Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Beds were comfortable and clean.
Shower was plugged with hair. I had to clean to stop from over flowing.
Absolutely atrocious and a complete misrepresentation . The “Gastro bar” is permanently closed- the whole reason why we booked was because it was on top of a pub/ restaurant.
Everything- from the price for an absolute dump of a place- dirty, damp, three flights of stairs to get to the room, leaky roof in the shower, broken toilet , never saw any staff. No TV, this room was tired and desperate- a place where you’d go to die or feel like you should once you get there. Pretty sure there was black mold in the shower and a cum stain on the pillow.
The comforter was fluffy
The gastro pub closed in August 3 days after I booked. The only way to get in was to call a number which when coming from America is a pain. When you get the code for the keys you discover the entrance door is broken and doesn't lock. You call the number back and you get told don't worry about it we are near the garda office. The lock will not be fixed until Monday and we leave on Sunday.The doorway to the room is pitch black until you get to the door. The room is just three beds with nightstands in-between. The closest door was broken and when we tried to open it it fell off. The bathroom floor has red stains all over it. The one window offers no air flow. Overall this is a cheap flop house disguised as a B&B.
The property manager was very friendly. I appreciated the bottles of water left for us.
The price for the room was not at all in line with the accommodations provided. For example, I booked. Queen bed room at Home2 Suites by Hilton in Dublin City Centre for €135.00. I paid Bailey’s €172.50. The beds were very hard. And not to the fault of the owner but the pub around the corner had extremely loud music and people thru the early morning hours.
Location was perfect. A block off the river and walking distance to everything. We even found free off street parking.
Couldn’t access the property- no email communication Did not include access information in booking details Had to find alternative accommodation for the night
Couldn’t access Information was insufficient to access rooms Pub closed and not advertised as such
Location. Was the only good thing about this place .
The noise of the water heating all night. No TV in the room . The only good thing it had going for it was it was clean . But definitely not worth 93 euro.
No complaints Slept well . Breakfast downstairs in the bar was tasty.
Location is great, centre of town.
Pub had closed down on the 20th of August, no breakfast. 1 cup in the room, scruffy, no milk, no coffee, noisy, beds were sloped, door to the hallway has a lock but it didn't work - could easily just push it open!
Nada, es un engaño
El baño roto, arañas en los techos, colchones de muelles.
L'accueil L'emplacement
Douche inutilisable car aucun moyen de règler la température.
It was in a great position and easy walking to all attractions.
The Bar and Bistro had closed a week prior to our arrival, which was very disappointing. The room was very basic with only a bed and a very small bathroom. A kettle would have been very helpful.
Nothing we arrived to a premises closure notice on arrival
We were given a room with no working shower and visible stains on the pillows and towels like the room had not been cleaned or linen changed
Ubicación
Escaleras hasta habitaciones. Qué ese mismo día cerraban definitivamente el bar y no avisaron.
No toilet paper and no towels. Cleaning lady tried to make us leave before check out time
Bathroom was filthy stayed in room five had to leave the next morning to get breakfast elsewhere the bar was closed and had no tea or coffee facilities
La ubicación
Mucho ruido y no estaba muy limpio
I'm sorry to have to leave a negative review for this accommodation. The room was clean, the location was excellent, and the bed was comfortable. But the real problem during the night we spent there was a constant, loud beeping sound coming from outside the rooms. It never stopped; it felt like Chinese water torture. Sleeping was impossible. When we stayed there, the pub was closed, so perhaps when it is open, the beeping is less noticeable and gets drowned out by the pub noise. At 4 a.m., I even went outside the room to try to figure out what it was. If I had understood where it was coming from, I would have smashed it with a stick. Maybe it was a fire door or something, I really don't know, but it's absolutely unbelievable that a house with this kind of problem can be rented out. It was genuinely unbearable. Such a shame.
Location very good
Na
The pub was closed permanently & no one could be reached at the posted number for the inn. We had to book alternative lodging. I expect a full refund
They were closed
Super emplacement dans le centre d'Athlone, le personnel est très sympa et on peut profiter du pub juste en dessous. La chambre est grande et lumineuse.
Très mauvaise insolation phonique, le lit un peu dur. La salle de bains pas très propre, a sans doute connu des jours meilleurs, il y avait un problème avec la pression de la douche.
Very central and straight across from the police station.
Constant beeping all through the night. Shame the pub underneath was permanently closed
Good location, reasonable price
Collecting the keys
La proximité avec le centre de la ville. Le restaurant très sombre n'invite pas à commander un menu.
Pas d'eau chaude à la douche qui coule à petites gouttes.
Struttura pulita
La doccia non funzionava, però hanno provveduto ad un rimborso parziale
Returning back to get food and signs place closed permanently.
Perfect for what I needed, young lad who helped me check in was helpful. Good comfy bed, spacious ensuite bathroom.
Water pressure in shower was an issue.
Posizione stop.
Sporco e piccolissimo. Sopra al pub quindi confusione fino a tardi
Looking for tea and tiny biscuits
Location
Unbelievably uncomfortable mattress. No window or extractor fan in toilet. Flies everywhere. Few tea bags left in "the wardrobe " no cup no spoon no milk. No TV. For a couple of hundred euros this could all be rectified. Brown stains on bedclothes. Would never go back p
Emplacement idéal Rapport qualité-prix est un plus
Rien en particulier
The staff were very helpful and pleasant, nice bunch of lads
Very noisy in the room from people outside handling dishes and opposite a chapel which chimes on the hour every hour
L'eau de la douche était froide. La porte claqué et était totalement perméable au bruit et à la lumière.
