Right in the center of lots of shops, pubs, restaurants. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The only drawback for our room is it was on a busy street so at times quite noisy. I would stay again.

Excellent hotel and reasonably priced

All staff that we had contact with at Tara Lodge were excellent. They all were friendly, efficient and welcoming. Our room was spacious, clean and very well serviced each day. Breakfast was exellent and plentyful. The only issue was parking however we were aware of this at the time of booking.

Lovely clean comfortable hotel. Good for the price in Belfast. Easy 18 minutes walk to centre. There is public options close by. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Room lovely and comfortable with fridge kettle tea coffee biscuits hairdryer iron & board toiletries tissues. But no air con and rather hot in august. Fan supplied on request. Breakfast cooked to order and delicious. Area is in university quarter and a little run down with some rough sleepers but did not feel unsafe so don’t let this put you off this lovely hotel. Some train noise at rear of hotel but only noticed due to open windows due to hot weather.
