“Interesting”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2009

I hate to give a bad review, because Maureen was so helpful and pleasant (even when I had to call at 11PM and ask for a blow dryer!) However, this was our last night in Ireland after a two week stay in some great country B&Bs. We hadn't stayed near a city center and now I know it was for good reason. I was a little scared when I pulled up to the B&B because the area seemed to be on the "wrong side of the river." When we got there, a young girl said that Maureen thought we would be more comfortable in one of their "apartments" rather than a B&B room. We thought "Great!" until we walked a block away, turned through a parking lot, entered a locked gate next to a bet-booking place. I had my young daughter with me and I have to say I was very nervous about the area. The apartment was basic with lots of doors - kind of a strange layout, but very spacious! We walked down, across the river, to the village, which was very quaint, but not much going on. That's okay - we knew we would have to get up early to get to the airport. The noise of people yelling and traffic kind of kept me awake for a little while and I was kind of nervous about our car being left in the parking lot with lots of my Ireland purchases in the trunk, but I eventually was able to drift off to sleep.

The cooks did a fair job with breakfast - eggs again. Kind of wish we had other choices, but that's okay. We met Maureen, thanked her and left for the airport.

Although Maureen was fantastic, this really wasn't quite what we thought it would be and kind of disappointing for a last night in Ireland.

It's good if you want to be downtown, but not if you are used to country B&Bs.

“Wonderful weekend in Athlone”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2009

My partner and I booked in to Arch House Apartments for a two night stay and found it to be exceptional in every sense. The apartment was spacious with modern decor and facilities and although we were in the centre of town there was absolutely no invasive noise so we felt very relaxed after our visit. We were offered breakfast in Arch House B&B each morning and this was served by friendly smiling staff who obviously enjoyed their job. They were very knowledgable of the local area and as a result we had a fun and culture filled weekend and ate in fantastic restaurants. I didn't realise Athlone has so much to offer and I can't wait to go back.

“A well kept secret”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2008

By far one of Ireland's best kept secrets is the Arch House B&B in Athlone.As a business traveller,who spends at least 3 nights away from home,I've finally found somewhere that would tempt any discerning traveller to stay ! Centrally located in Athlone town,this gem has all the comforts of one's own house but all the extras of a family run hotel.It has the friendliest of staff ,with a genuine Cead Mile Failte' making it truely a home from home !

“top class B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2008

stayed here last weekend and i must say it was very clean and comfortable. Its town centre location was ideal and only 5 mins walk to all bars and restaurants. Pleasantly surprised being in town centre that it has its own secure carpark. They provided a very substantial Irish breakfast and Maureen, whom i think was the owner made an exceptional host.

My husband and myself stayed at arch house for four nights and could not fault it for the price we paid. The rooms were very clean and you got clean towels everyday, the shower was excellent. The breakfast was a choice of cereals fresh orange juice a full irish breakfast, toast and jams it was well cooked and the staff were helpful we would not hesitate to stay there again.
