If you're going to Ireland go to Athlone and if you're going to Athlone you need to stay here. Cutest place. It's clean and everyone, was friendly, guests and all. Beds were comfy. We had the two bedroom loft and it was perfect for the 3 of us who were travelling. The communal dining/kitchen/lounge area was always clean and guests were respectful of other guests belongings. The place has a lovely feel about it and you just feel at home. Would recommend to anyone travelling to Ireland!
