Hotels near Department of Education and Skills, Athlone

Great location in the centre of town, free and easy parking, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, a nice swimming pool with water massage jets, and a delicious breakfast – what more could you want from a hotel? :)

Excellent location beautiful food very attentive staff.

The location is perfect. The staff and security staff were so helpful and genuinely friendly.

We had an unusual experience during our stay here. We had a lovely room, very large and comfortable, and all the reception people we dealt with were very helpful. In the morning after our first night, my husband had a kidney stone attack, and we had to go to the hospital. It was a Sunday and the receptionist told us we needed to go to Portiuncula Hospital and she called a taxi. After that, he was admitted to hospital, and I was on my own for the next night and I had to add on one more night, which was in a smaller room, but equally as comfortable. I appreciated being able to have dinner at the hotel for the two nights on my own, and the meals were very good. I had the breakfast on one morning, and it was very good, with lots of variety. I also appreciated the kindness and understanding of the reception staff. On the morning I left, because I had to wait for a taxi, the receptionist had tea and a biscuit brought to me. It was a memorable stay, perhaps for the wrong reasons, but I will always remember the staff at the Shamrock Lodge Hotel.

the hosts are excellent as is the food

Everything! DO NOT pass up a stay here if you are in Athelone. Avril and Neil are so friendly and wonderful. Everything was simply perfect!
