Room was very small. No free coffee or breakfast. (Except for instant). No air conditioning. Just ok. Traffic if horrific outside hotel also.
We had a hen party stay here and were really happy with this hotel. It is very central and the staff were really helpful with everything.
I would definitely recommend :-)

I liked the central are of the hotel.very noisy for sleeping 8hours which was a shame as the breakfast was lovely and staff.just poor sleeping facilities
Great Hotel the only problem we had was we booked a wheelchair accessible room which we got but it had no grab rails in bathroom meaning my wife had to use the wheelchair accessible toilet on the ground floor. These little things make a big difference to someone in a wheelchair
Great location in the heart of athlone staff were great and the hotel is really good value for being so central this is sure to become a favorite with me
The hotel was, the room was very small but was clean. I had a shower in my room but would have loved a bath after a long day working.
The room key did not work so had to go back to reception to get them reset, I was made to feel that I made them not work by putting them by my phone which was not the case.
Breakfast does not start until 9am which is no good if you are working. There was no one on reception at 7.30am to check out, I had to call an extension number to get someone, I rang the number 4 times before someone replied and I got a rude employee telling me to wait as he was busy with an emergency.
Not a hotel I would book again.

I didnt like rug at reception always needs cleaned, ( same last time i stayed) reception and white ( or dirty white) stairs need upgraded.
Very pleasantly suprised, great hotel in the centre of town, right outside an entrance to the shopping centre. Rooms are a good size ,clean with tea, coffee, coffee making machine and safe. Free wifi throughout and their own free carpark for hotel guests.
Staff were so welcoming and friendly and remembered us and welcomed us back, special shout out to Ahmed who looked after us so well serving our food and drinks with a friendly smile always!
