This Quarter consist of 1) the Titanic museum, which is probably the main attraction and gives the area its name 2) Film Studios - where Game of Thrones is filmed. On the tour bus, when we went past the studio, our guide pointed out the castle turrets, so I got to see a bit of King's Landing set 3) an Arena - our Belfast Black Cab Tour guide talked about how the Arena hosts a lot of musical acts and also is the home to a local ice-hockey team. The ice-hockey team was a way to reconcile Northern Ireland Protestants and Catholics via sport, but it's mostly American, Canadian & Russian players on the team. He also mentioned how when a name was being chosen for the team, there was a lot of suggestions for them to be called the Belfast Bombers!! (That Northern Ireland ironic wit slays me!!!) note - the teams official name was ultimately chosen to be Belfast Giants after Finn McCool 4) historic maritime landmarks like the only other surviving ship built by the same company that built the Titanic 5) my fave landmark in this area however are the Harland and Wolff shipyard's giant yellow cranes! The local name for these is Samson & Goliath. Also the H & W symbols on them, the locals would say those stood for Hate & War in the pre-troubles area. Now they are called Hope & (I cant remember with the W stood for, but again just another great example of the ironic local sense of humor) One tip - if u need loo facilities while visiting the area, the Bathrooms are on the lower level of the Titanic Museum!

I made a mistake on an online booking and booked right dates in the wrong month. Could not be fixed from the web site. Called immediately. Guest Services were closed at 5:30 pm. Called the next day, waited 45 minutes on hold, talked to Ann. Told I had to talk to Guest Relations but they were closed. The next day, waited 35 minutes on hold, got Guest Services who put me on hold for 25 minutes, to put me through to Guest Relations. Told that nothing could be done until it became a "Past Booking". The day it became a "Past Booking" I called, and was on hold for 40 minutes, spoke with Robert who said: "you can not receive a refund, nothing can be done". Spoke to Mega, one of the managers who said: "the terms of our online agreement do not allow us to refund you. Asked to speak to her manager. Said her manager was "Ellen but she's not really my manager, she just sort of oversees what I do. She's not available to speak to you." I spent almost as much, on long distance hold, US to Ireland, than the reservation cost. I travel for my living. Have never had worse customer service.

I have not had much experience with these guys apart from taking a jaunt into their offices whilst passing by. Their office's are a little bare, but its the style of most agents offices now to look kinda of minimal. They were quite friendly to me when I enquired about a property, although they did get a little pushy when I said I'll come back later. I had only come in to be nosey (and grab a sneaky Yelp) but I ended up giving them my mobile number to just get back out of the door! I have heard of some people having problems when they're rented accommodation was being managed by Property People, but who doesn't have a gripe with those people who take your money off you every month!

All the staff were huddled together at a computer giggling eating and making us feel uncomfortable as if we were wasting their time. 3 staff members in the office and when we asked to see a suitable apartment I was told they could fit us in next day at 2 as they were too busy. Went to other agency and got sorted with viewing same day and have happily got sorted. Worst experience ever, no customer service at all. AVOID UNLESS DESPERATE.
University Properties
Unhelpful. I suppose I should show a bit of an interest in writing this review, despite the fact…read morethat University Properties could not show even the slightest bit of interest in me and my girlfriend. We went into the office which was seemingly deserted, a strange sign for an estate agents that specialises in students. We were greeted by a little girl who did not know what houses were for rent and what houses weren't. So instead of finding out what we could have rented, we instead left with a card and a bit confused. We didn't get a house with University Properties. And we didn't keep the card. Like I said... Unhelpful
Have been with University properties now for a year and intend to rent another flat with them next…read moreyear. Like any estate agents if you ring ahead they will are more than accommodating to find you a suitable house/ flat. The flats we live in currently ( 8 friends live in two separate flats in the one house, 4 to each flat) are a bit smaller than most houses you will find in the Holy Lands, however the kitchen fittings are modern and clean compared to most kitchens I've viewed.. and we have went to over 15 viewings in the past. The flat is big enough for what we need and makes it easier to heat. Rent is a bit pricy for the size of the flat but the location of most of their flats/ houses are perfect as they are just off Botanic Avenue which is VERY close to the Botanic Train Station and Uni Link to Belfast and Jordanstown campus. Lots of shops, cafes, fast food outlets and restaurants around these flats. We come into contact with three members of Staff at University properties, Paul, Margaret and 'the handyman' (Think his name is Brian?) all of whom are very friendly and down to earth. If there is any problem they usually get back to us very quickly, even out of hours.

(See my review on Northern Property NI, I added the company on here as it conveniently seemed to avoid Yelp somehow). We told them what we went through and they wanted to help us straight away. We went for a viewing of an apartment right round the corner from the place we were meant to move in to with those Northern Property glipes and this place was in immaculate condition! Every fraction of the place was sparkling. There was a brand new mattress on the bed, sofas etc as advertised. It was massive and £25 cheaper for better quality (see my other review on that). We had our own furniture though but because the guy who owned the place was now living abroad he couldn't take the things away so we put them in the spare bedroom and my partner used it as a man cave lol the only thing was we had a few insignificant faults that we contacted them about and a guy came out to have a look and log them but nothing was ever done about them in the year we were there no matter how many times they came out to look at them. The maintenance manager is a lovely guy and the girl Sinead we were dealing with was brilliant, they're all so friendly you could happily talk to them all day! The only reason why we left was we were expecting our first baby and there wasn't the room for the nursery because of the owners furniture but I would recommend this company to everyone!

