“The Bailey Gastro Bar, nestled right in the heart of Athlone, strikes me as a place where the staff's attentiveness truly shines, especially when paired with the surprisingly good, modestly priced food-the vegetarian options a particular win. It's a central hub where a friendly atmosphere meets affordability. I think this hotel could be a practical choice for those prioritizing location and a warm welcome, with a lively bar scene to boot.”
