"The 34-room Tara Lodge is a modern, friendly boutique in a leafy residential area of Belfast within walking distance of the city center." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Handy location, good value, friendly and helpful staff, monster breakfasts, free Wi-Fi, off-street parking and nicer rooms and bathrooms than many hotels at twice the price." Full review
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 "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."

Fodor's "If you don't feel like straying too far from your home base for some nightlife, Benedict's has a buzzing bar and restaurant serving finely done Continental food." Full review
Frommer's "This is one of a new generation of ultrahip small hotels that are springing up in central Belfast. The rooms are clean and modern... and the staff is pleasant and helpful." Full review
Insight Guides "Good-value boutique-style hotel with an excellent restaurant, which uses local produce. ."
The Telegraph7.0
"With fittings salvaged from a church and hand-painted interiors, it’s like staying in the Vatican, except with good food and more than just communion wine." Full review
Independent "Belfast’s "Golden Mile" may have a bit of competition from the Cathedral Quarter and Lisburn Road these days for the title of being the city’s premier nightlife strip, but Benedicts is still a stylish and somewhat eclectic bolthole for a hedonistic weekend"
Lonely Planet "Bang in the middle of the Golden Mile, Benedicts is a modern, style-conscious hotel at the heart of South Belfast's nightlife." Full review
Independent "Stone arches, exposed bricks, immense columns and salvaged stained glass give this place a funky yet ecclesiastical look...retractable roof in the beer garden is a boon if rain makes and appearance."
