The Bastion is a fabulous place - incredibly individual and informal, and we were made to feel at home immediately by Anthony and Vinny, even though we were only there for one evening. It is ideally located near to lots of interesting places to eat and drink, as well as the town's main visitor attractions, so you don't need to walk far for its best features. The room itself was very attractive, with a good en-suite shower room and very comfortable bed. Tea and coffee making facilities are available in the shared kitchen, which is a great place to sit and relax, too.

Anthony and Vinny were very helpful with advice about the local attractions, as well as information to help us in travelling to our next destination.

Athlone is a lovely town, made lovelier by the welcome we received at The Bastion. Highly recommended accommodation!
