Hotel was very nice and the staff were friendly and helpful, only downside was there was some construction in the street which was quite noisy but it did not spoil our stay....oh and the breakfsat was great.......

The service and amenities were fine, the room extraordinarily attractive and comfortable. In a lovely location on a quiet street near Queens College, a lively shopping street, a train and a bus stop and the Botanical Gardens. However, the visit for me was ruined by their "filtering" of my wifi access to the Internet. This blocked my use of perfectly innocent social networking sites as inappropriate. I accuse this hotel and any like it of police state policies! I've never experienced this is any hotel in Europe, the US or Latin America. Fortunately I was able to go to a cafe across the street which had uncensored, free wifi. Avoid this hotel, and perhaps Northern Ireland, if Internet is important to you.

All the other reviews have it right - well located in university, Botanic area of city, about 10 mins walk from the centre. Close to lots of restaurants. Well served by many bus routes. The hotel is clean, efficiently run with terrific staff who were very knowledgeable about the city, the attractions and restaurants. Thanks for the recommendations! The breakfasts were amazing. Room and bed perfect. Free parking on site.

Ideally situated in Belfast, Tara Lodge is a high quality hotel offering all the facilities you need. The rooms are impeccable, spacious and tastefully decorated. The staff is helpful and rather kind. We appreciated the variety of choice for breakfast which was excellent and served with efficiency. All in all, it's an address to remember and to recommend to anyone who wants to discover Belfast.
