Reviews for Athlone Springs Hotel
Review 1:Constant noise
Review 2:Went for a relaxing break but was bitterly disappointed with the noise pollution. The hotel.was taken over with families from dublin who let their children run amuck all over the hotel floors till the wee hours
Review 3:Room was very cold, despite turning up the thermostat, view of shopping centre bins not the most appealing and breakfast was poor, very little food available and no staff member around to ask, had to wait until a staff member came to get coffee, restaurant was very quiet so no excuse, 10am Sunday morning
Review 4:Staff in reception and bar were really pleasant, food in bar was very nice
Review 5:I felt the menu was limited and the food was not as good as previous stays.breaded mushrooms were part of a platter dish but when I asked if I could have the mushrooms alone as a starter I was told no..no nice chicken dish only in a stir fry. The roast of the day was turkey but who would want turkey so soon after Christmas. Roast beef, lamb or chicken would have been nice..instead of just sirloin steak, fillet would be a nicer choice. Fresh veg was just carrot and turnip which was all dried up as if kept under a light.and the price we paid did not reflect the food we got..this hotel use to do a fab brie starter, a nice garlic bread, crumbed mushrooms, a braised beef dish, chicken, a better selection of fresh veg but the unfortunately not this time..would have been better off going to the chipper next door..lighting in bedroom is so poor you would need to do your makeup in the lift, best lighting in the hotel.
Review 6:Staff are friendly and leisure facilities are good and shop and take away restaurant next to hotel is handy.
Review 7:Tiny bit disappointed with the "Spa" as it had no relaxation room/area, the waiting room was right beside the gym so people were walking past every two minutes.
Review 8:The food was fabulous in both the bar and restaurant. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Staff were really friendly.
Review 9:Leisure centre changing rooms were absolutely freezing, poor showers - Luke warm water in a freezing shower cubicle. Pool wasn't warm either. (But staff were lovely and helpful)
Review 10:Clean, bright, warm rooms, fantastic staff, very helpful, plenty of parking, great stay
Review 11:Could do with a bloody good clean. Curtains in resturant hanging off & ripped. Lumps & paint gone off doors. The kettle in our room had to be changed cause of scum in the bottom of it.
Review 12:Valve for money.....
Review 13:Just a few things in need of updating. Ceiling paint in bathroom peeling off quite badly, room 211. Curtains in breakfast room falling off rails in places. Overall a pleasant stay. Minor details but fixing would improve quality
Review 14:Lovely hotel - lovely atmosphere.
Review 15:Thought changing rooms in Leisure Centre could do with a thorough clean & some minor repairs e.g. no hook to hang towel in shower cubicle, shower curtain missing, hairdryer not working etc.
Review 16:Leisure facilities were excellent. Room was spacious & very comfortable. Bar food very good & reasonably priced. Staff throughout were extremely professional & welcoming.
Review 17:There was nothing that I didn't like
Review 18:It was comfortable,clean and well situated. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and I will definitely be staying here again.
Review 19:Shower was only luke warm (even at max temperature) Room lighting very dim - no light over mirror where hairdryer was, and hairdryer was secured in
Review 20:Breakfast was good
Review 21:The staff were absolutely fantastic, so friendly and helpful particularly the lady in reception.. Location very good, not far from the town only about €10in taxi....
Review 22:The dinner menu in the restaurant did not change during the weekend when we stayed there which was a little disappointing although the food itself was without fault.The chairs in the restaurant & bar are extremely low (we had our elderly mother with us who found it difficult to get in and out of them) and they are quite badly stained and in need of a recover. Also there was no where to sit and chat in comfort over a drink or two.
Review 23:All of the staff were lovely and very helpful and friendly. The beds are extremely comfortable and the rooms were clean. The gym facilities are also very good and very clean. The pool area also looked really good & clean although I didn't try it. The bar food looked amazing although we didn't partake of it and the food in the restaurant was very tasty.
Review 24:Friendly Staff....helped us bring all our bags out to the car in the rain. Had a 10mth yr old baby with us,she had a ball. Staff couldnt do enough for us in the restaurant.
Review 25:Just few small bits, as we stayed with a small child (still in nappies) we spent a lot of time in the room. There was no bin in bathroom, kettle wouldn't boil, sink in bathroom was blocked and there was hair in the shower. I also found the interior in the restaurant a bit shabby for example the chairs had a lot of stains on them. I also order sausage & chips for our daughter in the bar one evening, the sausages were definitely reheated from the breakfast that morning, my little one even spat them out. Not good enough!
