Our room was clean & spacious. The staff was prompt and helpful. Shauna was very welcoming at our check-in, giving us information about Belfast including a map and how to access transit. The included breakfast was excellent. Full continental items along with menu service. They were even kind enough to accommodate us a few minutes earlier than their posted opening hour as we had limited time the morning we checked out.

Couldn’t say enough positives about this property and the staff. Everyone was so cheerful and attentive…the team were eager to guide and give recommendations for our stay. Both of the restaurants they suggested for dining were fantastic. The breakfast at the lodge was delicious, varied, fresh and served with a smile and pleasant conversation. I would highly recommend Tara Lodge to anyone

My hubby and I had an impromptu short break over to Ireland from Aberdeen Scotland. Booked last minute to stay at Tara Lodge … what a little gem of a place!! We would have stayed another night but unfortunately it was fully booked!😢 our room was lovely, spacious, modern, clean & quiet & the staff were all great, especially Eavann at reception who could not do enough for us to find another hotel. Wish all hotels were like this fab little place. We will definitely be booking here next time we visit Belfast!

Friendly efficient staff running like clockwork. Clean and comfortable and with a slightly quirky vibe. Lively convenient area with restaurants and bars, but tucked a short step away in a side street so quiet enough. We will return.

We stayed in this property for 2 nights and enjoyed our stay immensely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were quiet, clean and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was a choice of hot options or continental and was excellent. After travelling in Ireland and Northern Ireland for nearly 3 weeks this was the first hotel with a fridge in the room. The property is just 15 minutes walk from the city. We would not hesitate to book this accommodation when returning to Belfast.

Great hotel with wonderful staff.
We stayed at Tara Lodge with friends for a weekend break in Belfast. It's a wonderful city and the hotel was in a great location, with several bars and restaurants within a 10 minute walk, Botanic train station 2 minutes away and about a 15 minute walk to the city centre. The hotel was spotlessly clean, the rooms were warm and comfortable, breakfast was amazing and the staff were attentive and so friendly.

This was a very well located hotel just far enough off the main road to be quiet. Easy enough to walk into city center. No issues with getting taxi or uber.

This was one of the sweetest, cleanest and well run hotels we have encountered. Although rooms are compact, they were beautiful, immaculate and complete. The staff were very welcoming and helpful at all times. The breakfast included in the price was phenomenal, both the buffet style and the menu driven complete English breakfast. Small parking area was available, no charge, in the rear and lots of restaurants within easy walking distance. A winner in all regards....

Tara Lodge was truly a rare find. Oh! I so wish I could remember their names, but the two young ladies at the front on our last morning (early October 2023) were splendid. We were exhausted and both sporting head colds after (my) overplanning of our 10 days in Ireland and Northern Ireland, and having not factored in "weather (read: bracing wind and torrential downpours)" on our two big days down South on foot. They were lovely, helped to head off a taxi driver who arrived 3 hours early, and then brought us hot coffee and cookies while we waited… hacking up all sorts of horrible gunk from our lungs… in Tara Lodge's peaceful lounge for 30 minutes prior to departing by Black Cab. The breakfast was outstanding as well! We will definitely stay there again. The people and the location were amazing - we could walk everywhere, and the staff members were unswervingly wonderful.
