About this property

Welcome to Astala Lodge

Astala Lodge is a modern boutique hotel situated in a classic townhouse setting overlooking a waterfront park with views towards the harbour and marina. Accommodations include casual rooms, some of which offer sea views, and all guests benefit from complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi. Located on Queen’s Parade in Bangor, the property presents a smoke-free environment but does not provide air conditioning, a pool, or airport shuttle services.

Guests typically appreciate the hotel's location, just a short 4-minute walk from Bangor's main street, making local shops, cafes, and amenities easily accessible. The nearby Northern Ireland train station is within a 7-minute walk, facilitating convenient regional travel, while the A2 road is 1.4 miles away. Travel connections are bolstered by the proximity of Belfast City Airport (23 minutes by car) and Belfast International Airport (46 minutes by car).

The hotel is well-positioned for visitors interested in exploring key regional attractions. Titanic Belfast, which features interactive galleries about the famous ship, and Carrickfergus Castle, a notable historic fortress with a visitor center, are both within easy reach. The Ulster Folk Museum, with its period buildings and cultural events, offers additional nearby activities.

With a 4.4 rating based on 143 reviews, Astala Lodge is favored for its location and boutique style. Some guests note the absence of certain amenities such as air conditioning and a fitness center, suggesting it suits travelers seeking a straightforward and comfortable stay rather than extensive on-site facilities. The property welcomes families but does not accommodate pets.
