8.0
"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
"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
"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
"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."

"The latest jewel in the crown of Belfast hospitality king Bill Wolsey, the man behind the five-star Merchant Hotel and a host of right-on pubs." Full review
"Cool Steve McQueen tribute that forgoes outdated hospitality hallmarks (wardrobes, mini-fridges) in favor of roomier digs." Full review
"The Bullitt (doubles from £89) is reasonably priced, right in the city centre, with DJ nights, pop-ups and a relaxed feel"
Top choice
"The Bullitt is a haven for the hip, with super-fast wi-fi, smart TVs, an espresso bar, restaurant and two bars (one of them ski-themed) – there's even Bullitt beer on tap." Full review
"This hotel is a tribute to Steve McQueen. And it’s a great escape indeed, impressively pulling off retro appeal without descending into kitsch. Rooms come in “dinky”, “comfy” and “roomy” sizes"