Proper
Luidruchtig aan de straatkant
L'emplacement. La gentillesse de la personne qui nous a accueillie.
Douche très vétuste.
Pas grand chose, nous avons été bien reçu.
Première chose : l’état de la salle de bain. Le carrelage est cassé. Fuite au robinet et à la chasse d’eau. Pas d’eau chaude. La douche n’est pas propre. Qu’une seule serviette pour quatre personnes. Deuxièmement : un trou dans le parquet, araignées et toiles d’araignées. Un faux jour au dessus de la porte, il manque un mur. Porte de la chambre en mauvaise état (au niveau de la serrure). Pas d’équipements à disposition (pas de télé, pas de wifi, rien) Globalement il y a un manque de propreté dans cet établissement. Le prix semblait correcte, mais compte tenu de tous ces default, est trop cher.
Bra centralt läge.
Sängen var väldigt hård. Det var väldigt lyhört och gatans ljud från stora bilar utanför hördes lätt in. Badrummet hade hål i fodret.
Location
The shower was awful, it wouldn't produce more then a dribble of water.
Lokatie oké
De badkamer was slecht, de douche deed het nauwelijks. Het linnengoed was niet schoon.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming, location was good.
Room was very basic with no tv and no kettle, batroom was tiny and bed was uncomfortable. Lots of noise from bar/kitchen at closing time with doors being opened & closed.
Great staff, accommodated early check in
Room was very unclean, facilities poor, no proper window
Staff were lovely and the food was great
Room was very basic, and shower was not working 😕 no TV, no kettle for tea or coffee,
Excellent price for what I needed, will stay again if priced similarly. Easy check-in and checkout too

Pulizia
La doccia non funzionava, non c'era acqua. Mentre dal lavandino usciva perfettamente. Inammissibile!!!!
Super Lage
Dusche hatte leider zu wenig Druck
Food was amazing and staff was brilliant and very friendly great location
Carpet was smelly on stairs and rooms was small and not big no water or anything in the room to drink no iron bathroom shower had no pressure just really needs to be revamped
Great location
Too many stairs
Location is very close to the old centre of the town. Room was clean and tidy but is minimalist. Bed is comfortable and facilities are clean. Staff in bar friendly and helpful. Food available in the bar at extra cost, food is good,
No tea making facilities. not even a glass for water. Considerable road noise, Straight steep stairs, in no way suitable for elderly people carrying suit cases.
Location
Water pressure poor
Great location and helpful staff!
Location. The meal we had was outstanding.
The bedroom and bathroom could use a remodel or upgrade.
Whole atmosphere of the place and the staff were so helpful and friendly. And generous; paid for our car park. Great meals in the pub. Beautiful cottage pie. So handy to the town, and Sean's Bar - the oldest pub in Ireland
Leaving
The people were very kind and taught us about some of the history of the area.
The rooms are dated. But one of the owners shared that the rooms are being renovated starting next week!!!
All good
All good
Bekväma sängar, bra lokalisering.
Lyhört och väldigt enkel standard.
Central location. Comfortable bed, breakfast and daytime/evening meals available in pub.
Central location and easy access to Seans Bar (Oldest pub in Ireland)
Wanted to stay longer but time poor
Nothing didn't stay was terrible everything was filthy staircases handrails stinking left in a hurry
Was booking.com showing it on your site ok do not recommend the place to anyone take it of booking.com bar up to bedroom terrible that's why we stayed in the Shearton
The room was very basic, just beds and a bathroom. There was no lift which I was aware of but the stairs was narrow and steep so not suitable for elderly or unstable person.
If you just want to sleep in a bed then it was fine. The room was tiny and very basic. However the beds were comfortable.
La posizione, il pub sotto non era male, lo staff carino e accogliente
Non c'è la colazione, il che rende un po' costoso il soggiorno per il servizio proposto
Very central location and reasonably priced.
Noisy on street room with neighbouring alarm ringing from 3am.
Excellent location very friendly staff and great room!
Staff in the bar were excellent. Food was really good. Great location.
Bedroom was really basic but clean but the bed was very uncomfortable. No plug in the bathroom and toilet seat broken.
I was staying down for an all day event. I left my bag at lunchtime as my room wasn't ready so they told me that it was fine and to just come back later. I was out for the day and when I came back that night, around 1, the property was closed. While understanding it was late, I assumed that they would call me to let me know I needed to collect keys. I spent the night wandering the streets as nobody answered my calls and I had nowhere to go. Also, nobody contacted in the morning to even apologise. Once again, I understand that it was my responsibility to be there to check in but no information was given to me to tell me that they were closing. Also, the fact that they never even contacted me afterwards in my eyes is very poor form.
Location
Nothing
friendly staff and a great location.
the room is clearly not meant for accommodation and feels more like a technical/storage room. There are no photos of this “room” on Booking, and now it’s obvious why. The room is located somewhere between the pub and the beer garden, so you can hear absolutely everything until midnight. Despite being advertised as non-smoking, cigarette smoke constantly comes into the room. The window is tiny, so proper ventilation is impossible. There is also a boiler/heating technical area inside the room itself. The mattresses are completely worn out, you can feel the springs, and one mattress was so uneven that I kept rolling to one side during the night. Overall, it feels like sleeping in a storage room rather than a hotel room. Humanity invented hotels, yet somehow people still rent out closets next to beer and boilers.
