The accommodations at Tara Lodge were perfect for a short stay in Belfast with easy access to the Titanic Museum and BHD airport. The staff and service were superior specifically highlighting Helena and Ricky who were always pleasant, helpful, friendly, and offering assistance. The included breakfast was fantastic. Thank you so much, we really enjoyed our stay!

Lovely staff that prepared a take away breakfast for us because of our early check out. Nice room with all you need. The bathroom wasn't as modern as other hotels but was very clean. The beds were a little sunken in in the middle, but the best we've stayed in in Belfast anyway. Nice location, within walking distance to the grand central. Really nice inn! We are happy!

It was a lovely property with parking on site. A good breakfast and it was close to all the cities attractions The midday checkout was also very convenient for us Do take note that the train line does Run past the hotel at the back so it is better to take a room on the front road side
