The staff was delightful and went out of their way to get us settled and make recommendations for dinner, etc. Breakfast was a really nice surprise and set us up for the day. Would definitely stay again and would recommend it to others.
I can't think of anything that was lacking.

Room was a good size, bathroom roomy, very clean, comfortable bed, staff was accommodating, location was great, on site parking available, very good breakfast.
Pillows were way too thick and the coffee was not good, but those weren’t a big issue.

Great breakfast, staff,rooms. Lovely accommodation 15 minute walk to the city centre Good restaurants nearby
Unfortunately the area around the accommodation has some deteriorating social issues relating to drug and alcohol. Having said that we were safe and not approached at any time.

The Tara Lodge was smaller than I expected. The location was fine. The desk attendant, Heather, was wonderful in recommending traditional music and good food.
We couldn't find the stop for the Hop On Hop Off bus. When we did find it, the route was almost over. We did see some of the murals.

The staff took very good care of us. Our room had a lot of space and was very comfortable, had all we needed. Our daily breakfast was taken on the ground floor in a cute little area. The food was good and the service was great. Hotel is just around the corner from a busy shopping area with large range of eateries which we sampled a few with good results.

Clean, spacious and well organised room, big bathroom, good breakfast selection, friendly staff
No A/C, bit noisy depending on where your room is (e.g. train passing by, glass disposal early in the morning)

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.
