"Great room, great lobby, could use more staff at busy times for check in. Super breakfast. Parking is a bit tight. The hotel location is superb if you are staying in Athlone for a leisure (i.e. pub visit) stay. Highly recommend."

Kinnitty Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful castle hotel. The rooms were beautiful and clean and the staff was so kind and welcoming. Breakfast was also extremely nice with a hot option (like pancakes/sausage) included. Only complaint is that there needs to be some pest control inside, as there were spiders in every corner of the ceiling as well as one running around by my toilet. The grounds were incredible and we wished we had more time to stay and hike around them as others seemed to know to plan. We hope to be back!"
