    Breakfast was poor, hot food greasy and tasteless, room was suffocating, no air conditioning, had to ask for fan and literally had to keep it on 24/7, not an enjoyable stay, sad to say, staff were pleasant, nice, but the hotel itself needs an upgrade in lots of ways.

    Location was great, very central, every amenity very easy to locate and reach, best thing about the stay.

    Delighted with stay in Radisson on this occasion. Our room exceeded expectations with two separate room spaces, two tvs, armchairs, the room was very spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable. Very quiet for peaceful nights rest. Beautiful breakfast next morning, lots of variety. Hotel decorated lovely for Christmas. Staff very helpful and friendly. Best stay in Radisson to date. Thank you!

    There was nothing I didn’t like.

    It was a lovely hotel in a great location - it was a short walk from the train station. The hotel itself was very clean. It was very warm and cosy and I got a great nights sleep.

    Reception a bit offhand. Bathroom bit small.

    Staff at reception could be friendlier, bit of eye contact and smile would help ( apart from one lovely woman, philipina I think.) Help with room took some time until 2nd request to aforementioned lady.

    It was a birthday gift to my sister to stay in Athlone and see a show. As power didn’t work in our room we were moved to a penthouse and it was offered to move our bags for us. We had dinner in the hotel where we tried to order a second drink - didn’t get it and were charged. This was sorted eventually. When we arrived back to hotel at midnight our bags were not in the room and apparently lost. The night porter said he would find them and bring them to us. 20 mins later the poor man arrived at our door saying he couldn’t find them. We explained that we couldn’t go to bed with out them as we had no PJs etc. more time passed and finally they were found in a different bed room. We then noticed that we had no towels on the bathroom and the following morning called reception to explain we had no towels. We were provided with a hand towel until I brought the housekeeping lady in to show her we had nothing. That was rectified. Overall for the price of one night in the hotel it was not very relaxing. There was a vibe of haphazardness amongst the staff in general although we were greeted with a smile in all occasions

    Location was great and it’s a lovely hotel

    The bacon could have been crispier!

    Fabulous, spacious room with river view and the bonus of a bath! Clean and bright, with a large comfortable bed and all usual facilitations, plus the bonus of a coffee machine. Super quiet, allowing a good night's sleep. Staff were friendly, cheerful and helpful. The location was 5 mins from the train centre and similar from shops, castle, etc. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Bar and restaurant on site. A really excellent venue.

    Enjoyed my second stay, HOWEVER the taxi problem really upset me, and it tarnished my experience.

    I had a major problem trying to book at taxi for 5:15 a.m. Monday 11th November. I had requested this about 11a.m. Sunday 10th November. I was informed of the difficulty at 930 p.m. that night. I was astonished, and was assured they would keep trying...I needed that taxi as I was travelling back to the U.K. via CityLink Bus to Dublin Airport. A frantic phone call was made to my friend that evening, and her 80+ mother was dragged out of bed to take me to Smyths Toy Centre the next day. I rang reception after the conversation and as it was not answered (I could hear it being transferred), I put a coat over my dressing gown and went down to reception. A second receptionist appeared from behind, I was told it was difficult to get a taxi on a Monday morning...neither receptionist was in any way sympathetic. I questioned when the phone call for a taxi was made, and apparently it started about 3p.m. I have been a hotel receptionist and I know this is roughly the pass over time. It was evident, no effort was made to contact my room until that time, what was I supposed to do? My suggestion is that if a taxi cannot be guaranteed, guests should be informed at the time. I was the only person leaving that hotel at that time. If taxi drivers cannot be relied on then advice should be given. Do all guests have their own transport? I hardly slept that night, and had a long day of travel ahead. This is the second time I have used your hotel, I'm not sure of another stay. The Breakfast Manageress was lovely, couldn't be more accommodating. May be the hotel needs a refurbishment, but the room was fine, very roomy, but a little tired in places. Catherine Ballard

    The breakfast wasn't great. Small selection, not great quality. No coffee machine in the room. The bar was right below my room and the music was too loud for my comfort. The pool temp was low and the facilities overall very basic

    Rooms dated... need serious refresh.. Dirty yellow bath mat. All wood in room & bathroom chipped and worn. Same for pool area & changing rooms...very tired looking. Reception staff very nice ...but unfortunately the lady we went to, I couldn't understand her english and I didn't want to ask her to repeat herself as her tone was already unwelcoming & aggressive... after we checked in we went to very friendly girl Daria for clarification on everything....
