“great value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

I stayed two nights at the Farset,28th and 29th of December.Its perfect if you are visiting Belfast,its cheap,its near to the City Centre and its clean.The staff are all friendly and helpful so the next time im in Belfast i will be staying here.If youre looking for a luxurious boutique type hotel look elsewhere but if you want a decent and clean place that doesnt break the bank go for it.

“Love it, stay here everytime I am in Belfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

person found this review helpful

I love the Farset International, lovely view, great breakfast and reasonable, helpful staff and the price is good.
It isn't fancy but it is great for me - a private room, private bathroom, TV, fresh air instead of car exhaust or recycled and watching the birds in the pond morning and evening and watching the lights of Belfast just makes my day. There are no private phones but I always have my cell phone and there is a pay phone.
If you want an evening meal you can order it there or order it from nearby take aways and have it delivered fast, taxi service is great or the bus stops not far outside.
I have stayed downtown and hated it, just love the Farset.
Because of the different wings if you find a noisey neighbour you can be moved to another area. There is a kitchen and laundry as well.
The only thing that is unfortunate is that the prices have increased.

“You get what you pay for.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

Room was small and bed was short and not very comfortable. Six footers will have problems. No drawers or shelves were provided, just a wardrobe. Shower in bath as usual but very good flow. Check cleanliness of towels before using as they don't seem to as I got a couple of 'streaks' from previous users. Staff are very friendly and extremely helpful although not very professional, eating their meals at reception area and desk. Tariff included free breakfast cereals. toast and tea and coffee although not very hot out of thermos jugs. In the end you get what you pay for.

Stayed a week in July 2011. I think I'll pay the extra elsewhere.

“You will be very happy that you stayed here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2010

I loved staying at Farset so much I came back three years running! The staff is friendly, the rooms comfortable, and the location is handy to tourist travel. The rooms have two singles beds, ensuite baths, and clean, clean, clean. Big surprise this year as there is now flat screan TVs in each room. They serve great cooked breakfasts and will serve/save you lunch or dinner with advance notice.
Need travel advice or want bus or train times? The front desk folks will be on it in a flash. I highly recommend Farset International for short or long term stays for individuals or families.
