Motel in Belfast

“Pleasantly surprised by how spacious, clean and comfortable our twin room was — would have absolutely no hesitation in staying again! Mattresses very comfy, location quiet and convenient, breakfast nice, and the 24-hour pizza service a yummy treat. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only major downside would be the toilet doors offering very little privacy… but shy guests will be glad to know there are private loos by reception.”

“My favourite place to stay in Belfast! Absolutely fantastic staff. So friendly and welcoming and little touches like this that you would never get from some of the big city center hotels. Always enjoy my stay in Tara Lodge.”

“We stayed here for 4 nights last week. We loved it! The hotel celebrates people important to the area. We stayed in the John Cleaver suite (we got upgraded). The room and adjoining bathroom was beautiful. The owner has obviously put a great deal of thought and care into this hotel. I loved that it's not got a corporate identity and the quirkiness of it. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was incredible, with so much choice, we've never seen such a decadent breakfast in a hotel. Drinks and entertainment are available in the lounge in the evenings. We didn’t take advantage of this, purely because I have ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) and I needed to rest early in the evenings ahead of the next day's activities. Situated minutes from a bus stop for buses into the city. The hop on, hop off tour buses stop outside too. We had a wonderful stay - first time to Belfast but we will return!”

“I chose to stay here vs. a Premier Inn & I was so pleased I did!! Such lovely hosts, Avril & Terry. So friendly & welcoming. Granted the Inn is slightly dated but I like that, why does everything have to be so modern? It's beautifully quirky & my bed had its own postcode. So comfortable! Well needed after a long day travelling & working. The small touches of the alcohol fridge in the shared sitting room was lovely, along with the small extra touches such as a generous amount of teabags/sugar & milk in the room. Views are also beautiful. Such a lovely quiet, relaxing location. Would love to see it in the summer! The only down side was the power of the shower but that's not a major issue for me.”

“Great service, wonderful restaurants and bars, excellent location, and nice rooms. We stayed for a few nights and took advantage of all the restaurants and bars and we're very pleased. The staff is very professional and well presented. The room.we had was large and comfortable if a bit garish with the English Baroque decor. The bathroom was amazing - large, warm, and full of amenities. The breakfast in the Great Room restaurant was very nice. Dinner in Bert's Jazz Bar was great. Afternoon tea on our last day was our first proper English tea and, to our surprise, we were quite full at the end. The staff there were particularly warm and friendly and always met every need with a positive attitude. You may want to ask for a room away from Skipper Street as there is an outdoor bar that plays music well into the wee hours.”

“I have stayed here many times and it has always been great. For the price you pay and the proximity to the city centre it’s hard to beat. Loving the added addition of the bar/restaurant downstairs. Staff are super friendly and helpful. will definitely return”

“We got married on October 18, 2025. When we first viewed the venue in 2024, the viewing was host by Kirsty who was extremely professional and knowledgable. Which is part of why we wanted to put our trust in Clandeboye. Since booking the venue, every single member of the wedding team was been quick to respond to our many questions and always helpful. Whether it was Lorraine, Ian, Mai, Gia, or someone else. In particular, they were excellent in helping with guest allergies and concerns, immediately reducing our stress levels. Graham (our MC) and the team absolutely smashed it out of the park on the day. Graham made sure to introduce himself the night before the wedding and was extremely professional but approachable on the day itself. He even considered the little touches like keeping us canapés to the side to ensure we ate and checking in with us regularly (without being on top of us all day). When there were issues, he discretely dealt with them on our behalf and nothing felt like too much. Our guests lauded the serving team at dinner and the food, saying it’s one of the best wedding meals they’ve had. The team were prompt, polite and (from what we seen) the service was seamless. The clandeboye truly was our dream wedding venue and we couldn’t recommend them enough.”

“We spend the weekend at the Culloden. The beautiful energy starts when you enter, the garden is beautiful, looked after with great care, and lovely statues that make a difference. The Hotel itself it's stunning, piano during lunch, before dinner... we have dinner at the Vespers restaurant, lovely, good food, staff attentive and kind. After dinner if you book a table at the bar, is a nice vibe to enjoy a good live music. We went to the gym and I can say it's a really really nice gym, well equipped, the pool , sauna and all the staff around there are kind. I truly recommend the experience there.”

“Just stayed here for two nights while working in the Belfast area and had a fabulous stay, Susie the duty manager was wonderful, so helpful and cheerful and nothing was too much trouble, I wish all premiere inns had a susie. the food both nights in the restaurant was great, nicely cooked and well presented however the breakfast was AMAZING!!!!!, I've stayed in hundreds of premiere inns and the breakfast here was the best I've ever had, if I'm working in the Belfast area I would without hesitation stay here. Well done premiere inn and well done Susie”

“I would come back to Belfast just to stay at the Barge. Beautiful spot on the water. Quiet, and yet everything is close by. Home away from home. We loved our stay.”

“Great location easy to find , easy to get to ferry terminal.”

“Amazing hospitality, very comfortable room, close to all amenities and more than anything else, a team that goes out of their way to help you and make you feel at home. The phrase 'going above and beyond' doesn't do justice to their efforts. Highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to Belfast.”

