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!

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
