5.0 / 10.0
Location was very good with easy access to a large car park . Bed was comfortable and clean, bathroom was clean.
The noise next door woke me at 3.15am. Had to go out and bang on their door. They eventually quitened down. But walls must be quite thin.
Carpet was very stained and old looking. A lotto damage on walls.

Staff were wonderful
Carpet on the stairs needs a clean. And a hole in the wall of the bedroom needs repairing.

Perfect for my trip. Easy to find, great location, comfy bed, great shower, nice big room, clean sheets, Wifi and privacy. Added bonus its above the Chinese restaurant, so I could grab some dinner if i didn't want to go out again. The staff were around if I needed them. Breakfast can be booked but I didn't bother. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the accommodation.

5.0 / 10.0
The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the storage adequate. It's fairly central, especially to the train station which is pretty much next door. The staff were friendly. The people in the restaurant downstairs were helpful and friendly, and I did have a couple of nice take-outs from them. The wifi worked very well.
I was expecting a work desk in the room, just a small one would have done. There was an armchair, which was useful. I only met one member of staff as the desk was usually deserted, and he was pleasant enough and told me if he found a desk he would get one to me. He did mention there was a ledge under the TV, and while this is true, the armchair is nowhere near tall enough to reach it and do anything. I forgot to mention to him the blind - I closed it when I arrived as it was after dark, but then I couldn't figure out how to open it again thereafter. The cord seems not to attach to anything! The room was generally clean enough, though there was a mark on the duvet of the single bed (which I didn't use), and there was a small sock behind the door in the bathroom, suggesting that it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly, though it wasn't filthy in there or anything, it was acceptably clean. The shower took some time to warm up, but at least it did, and the stream was slightly erratic. Also, though I closed the shower doors as much as I could, it all leaked puddles onto the bathroom floor.
All of these were perhaps first-world problems - overall, I had a pleasant enough stay - but it was not cheap, being pricier or almost as pricey as some of the major hotels in the area, and I expect to have all the amenities in place and working when I am paying 120+ Euros a night, especially as that did not include breakfast.
I would have addressed this further in person, but apart from the one person I saw and asked about the desk, no-one else was at reception on any of the other occasions I walked past it.

Close to centre. Clean. Cheap
Very basic facilities. It’s a budget premises but even a prison cell has a glass or a cup in it. No staff on premises. Mattress uncomfortable.
5.0 / 10.0
Its cheap, quiet and the rooms are spacious. Beds are fine. Sheets clean. Bathrooms were clean. There is nothing extra other than the room you paid for.
The carpets in the hallways are filthy. The hot water was inconsistent and would be cold most of the time.
3.0 / 10.0
Very poor place not even a bottle of water in the rooms or a cup of coffee/tea. The beds to soft, you sink right down into them. The only thing going for it is location but only stay if you can’t get somewhere else.

I liked the peace, quiet and tranquility of the place, and its proximity to the train and bus stations.
1.0 / 10.0
The only positive about this property is its location — close to the train station and a short walk to town. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing.
The room was not clean: there were used tissues under the beds, stained curtains, dirty walls, gum/sticker residue on light switches, and the shower and bathroom cabinet had visible grime and toothpaste left from previous guests. No soap was provided, just three tiny bottles of body wash. The description promised slippers and satellite TV, but neither were provided. My so-called “city view” overlooked a flat roof littered with old shoes.
The bed was in terrible condition with no support left in the springs, making it extremely uncomfortable. The “desk” was just a shelf. Water was coming through the wall, and the general standard of cleanliness and upkeep was poor.
From a service perspective, check-in was confusing. Keys had to be collected from the restaurant next door with no proper explanation or welcome. On checkout, no one was at reception. There is a lift only to the first floor — I had to carry a 20kg suitcase up to the second floor while five months pregnant, which I would have appreciated being told beforehand.
For the price I paid — the same as a 4-star Dublin city hotel — the standard was shockingly low. This property should be classed as a hostel, not a guest house or B&B, and certainly not 3 stars. It is poorly run, dirty, uncomfortable, and far below the standard implied by Fáilte Ireland or Booking.com.
I travel frequently for work, and this is one of the worst places I’ve stayed. I wanted to change hotels immediately on arrival, but with nothing else available in Athlone, I was stuck for two miserable nights.

Very clean, very central regarding the town and the beds were lovely quality.
Shower not fitted to wall properly and was nearly falling off, no service for getting emergency supplies like bottled water or sanitary products like a vending machine and the key cards for entry to front door and rooms repeatedly not working over only a 2 day stay.

10.0 / 10.0
The room was very clean, modern shower, good wifi, sockets and some space for a laptop. Tea/coffee making facilities were provided when asked for along with bottled water. The hotel is literally just round the corner from the station/bus depot. I arrived late but the people in the adjacent restaurant/takeaway were very accommodating. I was even able to get a meal as they were open until 11pm. If I ever visit Athlone again I will definitely stay there again.
