Hotel is lovely, bar great, bar food great. Rooms lovely, not huge but perfect for a short stay. Only complaint is that they don't have soya milk available. No excuse for that, especially as there's a shop across the road!! Staff were generally helpful and friendly, and the hotel is so central that it makes visiting athlone easy! More

Dear Guest, We were delighted with your very positive review of the Prince of Wales. I totally agree with you regarding buffet breakfasts. I hate when I stay in a hotel and see a hot buffet, its so much fresher coming straight from the kitchen. I have passed your comments along to our kitchen team. Make sure to contact me... More

We stayed here last year using a voucher from one of the deal sites. The room was very comfortable and surprisingly quiet given that this seems to be quite the local hotspot. The food in the Restaurant was good, not very imaginative but nicely presented and quite tasty. We found the layout of the Restaurant a bit strange though. The... More