Review 26:Hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. We always got a smile or hello as passed by.
Review 27:We stayed for 3 nights. On second night we got no sleep because of a huge amount of shouting just outside our room door ( rugby team partied all night ) Our room was 208 close to stairs and lifts.this left us way too tired to enjoy or do anything next day. We were left with no towels in room for most of the day . Cups and saucers were left to dry on bathroom sink.
Review 28:Staff very friendly. Very clean rooms.
Review 29:We arrived Saturday evening, tired , met friendly girl on Reception and very helpful to us had no delay get us to our room. Food was excellent and staff very helpful a special word of thanks to manager on Sunday morning who printed directions for Strokestown.Enjoyed stay thanks to all
Review 30:Taught the room was very dark. In need of a lot more lighting. Three single beds in our room. Would have liked one double didn't sleep well. Rooms plan enough for price
Review 31:Taught the reception staff were lovely. Especially the blonde girl. Very obliging. Food was good. Hotel was nice & clean. Very contempory. I personally would like a hotel to have more character. More pictures, more of a homely feel
Review 32:very low lighting in room, may be romantic but impossible to read. Bathroom water warm not hot
Review 33:excellent, friendly & helpful staff. Good location, easy to find. Bar food very good, & reasonably priced.

Review 38:The food in the restaurant was good and the staff were polite and friendly.
Review 39:No life guard on duty at the pool and there was a lot of young children on the pool,no bags for wet swim wear or signs around for to put wet towels

Review 43:It's a strange one but there was not enough lighting in the room as a girl having a mirror without a light near it is a disaster

Review 46:Friendly staff and breakfast fabulous
Review 47:Breakfast was luke warm and greasy. That's the only fault.
Review 48:We had a slight ladies problem in the bar and the lady receptionist was very good and very discreet and got the problem sorted quickly. Very grateful to her.
Review 49:No gluten free bread available for breakfast , put some in the freezer like every where else!! It's very rare to come across a hotel that doesn't have this option
Review 50:Staff , decor & food in bar all exceptional . Room very comfortable

Review 52:The staff were good.
Review 53:There was nothing I didn't like.
Review 54:Everything about the hotel was A1. Comfort, facilities, bar and staff. The bed and room were very comfortable. Love the huge shower in bathroom too :-)
Review 55:The fan in the bathroom wasn't great causing the steam from our shower to set off the smoke alarm. Also the shower did not have a door so the water soaked the floor which with the water being trapped under a loose tile on the floor made for a horrible musty smell.
Review 56:The staff were very friendly.
Review 57:Would need to have a car as it's a little out of town.. No complaints about the hotel or it's staff though.. Top class :)
Review 58:Lovely, modern hotel on the outskirts of Athlone but near the majors roads.. Spotlessly clean in all areas of the hotel. Friendly and helpful receptionist on check-in and on departure. Great selection of breakfast buffet items, tasty cooked breakfast .. No noise at night time within the hotel or from outside. Will be returning again! Good value for money :)
Review 59:The staff were all so very friendly, really so helpful. The leisure centre was fantastic and very clean. Overall the hotel was first class. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Review 64:The music from the wedding on sat nyt kept my kids awake,the bedding on all the beds were torn,the hotel needs to be updated..
Review 65:The music in the bar was vry good on the sat night
Review 66:The leisure centre was filthy in every location. There was rust and mildewed the floor hadn't even been swept in the changing room, the pool had scum around the entire thing. The poor hygiene put us off going to try the Zen beauty. The hotel itself was ok. The room had some issues, the cups and glasses weren't all clean, there was mildew on the shower curtain, we found an old biscuit on the floor and the carpet was stained in several places. The curtain kept coming off the runner too. We were in a hurry to leave, so didn't have a chance to mention all of this to staff.

