The stay was good. The only bummer was when we were going to dinner and was going to ask the front desk her suggestions and they weren’t at the desk then we got back and she was there and told us the place we went we would’ve got a discount for staying there.

Tara Lodge was truly a home away from home. When we booked this hotel that included breakfast we had no idea how fabulous breakfast would be. We expected the standard buffet not a customized order to your preference cooked and served meal. The servers went all out to ensure that each day began with anything your heart desired for breakfast. The hotel is clean, well maintained and extremely comfortable. We were greeted each time we entered and left. Everyone at the front desk was so friendly and helpful in pointing out places to visit and eat. I easily rate this hotel 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Belfast!

Great location just outside Queens University and a 10 minute walk to city center. Plenty of restaurants but recommend NU Delhi. Terrific! Staff at Tara couldn’t have been nicer and they serve up a delicious breakfast with lots of choices. Free parking on site.

Belfast first visit

B&B was good. Room well appointed although a little tired. Breakfasts really good and staff all super friendly. Very very close to Botanic train station to reach Titanic quarter, Central Belfast or Airport in just a few stops. Zone 1 train pass got us all the way to Holywood which is the area we’d stay in if visiting again! Missing a lounge area or somewhere to get a drink in the evening, which we didn’t think we’d need as close to bars and restaurants but in reality those weren’t tourist friendly and the Botanic area didn’t feel like a very safe neighbourhood after dark. Useful car park although tiny and street spaces very close would fill at times.

I don't know Belfast very well but this hotel is located in a very busy but convenient location. Not posh by any means, but the place is nice and well kept, and the staff are wonderful. The street is residential but quiet at night. I left my windows open at night. I heard some people, but nothigh to disturb your sleep.

Friendly staff at check in! We arrived early and our room was not yet ready. We also discovered a bolt in our rental car's tire. The front desk person (Karin) allowed us to park our vehicle in the garage area while we awaited for a tire repair technician. She also served us coffee and biscuits before the rest of my family headed out to see some local attractions. Later, she was able to get us a cab and assisted in getting us reservations for dinner. The hotel is nice and I will be staying at the Tara Lodge again!
