Tara Lodge 4 stars

Queens Quarter, Belfast

Located in the bohemian Queen’s Quarter of Belfast, a mere 10-minute walk from the city centre, Tara Lodge offers stylish, modern bedrooms with warm and genuine hospitality.

On offer is free secure on-site car parking (limited spaces on a first-come, first-served basis) and the fabulous location means you will be just a few minutes’ walk from many restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. Beautiful, quiet and clean hotel. 24-hour reception and pleasant people. Super breakfast, very tasty. Comfortable beds. Restaurants and shops 3 min walk, to the center 20 min. I recommend visiting pubs - Lavery's Bar, The Points, Crown Liquor Saloon !!!!! and Kelly's Cellars!!!!! These are experiences. I recommend accommodation, place and price.
