Shamrock Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel."

Sheraton Athlone Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, very clean and affordable"

Dooly's Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place was situated right in the middle of everything! It was great to explore the area! The staff at the restaurant/bar were absolutely 💯 awesome! The rooms do get hot, fan is in the closet. I thought the pillows were hard but husband liked them. Staff were top notch!"

Hugh Lynch's Self Catering Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms and the hallways have all new flooring and new clothing cupboards. Bed and bedding were comfortable, with a hair dryer available upon request. The kitchen are is fantastic and fully equipped with two stoves, 5 fridges, microwave toaster etc. The front staff were friendly and responsive. I arrived quite early to drop my luggage however they were able to get me into my room, which was fantastic. I would stay here again without question. Location was excellent as well. My only recommendation would be for a larger sign to be placed on the building. Very small sign near the door and it directs you to the back. It directs for you to call them, however I had my primary number turned off to avoid high fees, however I emailed them and she was at the door within 5 minutes! Well worth the stay and I would go back."
