The location was great for us with lots of eateries very close by and the botanical gardens only a short walk away. All the staff were extremely helpful and lovely
The parking was very difficult to navigate

Breakfast was excellent and the room was very quiet. I would have preferred a more comfortable armchair but overall, i really enjoyed my stay.

Superbly located, clean and well equipped hotel within walking distance to the city centre with very kind and helpful staff and a more than tasty breakfast which you have to order from the card but which you can also modify and pick and choose to your liking. Parking spaces are available on site but they are not matching the number of the rooms. So it’s the early bird who catches the worm. The late ones have to look for parking spaces in the nearby streets where parking is however still free of charge.

The location is just outside the city centre and just around the corner from the train station. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was very spacious with a very comfortable bed.
Although there is parking free of charge, there is limited spaces which you would need to keep in mind if you are staying here.

Great location in Queen’s University neighborhood, easy good bicycle parking for two bikes in enclosed courtyard, fine breakfast, nice staff, good value. Room comfortable except for the fact it was very warm (even though the temp outside was moderate). There was a fan in the room so obviously the hotel knows that.
Room very warm, no bar or ability to get a beer or soda at the property.

I liked how clean and fresh it was. The reception, breakfast room and bedroom were all super clean and felt very new. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nicely and freshly cooked. It was not greasy, as is sometimes the case with hotel breakfasts. The bedroom had a fridge, iron, hairdryer, bottled water, etc and it was very nicely decorated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and we were very happy.
Not as much parking as I thought there would be, so we ended up parking for free down the street from the Tara Lodge. Traffic outside was a little noisy.
