Well rounded museum with the history of Belfast and how it became so important for building ships, then onto the history of the Titanic being built (with an interactive ride!), then eventually to the sinking, rescue efforts, a memorial, and how they found where the ship is now. Definitely worth a visit. We went right at opening and there were a few young school groups there, but we didn’t end up seeing them throughout the exhibit. Recommend checking out the slips and SS Nomadic after.
Awesome. Amazing building and every piece of technology available has been used to tell the Titanic story. I would recommend you take around 2 hours to do the place justice. Audio guides were also very useful to have. Also good eating options if you are in need of refreshments.
Very fascinating history with well thought out exhibits and a very helpful and informative audio guide to take you through.
It was quite busy when we were there and as a result of that found that people were shoving past to keep moving, particularly at some of the exhibit entrances that were quite narrow.
Overall, I really enjoyed this visit and would recommend visiting if you are in Belfast.

If you're in Belfast, this is a MUST!
Absolutely awesome experience bringing alive history from the moment you arrive.
I would highly recommend getting the audio tour as you go around but this took us around two hours on a day when it wasn't very busy.
You can only buy tickets in advance to attend so, pop on the official website. What I would say is that general admission tickets with audio tour, is more than enough

It was the most amazing experience I've been to. Deeply moving, but very well portrayed from the days of linen weaving to that fateful moment in history. Very interactive for all to see, the building of the Titanic was absolutely mind-blowing, and to stand above where she was built and launched was a privilege. The staff were very knowledgeable and extremely polite.
Emotional and educational.
One of the best living museums I've been to, felt fully immersed in the history and proud heritage of it's construction and legacy.
Would recommend to anyone who is thinking of visiting.

Wonderful exhibit
One of my favourite places to visit. I absolutely love titanic Belfast. There is so much history and the experience teaches you all about the Titanic is lots of different ways using lots of different mediums. The whole thing is engaging from beginning to end. You can see what a room would look like. You can take a look at how the ship was painstakingly constructed and you can understand the political climate of the time. Those who’s lives were lost are respected and remember in the exhibition and I would recommend this to anyone In Belfast.
Went for the Magical Christmas Experience. It was magical and amazing. My wee boy loved it. The woman who was the Chief Elf was amazing. My son is autistic and was scared to see Santa, she talked him through it and managed to get him to go meet Santa, which he ended up loving. Santa was brilliant too, took the time to talk to my son, put him at ease & was just really patient.
We also went for the festive Afternoon Tea. It was brilliant. Food was great, the room was lovely. The live music was a nice touch. And of course the staircase was amazing. The staff were lovely and attentive.

Wonderful day out at the titanic museum. The audio guide was informative and the exhibition takes you through the journey from the state of Belfast back during the time of building Titanic, the early stages in drafting and building the body, the further process in making it ready, during the voyage and finally the great tragedy and aftermath. It emulates wonder and astonishment at the great feat to the heart-broken feeling of knowing, if properly managed more people could have been saved.
The SS Nomadic was refurnished to its original glory and a short tour of it let's imagine the beauty that might have been Titanic.
Loved the visit.

Probably one of the best museums I've ever been to. Very stylish and modern place from outside, technologically perfect from inside with lots of interesting facts and rooms. Definitely worth more than 25£ I paid for ticket. Kids would like it as well as there are many interactive things to do + something like small rollercoaster and that was super special. NOMADIC boat outside the museum is also included in the price of ticket so that is really nice bonus.
Great place to not only learn the history of the world's most infamous ship, but to be immersed in it. Many interactive exhibits invite visitors to get hands-on and stay engaged. There's even a bit of a ride, too, that takes you through the construction process. Plan on staying for at least two hours.
A very refined place. The Wolff Grill is high quality fine dining, the bar set in the beautiful surroundings of the old Drawing Office serves great cocktails, all the staff are professional and helpful and the rooms are luxurious and nicely decorated. But the thing that really sets this hotel apart is the history. The old Harland and Wolff office building was restored and turned into this hotel and many of the rooms have been preserved as they were 100 years ago, like the offices of the top management and the telegraph room that the Titanic sent the SOS to, which are open to guests. This history makes staying here a unique experience.
The room was lovely and the hotel was fantastic. Just a shame we had no power/lights in our room all night and into the next day before we checked out.
Maintenance did supply us with a plug in standard lamp but no further input from Management thereafter, which was a little disappointing.

