Frommer's

"When Tara Lodge opened a dozen years ago, it was part of a wave of modern, inexpensive, boutique-style hotels in Belfast, a city where good budget accommodations were scarce" Full review

Lonely Planet

Top Choice

"This guesthouse feels more like a boutique hotel with its clean-cut, minimalist decor, friendly and efficient staff, and 34 bright and cheerful rooms." Full review

Independent

"It’s still a contender in the style stakes, with rooms being sun-drenched oases of smooth honeyed woods and velvet throws. The bathrooms, in cool slate and white tones."
