From the moment we arrived at the Galmont, and were greeted at reception by Fernanda and Clodagh, we found it was the staff that made the stay exceptional. For Europe, the room was comfortable, spacious, kept immaculate, with daily service. While the quiet location may seem out of the way, it is just steps from the train station, the Coach Station and minutes away from Eyre Square. Our buffet breakfast was included and always fresh and well stocked. The host was also very pleasant.

I loved everything about the place only thing that needs looking at is the bar menu
I had the chicken burger I asked was the chicken fresh
I was so looking forward to fresh chicken breast burger

We had a nice time here .
The heritage centre is worth a visit. For 5 euro you get to go on a tour and learn lots of the history of Athenry in a fun and interesting way ,you get to wear costumes and you get to do archery and a maze. Such a lovely experience. There's also a castle and an Abbey to visit . Great playground for children.
The food in the restaurants and pubs was just gorgeous. The people were friendly and nice.
Definitely will return again.

Athenry was a wonderful little town to visit.
Athenry was a wonderful little town to visit. Great to get a feel for authentic, non-touristic Irish culture. The town boasts a castle, a friary ruin, an old stone gate, so many gems to visit! Then the nightlife was very fun. Great pubs and music made for one our favorite stops during our 10 day trip to Ireland
Wanted a spot near Shannon airport to make for an easy travel day (50 minutes by car). Rooms are small but lots of storage. Facility has a nice outdoor space for drinks or food that is private but there is smoking allowed there so you never know what you'll get. Their parking lot is also enclosed in that spot so easy to get to. There are not a lot of restaurants in Athenry and the food served here was really quite good and that's a top option for you. Breakfast was very good and included.
The hotel is in the centre of town which is small with a busy one way system. Book in is in the restaurant and then you go across the road to the accommodation. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable with a good shower. A nice touch in having small cakes for guests in the rooms. There is tea / coffee making and wardrobe space in the rooms. The restaurant had good, reasonably priced meal choices and breakfast was very good. Staff were welcoming and friendly.
The staff were very friendly and attentive. They also seemed to enjoy working there, nice to see that staff are taken care of. We were upgraded to a suite on arrival and our room was beautiful, quiet and had a balcony. Leisure Centre was lovely and spa was great! 10/10 and great value. Athenry is a lovely quiet spot about 30 minutes away from Galway City. The bar staff especially Eileen were great banter throughout our stay. We'll be back.
Everything was perfect. Room lovely and comfortable. Bed and pillows superb! Magnificent breakfast and such pleasant, helpful staff BUT only thing was the person/people above us were so noisy :( Not a fault of the hotel or its lovely surroundings but took us ages to drop off. HOWEVER, little impact on our lovely stay. Thank you very much New Park. We'll be back :)
We loved Athenry and our stay at the Lodge at the Old Barracks! The people were SO kind and took very good care of us. The "family room" was clean and spacious enough for us (three adults and one teen)...with everything we needed for our two night stay. The breakfast (at the restaurant across the street) was lovely. We're already planning when we can make a return visit.
This hotel is a gem! Alacoque (the owner) is absolutely lovely. So friendly and chatty. She gave us great information about Athenry and we really enjoyed doing the heritage trail that she recommended. The cooked breakfast was fantastic! Love the outdoor dining area too. Highly recommend this hotel and Athenry is a lovely town full of history. Shouldn’t be missed.
We had a very warm welcome from the owner. The staff were terrific, very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, easy for us to explore Athenry, and take the train to Galway. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were excellent, and the chocolate marshmallow treat exceptional. Some special treats were left in the room for us to enjoy too, nice touch.
The food was amazing , the hotel was georgeous and so comfy , the staff were extremely friendly and helpful , my kids got ice cream when they arrived and on leaving , we had a lovely time , a fantastic hotel , it was our first time there , we will definitely be back , it’s very child friendly too.
The town is quiet and away from too many tourists, yet close enough to Galway and a great stopping point to see a lovely town. The breakfast was beyond amazing! Friendly staff. Hope to stay there again!
The breakfast included in the price is absolutely amazing. You can have whatever you want from the menu, and the food is really high quality. I am always so full after breakfast!
Very nice staff all through the Hotel. Excellent breakfast, delicious. Lovely meal in the bar also. Great pool and great area for the kids to play! Thank you
