The Telegraph7.0
"Close to Belfast’s city centre, this five-star hotel is a popular choice among visiting celebrities, offering a cosy, firelit evening atmosphere and good value for money." Full review
Lonely Planet "A new hotel in a truly central location, the Fitzwilliam pushes all the right style buttons with its use of designer fabrics, cool colours and mood lighting." Full review
Independent "Rooms are simply decorated but comfy with DAB radios, wide beds and great views from the upper floors...the Fitzwilliam is easy, reliable and warming."
Michelin Guide "Sister to the Terence Conran–designed Fitzwilliam in Dublin, this Belfast outpost, it’s no shock, is very much in the same vein — a classic yet not exactly show-stopping city-center building whose stately exterior conceals a surprisingly sexy luxury boutique hotel" 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."
