Athenry has limited hotel accommodations so book early! We had no choice but the Castle Gate for the two days we were in town. It is very basic. The desk is not staffed full time, so confirm when you should arrive. We happened to arrive while someone was still on the property. The rooms are clean, but very dated. The... More

The property is gigantic. Two nightclubs and large hall facilities, restaurants all in a seemingly small space. The rooms are big, a tad dated but well maintained. The owner / manager was lovely. The town has alot you can see in one day so one day is all you need in Athenry unless you using it as a hub to... More

Our trip around Ireland saw us stay two nights at this hotel. It was very basic, but exceptional value for money and therefore what you would expect for the price. Clean and tidy, rooms were comfortable and parking right outside. Great location and lovely, if not slightly eccentric staff. Good for a quick stop!

This is one of these odd hotels I have occasionally encountered. Firstly it is advertised as a budged Hotel and I found it on one of the hotel booking sites. I doubted the keen rate quoted on line so I rang the hotel as the website showed only one room left. It was as quoted €35 per night with breakfast... More

Receptionist very helpful in advising us where to go for a "real Irish" night out. We had a great time. Rooms adequate with good beds and tea and coffee making facilities. Close to all the historical places in Athenry.

If you need easy access to Galway, I strongly recommend you stay here. I was working on the oustskirts of Galway and it was quicker & easier to stay here than in the city. (and a whole lot cheaper too!!) Rooms are very clean, quiet and very friendly staff. There is a pub next door that serves simple but fresh... More

Just spent 2 nights in this lovely, old style Victorian b&b. I was pleasantly surprised by the room; large, well furnished, good quality mattress & everything you need was provided. Continental breakfast served by the lovely Babs who actually walked with me to the train station as I was late & didn't know where it was. She even ran ahead... More

Having stayed several days at this hotel, I can understand the conflicting reviews. I arrived at 6.30pm, to find no one in reception. A young woman arrived after 20 minutes, having been walking the dog. She offered no apology for not being there. This was not the warm Irish welcome that I have known, having spent many holidays in Ireland.... More

I had read some bad reviews about this place and was a bit nervous about booking but there was no need at all. When we first got to reception we were attended to straight away by a nice woman who showed us around were breakfast was etc and then to our room. Breakfast seemed basic, not hot meals just cereal...
