We had a very nice stay. The lodge was in a central location in the city--it was within walking distance of many sights and it had easy access to public transportation. We also thought the room was very nice (clean and well-kept), and we found the staff to be very helpful.

My daughter and I had a great stay! Staff are so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help if we had a question or request. Only slight downside for me was that there is no air conditioning in the room, I was roasting on the first night. Good location with only a 20 minute walk to city centre. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety to choose from. Thank you for a wonderful welcome and stay in Belfast!

I think this is a fabulous property and I would definitely stay here again. More importantly, I think northern Ireland is worth a visit. But this is a very fine place to stay. The staff are just outstanding and you get a breakfast cooked for you specifically each morning. I cannot say enough good things about staying at the Tara Lodge.

lovely overnight stop
Room was clean and tidy, windows could actually open which gave us some fresh air. Good range of toiletries including hair conditioner, really appreciated as so many hotels just do a combined shampoo and conditioner, also a body lotion. Friendly front desk, left too early to get a breakfast but a continental one to go was offered
