The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, which gave Tara Lodge the personal touch that sets it apart from the 'big box' hotels. They even set up a very early breakfast just for us when we had to catch an early bus. All-in-all, a wonderful experience!

Only Place in Belfast
The staff were very helpful, especially when we had a problem with phoning our next accommodation. The location could not be better for a Belfast stay. The room was wonderful, and the breakfast was first class. I have already recommended this hotel to a Facebook group member.

We walked down the street to the Botanical Gardens and through Queens University campus. Pleasant walk, lots of students around but it was a quiet neighbourhood. We were able to park at the hotel so that was convenient. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable bed. Staff was friendly and happy to recommend local attractions and give directions. We also were able to borrow hotel umbrellas for our walkabout. Breakfast was great - lots to choose from on the menu (the power porridge was amazing) and serving staff were great. We were tired after travelling up from Dublin and doing touring at Tara and the Titanic Experience so our dinner just needed to be simple, so we chose to pick up subs at Subway down the street but we also stopped for tea at the Caffe Nero which was nice too. Had a good sleep and we headed up the Coastal highway towards the north (recommend!) the next morning. We would stay at the Tara Lodge again.

I can't say enough nice things about Tara Lodge. Excellent in everyway. Cara who checked us in is a delightful and amazing young person, and went above and beyond. All of the staff were great. This hotel checks all the boxes from great location, super clean inside and out, the breakfast was outstanding, has a secured parking area, every amenity is covered. This should be your first choice when in Belfast. Thanks so much Tara Lodge for making our stay a memorable one.