“Lovely venue for a wedding. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The location is perfect for those travelling in from the airport. Stunning inside. Food was delicious and rooms felt like a touch of luxury”

“Enjoyed the Friday night steak deal for 2, including bottle of wine, bed and breakfast. Food was delicious and catered brilliantly for coeliac. The choices at breakfast were great and staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. There was entertainment on too which really sealed the deal for us. Definitely recommend.”

“I enjoyed my stay overall. The staff was so nice especially the young guy with the long hair, forgot his name. The location is great and the bed was really comfortable! I think the bathroom needs a bit of an upgrade. But I would for sure recommend this hotel. Great for eating and drinking as well.”

“The employees at the reception were amazing. We had big rooms with a few little things that need repair, but overall still fine. The beds were super comfortable, we slept better than at home. Big bathrooms. Very nice breakfast. We would totally come here again.”

“I had a fantastic experience at Europa Hotel. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect throughout my stay. The location was also ideal—close to restaurants, public transport, and key attractions. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was calm and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!”

“Beautiful hotel in heart of Belfast. Everything is in close proximity by foot - no need for car. Staff is very nice and welcoming and we felt very nice and welcomed there. Room was amazing and clean, very quiet with AC and mini fridge., comfy bed, big TV with Netflix and big shower. We also had a breakfast- money well spent. Amazing service, food was amazing. One of the best breakfast we had in a hotel. Highly recommend if staying in Belfast”

“My Father and I recently did a Gig at the Ivanhoe and the service could not have been better. All the staff were very attentive to us all night my Father was unwell and the bartender in the function room took the time to get him some honey and a hot drink to help his throat whilst he sang. The Receptionist was incredibly helpful, assisting us in getting a table booked as initially we weren't to be eating in the restaurant however she happily helped us get a table and the food could not have been nicer! It is not the first time we have attended the Hotel and It certainly won't be the last either. To the all staff working that evening 6/09/25 thankyou for your help I cannot extend my gratitude enough!”

“Quick stop for a bit of lunch at Standing Stones on our way to Newry on Saturday afternoon. The food was delicious and it was severd up fairly quickly. The staff were first class, very friendly and helpful oh and the Guinness was top notch!! See you again soon, folks!”

“Myself and my husband decided to stay here for our 1 year anniversary and it did not disappoint. The spa is absolutely amazing and not too over crowded, the food was fantastic. The service from all the staff from we checked in to we left was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the room was extremely warm, however there was a fan provided. But overall it was amazing and we will definitely return.”

“Great hotel! Lovely location. Always a comfy stay in a PI! Extra shout out to the team here for returning items to us we had left behind belonging to our baby. Would recommend and will return again in future.”

“Rooms are small, but very comfortable and they had everything we needed. We stayed two nights. There is a free hour of street parking, and free from 5pm to 8am, so we parked on the street after 4pm and left before 9am. The location is wonderful. From the front door you can see Carrickfergus Castle - a block away. Food and service were very good. It's old world charm was especially felt in the cozy lobby and the nautical themed restaurant.”

“I have just returned from a three night stay at Corr's Corner Hotel. It is a wee bit out of Belfast but it is on a bus route. The Hotel itself is lovely, nice and traditional inside. My room was great and so was the shower. I had an evening meal in the lounge as the restaurant was fully booked. I also enjoyed the breakfast which was help yourself and you were served tea and toast should you wish. I was fortunate friends came to pick me up but I did use the bus (153) into Belfast. I found the people very friendly and a lovely place to stay. Highly recommended.”

“fantastic accommodation, Stephen that booked us in was so friendly and helpful which made our stay even more enjoyable. Room was immaculate with harbour views,short walk to cafes pubs etc. Definitely would recommend anyone to stay here”

“Very nice little place on a quiet residential street about a mile and a half from the city centre. Plenty of shops nearby including a couple of large supermarkets, it's near a park and in easy reach of Yorkgate train station and local buses. Great value for money.”

“Loved the personality of all the staff, very friendly and helpful. Place was spotless. Food was fabulous.”

“Excellent place. Dog friendly ... The menu is quite large and good. Lots of attractive options. I would say prices are above average, but I think it is really worth it. The backyard is fantastic for sunny days. We'll definitely go again!”

“Spent 4 nights here the room was lovely and staff were amazing breakfast was included in the price and it was very nice we will be back”

“Visited for 1 night, wished I'd stayed a bit longer on trip! I was warned in advance room was above a bar, was not an issue as was attending a concert and by the time I got back to the hotel, all the noise of the evening had gone. Ideal location for anyone visiting Ulster Hall, was a 10 minute walk. Room was huge! Beds were huge the bathroom was huge! Very spacious room. Big opening windows and thick blackout curtains. Shower was excellent - had a big overhead rainfall head as well as detachable hose. Temperature and pressure were great. Variety of toiletries provided along with towels, hairdryer and iron and ironing board if you like that kind of thing. Check-in was self check in via a touch screen, easy to work and then a free beer as a reward! There is no lift in the building, my room was 3 flights up, so not suitable if not able to use stairs. Excellent, can't fault and would stay again and recommend.”
