Right in the center of lots of shops, pubs, restaurants. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The only drawback for our room is it was on a busy street so at times quite noisy. I would stay again.

Comfort and service in great location

What a great stay at Tara Lodge! The staff were friendly and responsive throughout. The room was comfortable and clean. Lots of delicious breakfast options (loved the omelette) in addition to the basics on the buffet. Best of all is the location in Queens Quarter — quieter than city center (and more charming) with lots of good restaurants and pubs nearby. Thank you!

The stay was good. The only bummer was when we were going to dinner and was going to ask the front desk her suggestions and they weren’t at the desk then we got back and she was there and told us the place we went we would’ve got a discount for staying there.

We traveled all of Ireland and stayed in fancy hotels but this one was the best. Very cozy and staff were extremely helpful. Best place to eat in all of Ireland was Darcy’s just a few minute walk from this place. Will definitely visit again when we go back.
