The location was perfect for our one night stay in Belfast. There was plenty of on street parking as the hotel lot was full so we didn’t have to venture far to park. The staff were friendly and efficient and the hotel room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the staff fast and friendly. I would recommend Tara Lodge for your Belfast stay.

Close to Botanic Gardens and train station, and easy walk to many restaurants, etc. Helpful and friendly staff.
On-site parking was limited. We found a free spot in the street, but if the university had been in session that might have been difficult.

We chose to stay here as it offers parking and we were lucky to secure a place throughout our stay. The staff are all outstanding, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, prepared exactly as we wanted it. The laundry service was very efficient and reasonably priced, per bag if you preferred. One of our party had broken her ankle a few weeks before and the hotel was able to move her to a special handicapped room.
We had a problem with our toilet which the staff tried to sort out for us. The weather was very hot and there is no a/c. Opening windows helped though our room was by the railway so there was a little noise. The local area is rather rundown and we saw several homeless people. We never felt unsafe, it was just rather sad.

The hotel was clean and staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good.
We did not like the location of the hotel. There was no parking left in the hotel parking lot so we had to park in the street and were worried about the safety of our car. Although the area didn’t look safe, we did eat at a nice Italian restaurant just down on the Main Street less than 5 minutes from the hotel. We would not stay here again.

The friendly staff met us at reception. Our room was ready, so we were able to check in early. The breakfast was lovely and had plenty to offer. The train station is literally around the corner with plenty of shops and places to dine.
The rooms were a little warm but if you opened the windows there was road noise. However, this was only a minor thing

Close to Botanic train station, the university and lots of restaurants. Small hotel with elevator and free parking. Staff were very efficient, helpful and friendly. Best of all, when we returned for our second visit of the trip, they had a little gift of lovely macarons and a handwritten note welcoming us back.

Very kind and helpful staff at reception and breakfast Breakfast Outstanding z- choice and food and service
Limited parking - but I did find a place. The Black Taxi tour driver knowingly cheated me. The Reservation was made by the hotel reception for me.This was not the fault of the reception making the booking but the driver of the outfit they hooked me up with. Reflected badly on the hotel. The company they used did not have control of its drivers.

Everything. Parking at the hotel in the city is a plus. The room was extremely comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was a full sit down meal with wait staff. Much more than I expected.