I went on a driving tour throughout the island and this was by far my favorite place to visit. If you're a history buff and are fascinated by the Titanic, you absolutely have to come here. From start to finish the experience is breathtaking. There's something for everyone to take away from visiting. Maybe you'll even catch a double rainbow like I did 🌈
What an amazing place to visit. To see all this on the actual site the ships were built was quite a somber experience.
When we got here we had not booked any tickets and all
The signage outside was saying book online only, we tried to do this without any success at all. So we walked in and was able to book a ticket and do the tour there and then.
The staff are all really friendly and helpful. All ways makes the experience more pleasant.
The building is stunning and the layout is really well thought out and planned.
I won’t talk about what we watched,
Saw and experienced as I think it’s something you just just go and explore yourself but I will say we walked out thinking how amazing the experience was.
If you visit Belfast this in my opinion is a must.

What an amazing place to visit. There is so much information and the museum is well laid out and inactive. The staff was extremely helpful and available if you had any questions. There were lockers available for personal items and luggage.
The museum offers a café and gift shop. Our self guided tour to us about 4 hrs and we could have spent longer looking and reading everything.

I have stayed at the Titanic once before and the stay was amazing. This is the reason I downgraded my review to 4 stars from 5 stars last time after my latest visit: We arrived at the hotel at 3:15pm and the check in is from 3pm. We were really tired after a busy day and we had an early evening event to attend. We really wanted to have a rest before we went out. Unfortunately, our room was not ready. After the receptionist checked with housekeeping, they confirmed that they had not even started to clean it. I know from experience that this takes around 45 minutes. I asked if we could be given another room. The only other room available was an upgrade. We were charged for the new room even though we were very happy with the deluxe room we had booked. I feel this was very unfair as it was the hotels fault that our room was not ready. For the sake of £30, I think the hotel should have waived the upgrade cost as we didn't even want it. We were so tired that we paid it.
We stopped here for 1 night as we were visiting the Titanic Experience. The overall service here was great.
We arrived an hour early, and although our room wasn't yet ready (as expected), we asked if we could drop off our bags, which they were happy to assist us with. We returned around 2 or 3 hours later and our bags had been delivered to our room, which was nice!
The room was a little disappointing as we'd booked the executive room, which was described as having a bath. However, we were given the accessible room despite not needing that, so there wasn't a bath, unfortunately. The bed was also 2 single beds, so there was a gap between the mattresses, which wasn't ideal for a married couple. In saying that, the beds were extremely comfortable and so welcome after only 4 hours of sleep on a travel day!!
The overall design of the hotel was breathtaking, and the amount of care and attention taken to the restoration was clear. There was so much history to take in, and many of the rooms told the story of Harland and Wolff, Thomas Andrew's, and the ships built here.

This is such a brilliant hotel. The service was top notch, the rooms well appointed, and the location is right near everything Titanic. We also ate there three times. Breakfast was vast and delicious, afternoon tea was such a treat and delight, and dinner was very good in the bar! Overall couldn’t recommend this place more highly.
I've only ever been in the main bar here but believe me when I say it's very grand and a beautiful place to enjoy a drink! The staff are incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. The hotel is opposite the Titanic museum and has many nods to the famous doomed ship and all those involved with it's building and running before tragedy hit. I definitely plan on returning for a night or two!
The hotel is across a s the street from the museum and a short walk to local pubs and restaurants. Although there are several restaurants in the hotel and nice bar. Food is good, service is great. Just remember if you are from the States wait staff doesn't hover like we are use to. I found it refreshing. The room has air conditioning! We're stayed in August during the heat wave. It was a pleasure to have a cool room. We will travel back to Belfast and possibly stay here again.
Really recommend. One of the best museums I’ve ever visited. We booked the premium ticket. The guide was really informative and enthusiastic. The staff around the museum were great and happy to help and assist. The museum was really interesting. The building is magnificent and really captivating.
As museums go one of if not the Best we've been to.

Just fantastic is all you can say.
Great location with a wonderful restoration of the original buildings, which gave birth to the design of the Titanic.
The staff are absolutely wonderful in every aspect, and it has been a real pleasure to meet all I encountered. well done to everyone who works there, you all seem to enjoy working in the hotel.
The food was very well presented and tasted great, and the different areas to eat or drink in gave you a good feeling of being relaxed, whatever your background.
The room was very clean as it is throughout the entire hotel and very reto presented feeling as it might been in the day.
Great decor all around with reminders everywhere of many historical events that took place in that time in history
An absolute must visit if you are a Titanic fan!
Loved every single minute of being there.
