What we loved most about this hotel was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly accommodating and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of restaurants, convenience stores, and major tourist attractions. Our room was cleaned every day, and the breakfast exceeded our expectations. Aside from the pastries and unlimited coffee and tea, there were several hot meal options to choose from. A lovely surprise awaited us when we returned from our day trip—a sweet wedding anniversary greeting with delicious macarons. It was a thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more memorable. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
The only minor downside was the limited on-site parking. However, there was street parking available nearby, so it wasn’t a major issue.

This is my 4th time staying at Tara Lodge and with good reason! The staff are lovely, every single person from check in to breakfast are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is convenient for the university and city center areas. Plenty of food options nearby as well.

Great breakfast, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and a very clean, comfortable room.
The neighbourhood did not feel particularly safe, and noise from the adjacent room, including the TV and bathroom, was clearly audible.

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.
