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."

The Telegraph6.0
"Converted from an 1867 seed warehouse in 1998, this boutique hotel has stayed both funky and popular since then, close to the city’s major attractions, with friendly staff and a buzzing bar." Full review
Frommer's "A gorgeous four-story building, with weathered stone walls and tall arched windows...Bedrooms are large, very quiet, and comfortable, with neutral colors, low lighting, huge beds, and modern bathrooms" Full review
Lonely Planet "The Malmaison is a luxurious haven of king-size beds, deep leather sofas and roll-top baths big enough for two." Full review
Michelin Guide "At just 64 rooms, it’s the smallest and most intimate of the chain, and it’s possibly the most stylish, blending a number of historical references into a surprisingly modern cocktail." Full review
