This was an overall excellent place. The staff, the breakfast and the room were all very good. Absolutely no complaints. If you have business at QUB it is a perfect location. Plus it is a very short taxi ride from Grand Central Station.

This was the perfect hotel to get over jetlag and start exploring Belfast. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was quite nice and included a buffet as well as eggs to order. I appreciated that the hotel provided parking, and the location was incredible. This hotel was a very good value for the price. The Tara Lodge exceeded my expectations and was an excellent start to a wonderful holiday in Ireland. I would definitely stay here again given the chance.

The room was a good size, but certainly dated. Staff was nice. The breakfast wasn’t great, so we went over to Maggie May’s around the corner. The location was perfect - super convenient to get around.

A hidden gem! Close to everything, and extremely walkable. The Botanic train station is less than a 5 minute walk away in case you want to visit another area of Belfast, but there are tons of restaurants, shopping, and pubs nearby to keep you busy. The breakfast was phenomenal, the staff super professional, and the rooms were spacious. They do have a free parking lot for about ~10 cars and we were able to snag a spot around 2:30PM (just before the 3PM check-in). If it fills up, no worries! Plenty of on-street parking nearby.
