Other then this we had a lovely dinner in the restaurant, and left for our room just before the band was ready to start the music; so we missed this.

The Radisson was a decent hotel to stay at while in Athlone…read more What were the pros? Location - it is within walking distance to tons of stuff Friendly staff members The breakfast was extra but there was a good selection, I liked that I was able to squeeze my own OJ The bar was a fun place to grab a drink What were the cons? The hair dryer - it was not powerful and felt like it was going to vibrate out of my hand while using it. It also would stop working after a few minutes. There was no thermostat to adjust the air temperature, you have to open the window so it did get loud with street noise late at night The bed and pillows were a tad uncomfortable

Checked in for one night. In May. We booked a business king room including breakfast 120 Euro for…read moretwo adults, 3rd floor overlooking the River Shannon. The room is a tad small but well equipped with robes, Nespresso, tea and free parking, free wifi and s safe. The public areas are lovely especially the expansive deck overlooking the river. The breakfast buffet offered a vast assortment of options including a full Irish breakfast. My only suggestion would be add a bit of ambiance with background music in the restaurant. Also the workout room was well equipped but the blaring music put me off, we took an early morning walk along the river instead (there is a footpath along the river on the side opposite the hotel). The location is perfect, on the banks of the River Shannon in the center of Athlone. Historic sites, restaurants and bars are an easy walk.

Great pool & spa area. The main part of the hotel is starting to look really dated at this point…read more They have a new floor to ceiling glass wall bedroom wing that's supposed to be gorgeous but I didn't stay in that part so can't comment. The food in the bar is dreadful & the fine dining area was too expensive for a family to use. Unfortunately when we were there a sharp piece of plastic ended up in my daughter's ice cream & they had a fire drill for staff without telling any guests on the third floor which meant a relative in her late sixties with a very bad hip & back had to defend three stories by stairs with everyone else only to be told when she got there that there was no need to. Frightened the kids too. A request for a pitcher of water to be sent to a room at 10.45 arrived at 12.15 after two calls down to reception. Slight touch of fawlty towers going on. Free wifi that sometimes works in the rooms. Not the best of experiences. I'd love to rate it higher, unfortunately can't.

We tried their soup, wings, nachos and roast beef & mash and wow - everything was absolutely delicious!

I am giving one star because I can't write a review without giving it a star…read more Sooooo. Me and my fiancee stayed there this weekend two years ago for her 28th birthday. She was my girlfriend then. Soooooo after two years of saying what a nice time we had and the lovely view we had , I decided that for her 30th we would go back but this time bring our 11 month old son. I booked a lovely double room which according to the pictures was something similar to what we stayed in last time around. I rang the day before our departure on wed the 21st to confirm if it would be OK to get a travel cot into the room as our son was coming Ohhhh the girl said on the phone, the room you booked is in the new part of the hotel which has a child free policy so we will have to put you in our other part of the hotel if your coming with your baby. Now for the same price I was thinking alright it still should be nice. So we made our way all the way from drogheda and were delighted with ourselves. We got their and checked in and we got put in to a room I can only describe as the night you go back and stay in your granny's after 10 years. It was awful and nothing like what we wanted as you can imagine. I rang reception and told the nice girl this will not do so she got a porter to come up to me to show me two other rooms. After looking at the two rooms I was beginning to wonder if they wanted us in the hotel at all. I told the girl in reception that I still was not happy and she told me that a manager was on the way up to me. A lovely man appeared at our door and could not be nicer. He told us we were not the first to complain about this and won't be the last as people who come alone as s couple often come back as a family and are disappointed and he offered us a comp dinner. We declined as I could not stay in such a dated room and for the first time in my life took me and my family out of the hotel and asked for my money back. The hotel though the staff are nice does not cater adequately for family's compared to couples alone. Having a pool for the kids does not mean you can take the same money for sub standard dated appalling rooms really poor rooms. We felt like we could not get the same level of hospitality because we had our baby with us. Folks when you pay 270 euro for two nights B&B with your son or daughter you can get a better level of care if you leave your children at home because you get punished if you bring them and discriminated against. This is not a child friendly hotel and the gulf in quality to when you do and don't have them is frightening. We are now in the Sheraton hotel in a modern room and we feel like we are wanted. Go alone to the hodson. We will never be in it again. Thank you.
