Stay here! (Not Galway)
It was amazing! Scott was super helpful and upgraded us (thank you), and suggested places for us to visit. Darragh too, he was welcoming and helped bring up our luggage. It's only a short walk to the train station and a 20 minute train ride to Galway. Otherwise, free parking. Plus, we drove to Dublin easily to the airport. We ate at the cafe and restaurant and all had high quality, excellent choice of food, with excellent table service. We had a good walk around Athenry too, what an historical place! Definitely recommend staying here, rather than in Galway.

This was a nice room for a short stop off on our trip. The room was a little small so the price was comparatively a little high, however you had the covenience of being within walking distance of everything as you are in the middle of the township.

Enjoyable Stay
We loved this place. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. We chose it as a home base to explore the Galway area. We only graded down to a 4 because of the challenging parking situation (very narrow entry alley and the limited number of parking spots) and no elevator (we had a lot of luggage amongst the 5 of us). The rooms were very comfortable, bathrooms very updated and modern. Breakfast across the way at their affiliated restaurant was outstanding. Be aware they do not open for breakfast until 8:30, if you have an early appointment. The pizza restaurant (also affiliated, we think) was also exceptional after a long day of exploring.

Great Place and Friendly Folks
The check in experience was exceptional. After contacting the “front desk”, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The proprietor acted like we were a part of the family. The room was on the second level and two narrow stairs lead up the a very comfortable room. The restaurant staff recommended a pub for an after dinner pint. A hot breakfast was included with our stay. A quaint little town.

Quick Stop
We were only in Athenry for one night and left after breakfast, so I can’t speak much about the surrounding area. The Old Barracks Lodge was charming though and the food was delicious. We ate dinner at the pizza place upon arrival and enjoyed a delicious breakfast before leaving. Pastries from the bakery were left at our bedside, which was a sweet touch! The room was clean and comfortable. I’d stay here again for sure.
