The Telegraph7.0
"With fittings salvaged from a church and hand-painted interiors, it’s like staying in the Vatican, except with good food and more than just communion wine." Full review
Independent "Belfast’s "Golden Mile" may have a bit of competition from the Cathedral Quarter and Lisburn Road these days for the title of being the city’s premier nightlife strip, but Benedicts is still a stylish and somewhat eclectic bolthole for a hedonistic weekend"
Lonely Planet "Bang in the middle of the Golden Mile, Benedicts is a modern, style-conscious hotel at the heart of South Belfast's nightlife." Full review
Independent "Stone arches, exposed bricks, immense columns and salvaged stained glass give this place a funky yet ecclesiastical look...retractable roof in the beer garden is a boon if rain makes and appearance."

Lonely Planet "The Malmaison is a luxurious haven of king-size beds, deep leather sofas and roll-top baths big enough for two." Full review
Michelin Guide "At just 64 rooms, it’s the smallest and most intimate of the chain, and it’s possibly the most stylish, blending a number of historical references into a surprisingly modern cocktail." Full review
