Apartment is very basic. Not even any pictures on the wall. A different company had taken over since we booked it, they required the deposit to be paid by bank transfer, which did concern us as there was no proof that this was a refundable deposit. Luckily this was returned to us within 48 hours of departure. Location is brilliant. So if you don't mind very basic and are using this place to sleep and then be out for the majority of the time then it is fine.

Unfortunately The Dream apartment fell well short of our expectations. You could only gain access to the secured car park with a FOB which the Concierge keeps. This limits your entry and exit times. The apartment itself on arrival appeats to be nice. However, the furnishings are of poor quality, there was minimal cutlery and crockery. Throughout the apartment there was only the most basic items, but would have thought soap in the bathroom dispenser, tea towel for washing up etc would be essential. The door hinges on the fridge requires replacement. On the positive it is in walking distance to the Cathedral and Titanic Quarters.

One bedroom with Seaview

Fabulous location and great size of apartment When on arrival was asked for id which i wasnt informed about in the emails, the apartment would need a face lift blinds, window hands and light switches broken the bed was very uncomfortable and only one very flat pillow per person. Could hear the apartment next door. The items in the cupboards were dirty. No hot water had to wait half an hour for the water to heat up. When leaving there was no staff at the desk so had to wait almost half an hour

Apart from location , there was little to recommend this property. There were problems checking in and we were asked to return later when the problem had been resolved. A problem with the Expedia booking system apparently. The apartment was spartan. Broken shower and bin in the bathroom. Lamps with no bulbs in the lounge. Kitchen bin not been emptied. Hot water was accessible through pressing a Boost button in a cupboard. We had not been told about this so thought there was no hot water. Later that evening I cut my foot on small shards of white plastic on the bedroom floor. Poor cleaning. In the morning, when a receptionist was available at 10am I complained and asked to be moved to an alternative apartment. There was no apology for the issues at all. I was initially told by the receptionist that she was unable to help without a manager's supervision. I asked her to contact her manager, and then she did agree to move us to another apartment. The second apartment was cleaner, but again poorly equipped for a self-catering apartment. I tried to ring Expedia customer support but getting through to a human being was very difficult and after several minutes typing in various required information, I got cut off. On trying to leave the building one morning, the external doors had locked and it was not possible to exit through the main door. The receptionist could not open the fire door either until my partner assisted. Very disappointing to say the least.

Great location right by the quay which is a 10/15 min walk to the titanic museum and a 5 min walk away from the cathedral quarter. Room it self was quite bare and had a few marks on the wall in the living room area. Missing the odd light bulb here and there in spot lights and lamps etc.

On arrival we were told with no way of an apology or forewarning that they were putting us in another apartment building which was a fifteen minute walk away. Normally wouldn’t have been a big deal if they had just told us in advance, but it meant that we missed dinner reservation. Apartment had no soap, shower gel, or any other amenities for a short stay. What made it even better is they expect you to walk back in the morning to check-out. My advice is avoid this place and book in a proper hotel.

Family stay

The apartment serves a purpose for a city break. Definitely not a luxury apartment! Could do with some TLC. Some electrical heaters were broken. Large enough kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. Quite noisy as by a main road into Belfast!

Dirty and lack of staff communication

The apartment was great and so the location in Belfast. Parking in the same building was grand (€20/day). Unfortunately, the apartment was not cleaned. Only the middle of each room was hovered. We had dirty water splash at the walls in the bathroom, dust in layers in every corner, along the walls and on radiators. The stow had still dried food from previous guests cooking and the plats had only been splashed so fat and food rest on them and several of the glasses too. Turned out that we handed been given the information leaflet. So we went to ask about wi-fi. Had to ask for additional toilet roles as it was only one with only 1/4 left in the apartment. We complained at several times about the situation and at check out the lady told us that if we had notified them we would have been moved to another apartment. Obviously no commutation between the staff at reception or notes made to sort the problems.

Location good. More like a hostel than an apartment. Bed linen smelled of damp and no spare pillows. Blinds were office blinds and did not keep out light at night. Had very little sleep. Would not stay again or recommend to anyone.

Excellent location, good price, and spacious --- but very very dirty. The cutlery and dishes in the kitchen were dirty with caked on food. The floor was so disgusting that we had to leave our shoes on. We asked them to clean the floors. They said they would. They did not.
