The Bastion is easy to find and there was parking on the street near by. I arrived about 21:45 but Anthony was there to let me in and show me to my room. I had forgotten my toothpaste but Anthony kindly found me some (unexpected). The bed was comfortable and you have a lock on your door and a key to the front of the building.

The only slightly negative thing is that the stairs are squeaky because it is an old building (not that I noticed anyone else walking about as I slept like a log). In the morning I got breakfast in the Bastion Kitchen directly across the street. The pulled pork and egg bap was excellent and only about 6.00 Euro. I'll be staying there again next time I'm in Athlone.
