Excellent, comfortable stay

I couldn't fault anything. Excellent hotel, comfortable beds, lovely staff. Situated in a nice area, very easy to get around, and within walking distance to a choice of cafes and restaurants as well as other places of interest. Would stay there again when I'm in Belfast.

I don't know Belfast very well but this hotel is located in a very busy but convenient location. Not posh by any means, but the place is nice and well kept, and the staff are wonderful. The street is residential but quiet at night. I left my windows open at night. I heard some people, but nothigh to disturb your sleep.

Friendly staff at check in! We arrived early and our room was not yet ready. We also discovered a bolt in our rental car's tire. The front desk person (Karin) allowed us to park our vehicle in the garage area while we awaited for a tire repair technician. She also served us coffee and biscuits before the rest of my family headed out to see some local attractions. Later, she was able to get us a cab and assisted in getting us reservations for dinner. The hotel is nice and I will be staying at the Tara Lodge again!