Property Link was one of many estate agents I visited along the Lisburn Road. I had a fairly specific idea of what I wanted and they were brilliant at trying to meet my needs. They didn't try to just shove any old house onto me, they did just try to keep to what I wanted. Whilst I didn't go with any of the houses they offered, it was a pleasant experience dealing with these guys and I wouldn't have a problem going to them again, whenever I need a new place.

We only found this information out when we phoned them to move in. They held 2 £1200 deposits for the same house, hardly ethical. Now homeless, starting a new job in 1 week. Many thanks Property link. PLEASE AVOID

GJ Piney acted as my letting agents for over 15 yrs…read more Throughout this period I was always impressed by the courtesy and professionalism displayed by their staff. They were always able source good quality tenants and at no stage did we experience a vacancy. Latterly letting regulations have become more onerous on landlords but Piney have always been able to keep their clients up to date with changes. As a landlord I would have no hesitation in recommending Piney as agents.
Ha-ha notorious Piney. Everyone who is a student knows about Piney. And not for good reasons…read more Piney prides itself on having a large share of houses within the student area, so hence everyone knowing about them. Piney does not do what housing estate agents are supposed to, and that is pride itself on providing the best service for their wonderful clients. Rather, they get themselves a flock of tenants, then they give the keys, collect the money and that's it. Perhaps they tried once a long time ago to make the best of a bad market, and perhaps they tried to be as friendly and as gracious to students as possible, and perhaps they were burned by some unruly household who broke a mirror or unscrewed a door, because now sadly they just don't even try anymore. My girlfriend used Piney in first year and despite there being a number of problems with the house that they were told would be fixed, they never were. And no amount of complaining got them fixed. And I dare say if we went round to the house, the problems would still be there. If you want a house, Piney will sort you out. If you want good service, look elsewhere. Piney just don't care anymore.

The store is clean and tidy, and the staff friendly and courteous.
Pound World, erstwhile companion to Poundland has taken up residence in the former Laser shop on…read moreConnswater link, and is fast becoming a favourite of the permanently skint such as myself. Initial impressions are of the physical size of the place, compared to a lot of pound shops, this place is huge, there's room to actually browse without some harassed looking woman in a tracksuit barging past you with her similarly attired offspring trailing in her wake. Which merely gives you more time to peruse the vast amount of tat on sale, like I said in a previous review, the skill is going for the few "name" brands that are for sale at cheapo money, as opposed to lesser products that look more impressive. Sometimes it's hard to tell what is on a 3 for £1 offer or 2 for £1 offer, mainly due to a lack of shelf edge labels, just means you get somebody overcharged and complaining at the till, or frantically running to get a missing product to comlete the offer. But the strangest thing about this store is the background muzak, the first few times I was here, it appeared to be some kind of 80's compilation, to my eternal shame I recognized every song, lately it's some kind of 90's eurodance vibe going on, it's most strange trying to choose which mouthwash to buy when you're being aurally assaulted by the macerena or Barbie Girl. All in all, a decent effort though, if you can stand the cheesy muzak.

I can only comment on the service I have received as a tenant but not the other services. This office is located on Woodstock Road, close to the city centre. Campbell and Co does not restrict their sales and lettings on particular areas but offer properties from all over Belfast and even from beyond. Their website is very informative and easy to navigate. I have come across their ads on one of the major property sites and I have been their client for 2.5 years now. I am pleased with their customer service as they are very flexible when it comes to property viewings, all the correspondence and contracts are very clear and understandable, and they conduct business very quickly. Highly recommended.

Had it not been…read morefor the property itself, that we love, we would be with another letting agent a long time ago. Starting with the staff - In their defense there is one nice member of staff who is always helpful and friendly. The rest of the staff who I have had dealings with are quite the opposite and are very rude, unhelpful and often tell you lies like "Yes of course he will be at your property today to fix your shower" or "yes this property is the only one in the street fitted with an alarm" - a blatant lie when you hear other neighbours alarms going off at 3am. Regarding inspections which are contractually mean't to be carried out every 3 months, they seem to come every 2 months if not less. They will not re-arrange your inspection, even if you have exceptional circumstances. ie: your family is staying. Their inspectors don't check all the rooms, don't even peer over to see the garden, do not check for damage and rarely even check the kitchen area. ps: if I was a landlord, paying them good money for their services (ie: to inspect the house to make sure the tenants aren't doing damage) I would ask for a refund. I have often toyed with the idea of ringing the landlord directly to advise her to get a new letting agent. Lastly, repairs - You could have no hot water, no shower and no electric and you would ring them to get an electrican/plumber round straight away. How quickly do you think they will help you? Well first of all they will send their sales guy round to make sure you are a) not lying about your problem and b) not so stupid you forgot to turn the shower on or your tap off. Then you will be promised action straight away, they won't return your calls or they will straight up lie to you and you will be left out of the picture with a leaky tap or a broken shower, for days. In a nutshell, they couldn't care less about your property or your tenants. They will lie to you, ignore you, talk down to you and walk all over you. I found the only thing that works when dealing with them is to not bother - because it really won't make a blind bit of diffference. Avoid at all costs.

Now I'm not the best person to experience this as I was getting very claustrophobic and couldn't wait to get out of the place, but I must admit the experience was fascinating. It was amazing to see what the layout was like and how people have to live inside. I was intrigued by the 'convict' for want of a better word who spent 26 years inside for a crime he didn't commit. He talked us though the day to day life which sounded horrible. It certainly would put you off thinking about committing a crime. I think using this method to teach children about the wrongs involved in crime would certainly teach them a heck of a lot more than some psychologist saying oh kids now don't do this, it's bad. Although the experience certainly spooked me out, it was amazing to be able to meet this man face to face and discuss with him the reality of his life.