Review 79:nO HOT WATER FOR BATH AT NIGHT hAIRDRYER NOT WORKING nO PLASTIC BAG FOR LAUNDRY remote for tv not working BREAKFAST VERY POOR most guest staying for local athletics Not a banana in sght at breakfast Very poor for the huge inflated cost of weekend
Review 80:The staff great you with a smile we loved the leisure centre plus we were spoiled with robes and strawberries as a surprise can't wait to return with the kids they will love it
Review 81:Beds were so uncomfortable, you could hear every little noise and everyone passing room at all hours! Rooms too hot, bar not very clean, tables poorly managed and staff not interested. I wanted to come home after 1st night as I did not sleep either of the two nights we stayed
Review 82:Room walls could do with a fresh painting
Review 83:The staff were very nice and the bed was very comfortable the room we were in had door opening on to balcony which was nice and airy
Review 84:Air con disabled as is extractor fan in windowless bathroom. Unable to see out of room window as it was 'frosted over' to hide flat roof & extractor for kitchens which came on at 630am until 11pm & was so loud you couldn't have window open
Review 85:The ceiling above the shower had rot on it, it took the nice clean look from the lovely bathroom!
Review 86:The leisure facilities were excellent. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, the food in the bar was gorgeous, we had a lovely relaxing weekend!!
Review 87:There was a midweek wedding which we were not made aware of. Our bedroom was above the dance hall we had to move our bedroom to guarantee we got some sleep. I always check any weekend stays for weddings taking place and will avoid the hotel like the plague.
Review 88:I found the bar very small and very warm at night, there was no air conditioning in the bar as the staff said it was broke, just really disapointed in the size of the bar!
Review 89:The pool was of good size the room was nice it was great for kids .
Review 90:Room at the very end of 2nd floor - possibly worst location in hotel , bad smell in room and bathroom - partially went after left the window completely open. Broken shower head which I fixed. Could not get warm water in sink for shaving.
Review 91:Good parking, reasonable breakfast, very pleasant staff and other than initial smell a reasonable room
Review 92:got an issue with the hot water in the room 9no hot water) it was fixed after cheking out
Review 93:The Manager offered a discount on the price of the room to compensate the issue with the hot water
Review 94:There was a foul smell in the bathroom coming from the toilet. The breakfast was the worst I've ever come across in an Irish hotel in terms of poor quality and very poor choice. There were four persons in our group - 3 Irish and one American and we were all disappointed .
Review 95:There is a good leisure centre and it wasn't overcrowded the weekend we stayed . It was the best part of the offering.
Review 96:We paid €278 for 2 nights however I seen an advertisement in the hotel room for a summer special of €219 which included dinner, I would have liked to have been offered this rate.
Review 97:The breakfast was poor. We weren't offered tea or coffee and had to go looking for a member of staff to get us some. The breakfast was cold and not great. Expected better value for money.
Review 98:The receptionist was lovely and the rooms are brilliant. We didn't use the spa but it looked great.
Review 99:For a weekend away arriving on Saturday and with prior plans for the same saturday evening, we were very disappointed that we could not use the spa sunday or monday. We have stayed in lots of hotels around europe and Ireland and have never come across this before now. ... if someone booked a day off work to make a long weekend of it , it would most likely be monday.. very few hotels close their spa one day a week not to mention two.
Review 100:Overall a pleasant stay . Friendly staff . Clean hotel but prob wont book again as we would like to have the choice of using a spa if we felt like it . Sunday and mondays suit us best when going away for a weekend. Thanks
Review 101:I would have liked a bigger bed for my friend and I and it is not a complaint nor did it impact on our break which was excellent.
Review 102:Everything the shower was amazing
Review 103:The position was dreadful unless your a sales rep or such like. At least 10 minutes drive from town. The ladies on reception did not have a clue about anything to do with the hotel. There was no soap etc in our room had to ask reception 2 times for some. The list goes on.
Review 104:The food in the restaurant
Review 105:It's a little far out if you're not driving.. Taxi in to town was €10 each way..
Review 106:Really nice little gem on the outskirts of athlone.. Lovely room, bed was very comfy, that's the reason we can't comment on the breakfast!! Leisure centre was very well equipped. Will definitely be back.
Review 107:No food served after 9pm which was when we were ready to eat but the lovely receptionist suggested a Chinese round the corner which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Review 108:I loved the pool and jacuzzi. The rooms were comfortable and spacious.
Review 109:WiFi didn't function in room.
Review 110:Asked for quiet room at booking and didn't get it but Tara at reception relocated us immediately to a great bug quiet room. breakfast by room service was good.
Review 111:Found a black hair in my scrambled egg at breakfast I was at a conference for science correcting and the toilets near the room were an absolute disgrace about 4 available for use but they were so filthy I had to walk up to toilets near reception desk also they were awful for both days nobody touched them and were not maintained
Review 112:Staff were lovely although wait times for serving in restaurant was long and it seemed understaffed
Review 113:breakfast was very basic with very little choice for a four star hotel,they should go over to the hodson bay to see how it should be done,pity they skimp on breakfast as the hotel is otherwise fairly good.
