    We enjoyed our stay in Athlone and would stay again when our kids are a bit older as felt too cold for them

    Basic (BUT it is student accomodation in the college semester so hardly going to homely but could be made a bit less standard). A touch cold in the month of May but we were in a ground apartment and when heating was on it was warm

    Spacious apartment in a central location

    Very basic cooking facilities. The handle fell off the medium sized saucepan when I was draining pasta. I lost the lot and was lucky not to scald myself. The toilet didn't flush all week (we used a saucepan), the extractor fan didn't work. It would have been good to have oven gloves and a tea towel. The laminate flooring of the apartment was shockingly laid.... The bathroom light started flickering on our last day

    Convenient location and spacious

    The door to apartment 49 was hard to open and lock, it needs to be looked at. The hob in 49 was hard to heat up and they didn't all work. The bathroom wasn't cleaned to a good enough standard, there are very obvious dirt stains on the skirting board around the toilet area and I wouldn't like to think what it was!

    We were very impressed with the location, the size of the property was brilliant, we asked for 2 ground floor apartments beside each other and that is what we got, it was lovely and quiet at night.

    It was somewhat detereorated. The kitchen and basic cleaning equipment was lacking (knives were blunt, no chopping board, no broom). When we had problems with the appartment it was difficult to find help. We didn't find anyone in the reception (we looked several times in the day and following days). The call center bounced us from one extension to the other, until we finally got a call back.

    It was close to the bus stop. And it was ok for the price.

    There was mould around the window. Gaps in the doors, flooring was incomplete, not enough utensils or chairs for us to eat dinner. Lack of basics like a spare bin liner and tea towel and lack of prompt communication during our stay.

    The location was handy for what we needed

    It could have been a little bit cleaner . There was food left over in the cupboards from previous guests which isn’t very hygienic. The kitchen didn’t have all the basic essentials. There was no spoons or tea spoons . No chopping knives . No tea towels or dish soap . There was only three chairs and place settings at the kitchen table , but four people staying in the apartment.

    We were attending a convention at TUS which was across the road from the apartment so it was the perfect location . The bed was comfortable

    The shower flooded the entire bathroom. There was no barrier to keep the water close to the drain, so instead it ran all over the floor. We had to wade through standing water to use the toilet and/or the sink. Instructions for the washer/dryer would have been helpful.

    The location of this property was convenient & the property was clean. Kind of a cross between a dorm room and an apartment. Fit our needs for 6 adults.

    The window blinds didn't go down the whole way and some slats were broken. The ensuite shower controls were very stiff and I couldn't turn the temperature down. Could do with some bigger towels

    Great size. Everything you need for self catering except a bottle opener 😉 Clean

    There was no handle inside bathroom door so got locked in. This was fixed the next day. I thought I could drop in bags from 12, but had problems accessing the property when I arrived at 12.50. No parking space allocated for the apartment I got, so had to use someone else's. The TV was difficult to use, even though I downloaded the app provided. So no TV for the duration of my stay.

    Apartment was spacious. Nice to have 2 bathrooms.

    Place was dirty, unloved and smelled of disinfectant and decay. Black mould on bedroom wall. Not a shock, having read other reviews tho. Very basic kitchen equipment - only two pans and a frying pan that has its very own personality, i.e filthy dirty, and no can opener.

    Close to the town centre but without being too close! Very quiet in the evening. Safe parking. Close to shops.

    With a little upgrade on the furniture (Some chairs was more or less falling appart, one sofa was almost not usable), the place would have been much better. Also there where only chairs, curlery etc. for four persons, but five beds.

    Ok Place to stay.
