“Great location - room only ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2010

Stayed here as 2 adults, and 2 kids.
Staff were very good. Price seemed ok at the time, but I later found out was matched by full service hotels nearby.
Great location, tight parking when full.
I stayed in the room over the breakfast room, at the front of the house. I would not recommend same. Very small, but the main problem was the windows would not shut/seal fully. This was not a problem during the day, but between 2am-4am, there was lots of activity/noise coming out of nearby pubs, and while a normal double glazed window would have kept the noise out, these did not.
Another family, paying the same price, stayed in the linked apartments, which were huge, with 2-3 rooms, leather furniture/large TV's, washing machine etc. A much better offer!
However, and strangely, it had no cups/tea bags/coffee etc., despite having a kettle!

Maureen Flynn, Owner at Arch House B&B and Apartments, responded to this review

Dear Dublinlocal,
Thank you for your review.
I am dissappointed to learn that you didn't enjoy your stay with us.
Our rooms offer a Double and Single Bed only and are adequate for 2 Adults and 1 Child or 3 Adults. In your situation you wished to accommodate a fourth person and in order to do this we have to add a camp bed and this is advised at the time of booking.
All our windows are double glazed and we don't usually encounter noise from the street. I apologise for the disturbance you encountered due to the seal being broken, we strive to keep on top of maintenance and feedback such as yours is invaluable to us.
I was amazed to read that a family accommodated in our Apartments were paying the same rate as yourselves as no comparison can be made between the space & facilities offered by both options. Having checked my Diary with great attention I have not found this situation, I am puzzled by this as indeed I am about your comment about the Hotel nearby charging the same price. There are three Hotels in Athlone Town Centre and I am very aware of the rates quoted by each of them as we work closely together.
However if you and your family have reason to visit Athlone again please contact me. If your preference is for our Apartments, I will be happy to accommodate you.

Kindest Regards,

Maureen Flynn
Owner/Manager

“This was a great town centre B & B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

We found Archhouse B & B easily in Athlone, and Maureen welcomed us warmly and efficiently. Our camper fitted into the carpark, and Mohammed kindly let us park our bikes in the house next door. Breakfast was always a great Irish feast, and our beds were made and towels changed daily. Mohammed seemed to be on duty 24/7, and even brought our champagne up to our room from his fridge, for us to celebrate competing in the European Triathlon. Nothing was too much trouble.

“A fantastic find!”

We made an unplanned trip to Athlone during our Irish getaway and stayed at the Arch House. What a pleasant find in a quaint Irish city. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff more than courteous and helpful! Would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling through Athlone! Oh and the full Irish breakfast was fantastic!

“Great location, Great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2010

Just came back from an overnight stay in Athlone, where we stayed in the Arch House B&B and had a fantastic stay. Maureeen, the owner, could not have been more helpful or courteous right from enquiry stage. Got a great deal on the price and she was so helpful in reccommending restaurants and bars in the area. Because this B&B is right in the centre of town, everything is within walking distance! will definitely be back

“Arch House - a great accommodation find”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2010

“I have just read the last Tripadvisor reviews for Arch House B&B. My husband and I both stayed at Arch House for two nights between Christmas and New Year, while the country had almost come to a standstill with severe frost and snow, the worst Ireland experienced for over fifty years. However, whilst Arch House experienced water problems, and it was inconvenient, they were not unique. The Hair Salon that I booked for a wash & blow dry (we were attending a local wedding too) did not have any hot water. In addition my sister and her husband were staying in the hotel where the wedding was taking place, they too had water problems.

However I found the proprietor and her staff to be very professional, sympathetic and pro-active. We did have water back by 11am each morning and I know the Owner accommodated guests with late breakfast and late checkouts so that they could have showers before they left. Our room was spotless, very warm and cosy with very pleasant décor. We had a lovely breakfast both mornings and found the private car parking (a great bonus in any town centre) to be very adequate and convenient. WE WILL BE BACK …..”
