Rod, the bartender, was the best! Friendly, welcoming, interesting, kind and helpful. He and some of the regular bar patrons made my first day in Belfast so much fun. Lovely spot!

You can not find a cheap pint anymore, but if you do want to go for a few, then you have to find a pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and lively craic. I live close to the Parador, so it's my local, and it's the first pub that's felt like "my local" since my younger days back home in the County Down countryside. The food is delicious, the service prompt and friendly and the beer offerings very good. If you enjoy a good session, then music get togethers can be enjoyed a few nights a week!

We happened to see the local ukulele group on Thursday evening, a wonderfully happy affair. Local groups also meet on other evenings to play music. Good service. Drinks, nuts.

Pub is a real mixed bag depending which locals you sit around. Quite a tribal bar. I have to say though they are the most normal/regular on ormeau in terms of price and service, nothing pretentious going on here and the cost of things is generally fair. Would love some IPAs on draft but not sure everyone would feel the same.

I was here for a 50th birthday party and we had a really good night. The staff were amazing, and you knew by the way you could have a bit of craic with them, that they enjoyed their work. This was my first visit here and I am delighted to say the Guinness was excellent.

Room was spacious and property was quiet. I didn't hear the bar downstairs at all, it was also a nice place to have a drink and watch football. The best thing about this place would be the staff, friendly and kind. My sincere appreciation would go to Paul though. I left my leather jacket in the room and had already gone back to Bray before realizing it. When I called the next morning, Paul answered and came up with a plan to meet me in Dublin a couple days later to give it back. Amazing!

Fresh from the experience of this almost completely negative structure. The continental breakfast, although already paid for, is non-existent. A space made available to guests is dirty from previous uses and therefore without assistance for cleaning. Today is Sunday and the reception is closed because it is located inside a pub which is closed today. The only positive note is that the rooms are clean

Positive point: impeccable room. Negative points: very small room for 3 people, very noisy because it is located on a busy street and in an overhead corridor, room not made from one night to the next, breakfast to make yourself and do the dishes afterwards! To be taken as a rental rather than a hotel.

We we arranged a function (Birthday Party) at The Parador in the function room and also booked a number of rooms to stay overnight. I was impressed with them. The booking process went well and communication was very good between the Parador and us to ensure we got what we wanted. On the night, it also went smoothly, everything that we asked for, we got. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Even when the function was on, the DJ was playing and the main bar was in full swing, you could hear some (not too much) sound in the rooms on the first floor. Though, on the second floor it was silent - no noise travelled up. We slept well in comfortable beds and in the morning we made our own breakfast in the communal kitchen, where cereal, milk, juice tea, coffee and bread for toasting were all provided. Would I got back - certainly, without a second thought. The place was good, the staff were great. A special acknowledgement goes to Peter who managed the original booking and to Donna who kept everything running smoothly on the night - thank you to you both and to the other staff who made our party and stay a pleasure.
