Malone Lodge Hotel

Attended a wedding party here and found the facilities extremely good.
The room was downstairs and was small and intimate just right for the small wedding which was being hosted.
Staff were friendly and courteous and came round each guest throughout the night offering drinks and also before clearing glasses away ensured they were indeed finished with and not just assuming they were.

Stayed here with my wife a few months back and had a great time. The hotel feels very luxurious since the revamp a few years back, with the lobby as nice as anything in Belfast and the rooms very tastefully decorated. Great location as it’s only a stones throw from the centre of town, and it has on site parking which is such a huge boost compared to most Belfast hotels. Staff are friendly and courteous, with free WiFi at the reception. The bar and restaurant are great, with delicious food and a great selection of local beers and ciders. I have been here for wedding functions that were immaculate before, so haven’t got anything but good things to say!

Christmas dinner was awesome. Great size. Good taste. Lots of other spuds etc brought to the table to fill up. Lots of gravy and cranberry sauce also.
Staff are lovely. So helpful and friendly.
Great venue. Well light and modern. Good size and temperature. Lots of places to sit and ponder.
Parking is difficult to find outside. They do have a tiny car park if you are lucky to get a space.

I stayed in the Malone lodge in mid-​January 2014 for three nights and paid in advance which turned out to be a mistake.
When we arrived at room there was a motor noise that sounded like it was in the room. We left it alone till around 11pm and rang reception to which the reception sounded surprised.
This went on for another 2hours.
I spoke to the duty manager the following evening and he said it would not happen again.
But that night and the following night the same thing each time the person I talked to said it was the first time they herd of this.
The hotel itself is nice but not been able to get to sleep before 1AM because of a motor belonging to hotel is out of order.
I would not recommend this hotel.

Despite the mother of all cock ups with our booking we had a nice mini break staying at the Malone Lodge apartments. (I suspect some over booking due to the Bruce Springsteen gig on 20 July — which meant that instead of the two bedroom apartment we had booked six months previously our party had to cosy up in a one bedroom apartment for a night).
On the downside the apartments at Malone Lodge are a bit «tired» and the décor is nearing its sell by date. The view from the bedrooms of apartment number three left a lot to be desired and there is plenty of noise in the morning due to banging doors in the other apartments (a problem easily solved with a bit of thought and simple DIY — other than that it was really quite quiet).
On the upside there is plenty of space with decent sized bedrooms and lots of seating in the comfy living room. The kitchen area has all the basics you need to a cook a meal and is reasonably equipped. The bathroom has a basic but decent shower and generally everything is clean and tidy. Possibly the best thing going for the Malone Lodge are the staff who lovely and always helpful (even when giving you some very bad news).
The hotel itself is a couple of buildings down the road from the apartments and has an ok bar should you need a late night nightcap. As part of the compensation for our booking cock up we had a free breakfast in the hotel which was pretty good — the tasty sausage and very nice soda bread were a high point of the «full Irish» which will set you back £12.
In terms of location we liked the Malone Lodge a lot — it’s a 20 or so minute walk into town and you get to stroll through the lovely botanical gardens. Worth noting that this is still a predominately student area of town — pleasant but not swanky.
If you get a good price and don’t mind being a bit out of town this is a good budget Belfast travel option.

Malone Lodge is a very highly regarded hotel in Belfast’s (how can I say it?) more upmarket, plusher BT9 area. Winners in recent Go! Belfast business awards for the best hotel category, it is not hard to see why.
As ever with a lot of my hotel reviews, I have eaten here many times but have not stayed. My house isn’t far away but I work in the neighbourhood, so… The bar and restaurant areas are very nice. I am particularly fond of the big, squashy sofas and low tables. Bright, elegant surroundings. I’d be happy to eat here at least, ooh, 5 nights a week. The thai prawn curry contains a healthy dose of (my beloved) chilli, and the chefs really do know how to make a simple toastie or a half roast chicken look elegant.
The staff are amongst the best in this part of the world — friendly and courteous, as you would expect in a hotel of this quality, but for want of a better word, they’re pretty bloody cool as well. Should you be walking past on any afternoon, I bet you there’ll be a wedding reception taking place inside. They seem to get hammered for weddings, therefore they must know what they’re doing.

I went to a wedding at the Malone Lodge Hotel which is the only reason I can review it as theres never been a need to stay there. From the outside it looks like quite a small hotel, but its appearance is deceiving. It stretches so far back with large dining rooms and even a room just to hold wedding ceremonies in. Even the lounge/​waiting area is enormous. The food was got I have to say was ok, it was a buffet serviced, ran by the hotel. With all buffets, you can’t expect much and your not gonna be overwhelmed with its quality, but it was fine none the less.

Yep this place is a really good spot. I haven’t stayed there myself but I’ve been there on several occasions. The place is beautifully laid out and very elegant. I think the impact is enhanced because from the outside it just blends in to a typical row of houses (typical for this area, that is).
I was there for a training day once (you know, one of those pile of waffle days that tells you a load of stuff that you already know, but that gets you out of work for a bit). They had fresh warm scones which the staff kept coming round to replenish, in the relaxed and plush area by the reception. On another occasion, I was there in the evening for a wedding. The reception room for the wedding seemed quite small, but I counted ten tables sitting quite comfortably in the room, each seateing ten people — and there were a few people milling about as well.
On one or two other occasions I’ve stopped in for a pint, and it’s a great place to enjoy a pint.
Friendly and attentive staff, great location, kept in impeccable order

This is a terrific hotel to stay in. I had the pleasure of staying here a few years ago, before I ever managed to make it into University and the apartments are better than any student house I’ve lived or looked at! A really special place in one of the most elegant boulevards in all of Belfast. I walk past this quite often on my way home from class/​work/​pubs and so many weddings or parties have been held here if seems foolish to look anywhere else. Even if you step inside the reception, you get a sense of what sort of place you are entering. Truly magnificient

This is a lovely hotel that I never even knew existed until recently. It’s so central to the city centre, and yet isn’t one of those mass-​produced name branded hotels that are the same the world over. It’s kind of Belfast answer to a Boutique Hotel, as it’s comprised of a row of Victorian townhouses, and is quite unobtrusive in its location — you would actually think it was a normal row of houses.
The food here is great — real hotel food, big feeds of roast beef and potatoes and the staff are great at coming round again with gravy top ups and getting weird requests from me like Mayonnaise (yes, I have Mayo on almost everything!). I went here for a Christmas dinner once too and the entertainment was fantastic, a live band who played all the classic hits and songs. The hotel is bright and clean inside, stylish and welcoming — and the staff are all extremely professional. I haven’t stayed in the rooms, but I’m sure they are top notch too.

Great hotel, I was there recently at a conference, facilities were great, room was very comfortable. Food and drink was fabulous, the lunch was absolutely beautiful. I have been for bar food several times, and on each occasion the food has been great and the service very prompt. well worth a visit
