Lodge at The Old Barracks

MICHAEL!!! We’ve been in Ireland for 5 nights and have stayed in 5 different places. The Lodge was above all our favorite! Michael was so warm and welcoming and had the best suggestions. The pizza place next-door is amazing! We were in Italy, 2 Christmases ago and this pizza was even better!

Lovely stay, the room was clean and we had a delicious breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

We loved The Lodge at the Old Barracks! We were greeted by name for checkin and recognized by staff the next morning at breakfast. Everyone was delightful, and the place was lovely! Room was big with a great view of the vilkage and restaurant across the street. Breakfast was delicious! Stay - you'll be glad you did.

Lovely lodge and inn with personal services. Proprietor greeted us by name and walked us to our room. Morning staff at the restaurant knew us and were most helpful! Breakfast was delicious! We will stay again if our journeys bring us this way again! Next time, we will plan to arrive early enough for dinner at the Lodge!

Easy parking, good communication from host, great breakfast, clean and very comfortable.

Amazing staff and beautiful hotel and restaurants! Everything was perfect! We can’t wait to visit again soon! ☺️

Wonderful work lace to stay!

Check in was not smooth, took 20 minutes with us standing awkwardly in restaurant. Breakfast doesn't start until 8:30, which made it useless for us. Everything in between was fine

Food was great and in walking distance

Lovely stay clean rooms and wonderful staff!

Food is great. Super friendly staff. Nice location. But as a business traveler it wasn’t ideal. Check in isn’t hard but it’s awkward as you check in from the cafe. The room wasn’t super clean, especially the bathroom. WiFi password written in the room wasn’t right. The location is convenient but it was loud. The pubs were loud and then the high street was loud in the morning.

I cannot express how grateful we were to stay here! The staff was absolutely amazing. When our car got a flat over an hour away, Scott rang a taxi company to come rescue us. He was in constant contact with me to ensure our safety. The room was so lovely and cozy and they even left little chocolates beside the bed. The pizzeria downstairs made some wonderful drinks to help lift my spirits after a very long and terrible day. The hotel is located within walking distance to some beautiful attractions and a great park my 4 year old enjoyed. I wish we were able to stay longer. Best stay we had in Ireland!

Great stay, our room was perfect and sparkling clean. The staff were really helpful and friendly.

Great find in a nice village near Galway. Super friendly and accommodating staff. Good selections at the associated restaurant! Highly recommend! Tight parking.

Drove around Ireland with my son for almost three weeks staying in a different place each night and this was by far our favorite hotel. Lovely clean comfortable rooms friendly staff. Hotel, cafe across the street, and pizza place next door are all owned by the same nice guy and what really set this place apart other than the great rooms was the food. Included breakfast is basically anything off the menu at the cafe across the street and the pizza place had the best pizza we had in Ireland. They were sold out otherwise we would have happily extended our stay another day. Pub up the street has good live music too. Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Excellent centarized location to explore Ireland. Food was amazing and staff extremely friendly and welcoming.

The people are great and the property is good but there are a few things to be aware of if you end up in room 1. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Room 1 overlooks the street and is a good location but there is a bit of noise and some early morning deliveries of kegs makes the place shudder. The lighting in the room is poor. It is an old building with lots of creaks but I don’t know what the people were doing in the room above us but they we could hear every step they took. Room 1 has a couple of maintenance issues that need fixed - the sink tap and a sunken spot on the floor in the bathroom entrance. Breakfast was delicious

The room was clean, and the the staff was very nice.

I was a bit confused when first pulling up during check in hours. I wasn’t sure which building to go into. They had closed up early. I finally asked a worker that was leaving for the day, where I should go. And she told me that the pizzeria could help me. I turned around to head toward that and a nice fellow (Jeremy?) was sweeping the sidewalk and greeted me by name, knowing I was probably the last to check in, and someone told him I would be arriving at some point. Other than that. The staff was kind to explain and show me where I could park and enter and exit the building. The parking lot was through a very tight passage way behind the building. But it was perfect nonetheless! Had we been up to walking more we may have taken the train to Galway, but instead we self drove from Athenry and explored Portumna and surrounding more rural areas. It was one of the most magical times we had. Found a castle and the guy that lived in it invited us in for tea. That might not have been as easy to do if we stayed anywhere other than The old Barracks. We tried a late night takeaway place around the corner and it was just delicious kababs. The pizzeria was amazingly good too!!! Wood fired deliciousness!

The room was good, but there was only a small wardrobe for storage, no nightstands, no place other than the beds to sit on. The small chest held extra pillows, the drawer information about the B and B. And it stuck badly. The staff were wonderful.
