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.
