Very impressed with the Duke at Queens hotel. Huge king sized bed and a very clean spacious room. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance and city center not too far away. Highly recommend. Staff were always more than helpful on our short break. Hope to visit again.

One night stay in this excellent hotel. Close to Queens University, and convenient to the city. Room was superb, staff very courteous, and breakfast was traditional English. Great value for what we experienced.

We stayed for 2 nights at this hotel (I had previously stayed twice on buisness). Our room was very tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. The bathroom was large and it was great to have both a bath and a walk in shower. The staff on reception are really friendly and helpful. Unfortunatley we stayed on a Saturday night and our room was right above the bar which meant when we got back in the evening it felt like we were in the bar! The lady on reception was really helpful and aranged for us to use a disabled access room that was not being used - it was strange sneaking back to our own room in the morning!! Breakfast was good - choice of fruit, cereal and yoghurts and a very good cooked breakfast. We had a package which included one night's dinner at the hotel and we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was - as a vegetarian I didn't fancy what was on the set menu so they very kindly did something else for me. Our only criticism was that the restaurant and bar double up so it kind of felt like we were eating a meal in a club - the decor is rather like a boudoir and didn't feel quite right to us. We also noticed that several lightblubs needed replacing in the bar / restaurant area and some touching up needed to the decoration in the public areas - perhaps a bit of attention to detail needed..

We are literally just home from a two night stay in Dukes. We are local to NI, and were having a short city break. We normally stay at Tara Lodge when in Belfast but when pricing around Dukes came in cheaper for this particular weekend. We stayed for the two nights B&B but our deal also included an evening meal. Everything about the hotel was excellent and we got great value for money. We stayed in room 201 which was located on the second floor ¿¿¿ I had requested in advance that we have a quiet room (away from any noise coming from the bar/restaurant). We certainly got a quiet room and our sleep was completely undisturbed here. The hotel must have good sound proofing throughout as we were thinking we may be the only people in the hotel and then were surprised when we headed down to a full restaurant at breakfast on both mornings. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean with a huge comfortable bed, plenty of storage, a large TV with plenty of channel choice, tea/coffee making facilities and a very luxurious bathroom. The lighting in the bathroom was great for putting make-up on and the mirror was steam resistant which was a great bonus. The bath was huge and very comfortable, as was the rainfall shower. Food was superb. The breakfasts are cooked to order, which I prefer over a huge buffet. However, there was plenty of fresh fruit, yogurts, bread for toasting, wheaten bread and cereals on offer in a buffet style over and above the cooked breakfast. We both had cooked breakfasts on our first morning and I took an omelette on my second morning, all of which were really delicious and too huge to finish. Although breakfast was busy during our stay staff were very efficient. We took our meal on our first evening. Although the selection was limited i.e. the full menu was not on offer ¿¿¿ there were still plenty of options. We both had scampi for starter and hake for main ¿¿¿ both of which were fresh and tasty. For dessert we had chocolate brownie and Eton mess. The Eton mess was excellent ¿¿¿ probably one of the best I have had anywhere! After our meal we were able to stay on at our table and enjoy the DJ who is there until about 1am on a Saturday night. The hotel is situated at the top end of Botanic Avenue. There are lots of coffee shops and restaurants nearby and it is within walking distance to the city centre which is about 10-15 minutes away on foot. Just to finish on the staff. The staff we encountered were absolutely excellent and a true credit to this hotel. We were welcomed by a friendly female receptionist and a friendly male receptionist checked us out. In between times, they were always polite and genuinely wanted to help. We were served in the restaurant by a lovely young gentleman who was friendly, helpful and more than polite. I would and will recommend a stay in Dukes to everyone! I also look forward to coming back to this comfortable and safe hote

I was pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the room. Very comfortable bed and good breakfast next morning. The hotel is well situated for theatres, restaurants etc. I would definitely choose this hotel again.
