Avis Central Belfast Apartments: Utility Street

The property is clean and tidy. A great number of good restaurants nearby. Easily accessible to public transport to city centre if you don't drive.

It was quiet, cozy and i loved having the ability to climate control. Im always too hot or too cold lol

The apartment was in a very good location for exploring the city centre and getting out into the countryside. We found Belfast very welcoming.

Booked this at short notice for a weekend trip with partner and baby. Location and apartment upkeep itself was mostly fine (clean, modern and as shown in photos) but three major issues really affected our stay - First, the fire alarm went off late on our first night. It was an intermittent but very loud beep which we looked up in an online manual for that model and read it means the alarm is faulty / old and needs to be replaced. We were really concerned about safety and knew we wouldn't get a decent sleep with it going off intermittently, but we couldn't switch it off. More importantly (and the second major issue) - there is no way to contact the rental company outside of Mon-Fri 9-5pm. So any weekend emergency (like a faulty alarm, a leak, issue with key) is up to you to sort, or find new accommodation. We tried to sort it out via Hotels.com but they too told us they had no way to reach the company until Monday. Lastly, we requested a child cot which we were told would be provided, but the cot in the apartment had no bedding (weren't told to bring any) and no mattress even. It was just the frame and the wooden base board. This *might* do for a temporary playpen for a baby who is sitting or standing, but is in no way safe to sleep. If we had known, we would have brought our own travel cot, but we were stuck with none. Needless to say, it was a very sleepless weekend all around for parents and baby. Strongly recommend visitors to Belfast find a reputable rental instead.

Fantastic apartment, that was super clean with a really comfy bed and all the facilities we needed. A lovely welcome gift was left for us on the dining table which was well received and appreciated. The location is great as you can catch a bus on the main road or walk into the city centre (which takes about 15 mins). Access code information was sent to us the day before and we had no problems getting into the property when we arrived. Communication between us and the apartment people was brilliant throughout the whole booking process and even the day we arrived to check we were ok to get into the apartment. I'd asked for suggestions of where to visit during our stay and the reply email was really helpful and we visited all the suggested sites and were not disappointed. The deposit refund was processed the day we left with no problems. We were sad to leave as it felt like home from home and we would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to visit Belfast.

Brilliant little find. Close to the centre of Belfast and with a railway station nearby if needed. Well kept and secure, tea and coffee provided plus a bottle of wine! Great communication from the owners. Would certainly use again if I visit Belfast.

Ideally situated near central Belfast. Clean modern apartment would definitely use again.
