 6.3 km, around 79 minutes, and Stormont Castle is 6.7 km, about 84 minutes. Both are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. These walking times are estimates and have not been checked.
What guests say
The score is 8.5 out of 10 from 833 reviews. Guests describe a friendly, helpful team that gives a warm welcome and local advice, and they like the quieter university area.
Breakfast gets mixed comments. The cooked options taste good and there is variety, but some guests found food served cold or items missing.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price was €71.58 per night, about €143.16 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. The sample median was €116.67 per night, so this was 39% cheaper than a typical Belfast hotel.
The Flint Hotel, our Best Value pick, was €117.16 per night with 8.9 and 4 stars and a more central position. Regency House, our Luxury pick, was €285.60 per night with 9.6 and 5 stars, and sits in the same Queens Quarter area. Here you save around €45 a night against the Flint in exchange for a longer walk to the centre and a lower score.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 13 eligible hotels in Belfast. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale pick is set aside, and this ibis came out cheapest. An 8.5 score from 833 reviews is a reassuring floor at that price.
