Large room with fantastic breakfast options
We loved this hotel room! The room was huge and the bathroom was massive! It also had parking behind, which was very convenient. The best thing was the delicious breakfast across the street! Strongly recommend The Lodge at the Old Barracks.

My family's stay here was fantastic! Rooms were a bit warm but they did supply a fan to help with that. They also left us a few sweets in our room which was a nice touch. The staff was so kind and the breakfast here was absolutely phenomenal. I'm suddenly a huge fan of chia pudding! Overall a really great stay and just a short 30 min into Galway which is what my family wanted. Such a cute, quaint town.

Stay here! (Not Galway)
It was amazing! Scott was super helpful and upgraded us (thank you), and suggested places for us to visit. Darragh too, he was welcoming and helped bring up our luggage. It's only a short walk to the train station and a 20 minute train ride to Galway. Otherwise, free parking. Plus, we drove to Dublin easily to the airport. We ate at the cafe and restaurant and all had high quality, excellent choice of food, with excellent table service. We had a good walk around Athenry too, what an historical place! Definitely recommend staying here, rather than in Galway.

This was a nice room for a short stop off on our trip. The room was a little small so the price was comparatively a little high, however you had the covenience of being within walking distance of everything as you are in the middle of the township.

Everyone who works there seems to love there job and it shows. From management to the staff they go overboard to make sure everything you may need you have.

Enjoyable Stay
We loved this place. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. We chose it as a home base to explore the Galway area. We only graded down to a 4 because of the challenging parking situation (very narrow entry alley and the limited number of parking spots) and no elevator (we had a lot of luggage amongst the 5 of us). The rooms were very comfortable, bathrooms very updated and modern. Breakfast across the way at their affiliated restaurant was outstanding. Be aware they do not open for breakfast until 8:30, if you have an early appointment. The pizza restaurant (also affiliated, we think) was also exceptional after a long day of exploring.

Room was great! Was a little complicated checking in at the cafe across the street. Staff was great when we arrived and recommended the pizza next door which was delicious. The breakfast the next morning was great too. Would definitely recommend!
