My room was clean and comfortable with a window that opened if you need some cool air. The lounge area was convenient for making tea, popping popcorn in the micro and visiting with whoever else came down. There are all kinds of cool and interesting things in the house. Make sure you check out the cool bohemian store next door, too.
The Bastion is in a great location. Sean’s Bar is right down the hill and there are very good food choices within a block (Lebanese, The Left Bank, the Bastion Kitchen, Mi Bella Italian, etc. John’s or Athlone Castle is right down the hill past Sean’s as is an art gallery, Luan. It is an easy walk across the bridge to several shops, restaurants, and an actual mall with a Starbucks.
