Simple and basic accommodation. Great food in the bar, and really great staff. Kat, particularly, looked after us amazingly (sorry I forgot to leave a proper tip in my hungover state). Location is great, about 3 minute walk to Sean’s bar and the castle. Almost as close to the town centre. Clean towels provided for the room, and refreshed during our stay. We will probably stay here again on our next visit. There’s a car park a few minutes walk away which charges €3 a day and free overnight. We used it with no problems.

The shower was a little weak. Bathroom could’ve done with a bit of a general refresh but it was clean and functional.

Good location and easy access to local bars and restaurants by foot.

Cosy stay with excellent food. Fish & chip dinner was beautiful with lightly battered cod and home made chips. Menu was good with some nice traditional Irish food dishes. Breakfast the next morning was lovely. A generous breakfast, full Irish and eggs benedict for us and all was very tasty and set us up for the day. We will be back soon.

Great location downtown Athlone, handy for eating out and seeing the beautiful Shannon. The premises was welcoming and very typical Irish pub atmosphere. The rooms were basic but spotless, ideal for a group or big family needing a short and convenient stay.

Nothing to dislike, it is very good value and does not advertise as a high end or boutique type accommodation - meets basic needs of clean service and nice hot water.

Staff was very nice, even ended up having drinks there one night! Large rooms, easy to use shower. Love that check-in was in a large book!! Close to everything we wanted to see on both sides of the river. Easily walkable.

Unfortunately no lift and many stairs - carry only what you need. No nearby parking lot, the street parking machine was broken and hard to find a spot to even unload, but that seems to be the case in Ireland. Hot water wasn't on in the morning but staff quickly turned it on once notified.

The staff were so helpful. Helped me with booking bus tickets and taxis. The food was really nice and we had 2 reasonably priced meals there which were delicious. (Gluten free toasted sandwich was the nicest I’ve had). The staff seem happy in their work and created a wonderful atmosphere.

I know a kettle in the bedroom was not promised on the website but I really did miss having a cup of tea first thing in the morning or having the freedom to make myself one any other time.

Nice location, Athlone is easy to reach by train and it's possible to take a river boat trip from there. The pub is beautiful, and the food was really good. Staff was nice, and the room was just what you need for a one night stay.

Nothing negative to signal. Maybe some inconvenience is that when the pub is closed, even in the early morning, there is no attending stuff (e.g. no way to get an early breakfast, and almost everything in town is closed until 9am). Considering that you are sleeping in rooms above a pub, that looks acceptable, though. In previous reviews I read complaints about noise, but for us the room was quiet and we slept well.
