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.

We had a very nice stay. The lodge was in a central location in the city--it was within walking distance of many sights and it had easy access to public transportation. We also thought the room was very nice (clean and well-kept), and we found the staff to be very helpful.

My daughter and I had a great stay! Staff are so friendly and couldnā€™t do enough to help if we had a question or request. Only slight downside for me was that there is no air conditioning in the room, I was roasting on the first night. Good location with only a 20 minute walk to city centre. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety to choose from. Thank you for a wonderful welcome and stay in Belfast!
