On arrival on a Saturday and we were a little worried about being over the top of a restaurant as the restaurant was busy and a bit noisy but we needn't have worried as the restaurant shut by 7pm each eve. The suite was overall a descent size, the living area was spacious and nicely furnished. The staff were all really friendly and helpful and not a bad word to say about them. Breakfast was tasty and quick and my son loved the fresh waffles & pancakes. We ate in both the Pizzeria and the Restaurant some evenings and found the food very good and service great and so along with the lovely bakery there is no shortage of great food. Its rare to find a 2 bed suite with breakfast included and it suited us well. There isn't a huge amount to do in Athenry itself but its well served with supermarkets, a few other restaurants (you do need to check when they are open) and the odd shop. The wall and ruins are an interesting walk around and its well positioned to travel to lots of lovely spots.

Just small niggles but the bathroom is a bit snug to say the least, one of the inner handles was broken on the shower door and the ceiling could do with some attention as the paint was peeling over the shower. The shower could do with a shelf or something to put your bottles on. Some better/thicker pillows and maybe a thinner duvet for the time of year.

Staff welcoming and worked hard to ensure guests were looked after. Good sized room and bathroom all freshly decorated and comfortable. As a group of three we appreciated getting a triple room which are not always available. Great to have choices of good places to eat of an evening on our doorstep - pizzeria, restaurant and Indian. Excellent bakery too below property. Great choice for breakfast in the morning. Loved the three pieces of cake in the room when we arrived. :)

Our room was directly above the pizzeria and we did hear some noise from it until it closed. A little awkward for three of us to only have one key to get access to the property where our room was. Very tight entrance to car park but good to have if.

We arrived late in the night, there were plenty of places to park the car, all details were provided on how to check in and even some welcome brownies which were delicious! The rooms were spotless and beds were very comfortable and a great nights sleep were had by us both. A selection of breakfasts were available just across the road at their restaurant which were cooked beautiful and arrived quick! All staff that we came across (cleaning and serving and booking) were welcoming, friendly and chatty! Nothing was ever to much to ask. Would highly recommended a stay at the Old Barracks! Thank you all for such a lovely and memorable stay! 💚

Nothing it was all perfect

- Good location in a small town, very close to Galway. - Free bottles of water, and a welcome snack upon arrival. - Beds were comfortable, and duvet were warm. - Although narrow to enter, free parking available for guests. - Breakfast included in the price (1 dish and 1 drink to choose from several options, including vegetarian ones). - "Do not disturb" sign available. - Water boiler, coffee and tea available for guests.

- Tight check-in times, and pushy about arrival time, even within check-in hours. - No small desk available in the room. It'd have been nice instead of a extra single bed. - Rooms cannot be locked. - Heating system turns off at night till the morning, so it can get a bit chilly, especially during this time of the year. - There's a carpet at the foot of the bed, which does not seem to be very clean.

The room was lovely and modern, very spacious for four people. The bathroom was nice and equipped with plenty of towels for our group. There was lovely complementary snacks and water left for us on our arrival which was very well received by the group. Beds were lovely and comfortable. Breakfast is included and it was one of the nicest breakfast I’ve ever had! Very high quality food, would definitely come back if I was in the area

Our room was situated at the front of the building which is on a street, there was a bit of noise on the street in the morning but that cannot be helped by the hosts!

Everything. The whole apartment was stunning. Photos don’t do it justice. We stayed in the abbey suite. Amazing wooden flooring, good spacious well laid out property. Beds are the most comfortable I’ve every slept in while travelling. Friendly staff, was met and helped in the road by Scott as he saw us making our way round. Food was amazing, everything from the breakfast, the cakes and the pizza in their sister restaurant. Well placed in small village, easy to get to Galway. Lovely medieval walks with well preserved sites.

Nothing

They thought of everything. It's a small town with not much to do and not many restaurants. The Lodge provided a walkable map of the various castle ruins and they have a full service restaurant with breakfast included in your stay. There is parking behind the building and TVs in the room. The location is close to Galway but without the city prices.

There is no front desk. They handled it fine, though, because anyone at their restaurant across the street can help you, and they tell you that when you arrive. They saw us arrive almost immediately. But, what if we needed something after the restaurant closed? Thankfully, we didn't and everything was perfect.

Elegant apartment named abbey row right above the main restaurant. Rooms were nice, living room was very comfortable and kitchen was fully equipped. Since we had our preschooler and toddler we needed the extra space and a kitchen and it was perfect. Staff was exceptional. Check in and check out were as easy as it gets, just walk into the restaurant and they give you the key and drop it off when you leave. The food was also delicious. We also loved athenry as our base to visit the surrounding areas

Wi-Fi was pretty bad during our three day stay. And did not like the trash bag that was left in front of our door between second and third day.

First and foremost, the hospitality. Scott and Aideen, in particular, were great, but everyone seemed just as kind and helpful--great ambassadors of Ireland. The place was clean and spacious. My three children and I felt right at home. And then there was the food. We ended up eating four of six meals at our place--the pizza restaurant was delicious, every order, and the breakfast was easily the best included breakfast we have had for the last two years. Plain and simple, you cannot beat the value of this booking.

You're a train-ride away from Galway (15 minutes or so), but only a three-minute walk from the train station. In truth, Athenry was a nice break from the tourist center. I don't know differently, but I suspect this location might be preferable.

We absolutely loved our stay in Athenry. The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much to ask. The pizzeria downstairs offers delicious food (not necessarily pizza) and we were seated in a separated nook for our breakfast, which was ideal for our big group. Beds were very comfortable and the shower was great. I’d recommend this property to anyone as Athenry is really worth a visit too.

If I have to mention anything, I’d say that the towels didn’t feel that clean and the floor could be swiped a bit better, but these are just details.