Review 114:staff were friendly and helpfull,room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable,
Review 115:Room was over the outside seating area Very noisy first night .No sleep. Second night a little better .Wedding guests outside smoking and talking.Rooms should not be in this area as noise is unavoidable.Decor in lobby very dated.
Review 116:Terrible wifi, bathroom was too dark, shower flooded the entire bathroom and the water on the slate floor was dangerous, bathroom filled with condensation which took hours to clear, no air con,
Review 117:Staff were very friendly
Review 118:When I went into my room first, there was a strange musky smell. The TV was also not working properly and had red and green lines running through the screen when on.
Review 119:The location was great for my stay. The bar in the hotel served excellent bar food.
Review 120:My room 105 was accessed by other people after 11pm. There was no phone or tv in this room and it was noisy until after 3am with a fan. My husband joined me for the second night we had a different room 208 and the nightclub kept him awake.
Review 121:The lady at reception on arrival was lovely. Plenty of choice for breakfast.
Review 122:The rooms were very warm
Review 123:The rooms are lovely and spacious, the staff are great, food and bar was also top notch. The location is quite close to town too. Really loved it and would definitely go back again
Review 124:The hotel is a little too far outside the town it would be rather a long walk so we had to take the car. The public bar is a little small respecially as we found out when there was a large party taking place, so there is no other facility for guests.
Review 125:Very good sized room friendly staff and convenient for the motorway
Review 126:the bar area was too small and uncomfortable lobby area off the bar very cold , if they extended the bar into the lobby area and put a few heaters to warm the atmosphere it would be better, we were with a large amount of people and they all had the same complaint
Review 127:the staff, the food and the room was all good. great power shower, very clean room and staff very friendly
Review 128:The main problem we had was lack of heating in the room! No air condition (I should have checked this before booking this hotel) just very noisy radiator (when finally on) and no heating in the bathroom at all! – was really cold there. We had to contact reception each time we were discovering that the heating was gone. And it was gone approx. every 2 hours. When we arrived the room was freezing cold and we were staying with our small baby, I believe once they placed the cot in the room they should think that we would need the heating as well! I even rang main desk at 5am as the heating was gone again, they put it back for 2 hours again. Honestly it was really annoying. I have never ever in my life rang reception so many times over one thing! When checking out the lady promised to look after the problem! I am sorry but it was not really our problem anymore, it should be done while the guests were in the room! The price of the room was high enough for having the problem like this. I would also add that the bar is very small, it’s like the hotel lobby rather than the proper bar. The breakfast was nice, but not many options to choose from. I would say that it will not be our choice to come back as I believe that for the price we paid we could get better service.
Review 129:We decided to go to Athlone just for one night to visit the city, the hotel is too far from the town and you would need a car or taxi to get to it. The main advantage of this place is swimming pool and Super Valu and delicious pizza from Roma take away just two steps form the hotel
Review 130:Wifi signal wasn't great in the room, As a non smoker I recently gave up I was quite annoyed that someone a few rooms up from me was smoking the whole time we stayed there and the smell was quite strong we chose this hotel as it said it was a fully non smoking hotel this did annoy me as the girls getting rooms on the floor ready must have smelt it
Review 131:I have to say as a young couple arriving to this hotel we loved it massive warm welcome from a lovely lady at reception our room was fab and the beds were so comfy, the bath room was amazing the shower was fab, all members of staff that we encountered were very welcoming and very helpful
Review 132:The staff are faultless couldn't be more helpful or nice to speak too...dinner was beautiful and the price was great we got 2,3 course meals with 3 drinks for just over €70 the breakfast was very good ...the pool and gym facilities where also very good
Review 133:Few wee pointers: Paint was peeling off ceiling in bathroom which was a shame as bathroom was very spacious jus not very pretty to look at when lying in bath!! I had a room which happened to be an adjoining room which I got to admit was quite noisy from customers next door!! hotel a good distance from town
Review 134:rich purple decor was nice and inviting. Bed v comfy and got to admit bathroom was huge!! Room service was very fast, polite young gentleman delivered a delicious hot meal.
Review 135:Couldn't enjoy our stay because of the heat in the room. It was uncomfortably hot. Baby couldn't settle at night which meant all three of us were without sleep for 2 nights. Pity as the hotel is nice.
Review 136:Breakfast and convenient location.
