We spent a night at the Ramada by Wyndham Belfast Cathedral Quarter — right in the heart of the city's most historic square — and I'm telling you everything. The room, the food, the drinks, the breakfast, the price, and whether it genuinely earns your money.
But this hotel sits on ground with a story that most visitors — and plenty of locals — don't know. St Anne's Square was once one of Belfast's worst slum wastelands. It's the birthplace of the famous Belfast Bap, and the entire area — including the iconic spire
you see on top of St Anne's Cathedral — is built on thousands of wooden piles driven into the ground over the buried River Farset below. Before you check in, you need to know what you're standing on.
In this full honest review I take you through the complete room tour, evening dinner, drinks and breakfast. I'll reveal exactly what we paid and give you my straight verdict on whether the Ramada Belfast is the right choice for your stay.
The hotel's location for exploring the Cathedral Quarter is genuinely hard to beat — cobbled streets, Belfast pubs, award-winning restaurants, St Anne's Cathedral, and the MAC Theatre all within a few steps from the front door.
