Would highly recommend Tara lodge and their friendly, hospitable staff
Pros:

Walked into the city easily.
Melly @ reception and Ricky@ breakfast were fabulous. They made our welcome to Ireland really enjoyable.

Cons:

There wasn’t a shelf in the shower to put stuff on but it was close enough I could put it on the side of the sink and still reach what I needed

The hotel is comfortable, good value and in an ideal location, close to the city centre district.
Pros:

The staff were super friendly and good fun to chat with. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and nicely presented. There was not an excessive amount of food for the Ulster Fry plate.

Cons:

The only thing that was bothersome was that I could hear the tv in the room adjacent to mine during the night.

Pros:

Friendly staff. Good breakfast, comfortable room. Great location

Cons:

Only think is to warn customers of the car park. Is quite small and tight with a couple of pillars. We don't have a big car so were fine but a big Family car might struggle

Great location, very friendly staff, superb breakfast
Pros:

Room clean and bed very comfortable, staff fantastic and exceptionally friendly. The breakfast was superb.
Secure parking onsite a real bonus.

Cons:

No air conditioning in the room, and so we left the window open, Unfortunately some other guests had an exceptionally loud argument in the car park (which our room overlooked) which went on and off throughout the night - the staff did try to intervene and it's not their fault clearly, but it did disrupt our sleep.

Pros:

Good location and the staff are fantastic. Very good breakfast and the rooms are clean and comfortable

Cons:

The only minor downside for us was that the room we were in, meant we had to go outside to get to it and, with the railway behind, it was noisy early in the morning if the windows were open.
There were umbrellas available at the doors, which was handy for going across to breakfast
