Location was great. The room facing window was too thin so at night it was a bit hard to sleep. But the room was spacious and sense of privacy. A bit dusty but overall clean.

The 1852 was a great place to start our tour of Ireland and definitely our stay in Belfast! Check in was smooth and we appreciated them leaving some beers for welcome and to recognize folks checking themselves in. (Unfortunately there appeared to be some folks that thought they needed all the free beer). We had a hike of the stairs as there isn’t an elevator, but loved the room, hotel, pub and location!
