Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Went to go for good yesterday said I would try the raddison with my girlfriend as they offer outdoor seating and the weather was nice. Found a table went to the bar to order . Barman asked for my table number told him there was none , explained where the table was. Told me get my table number and “he will actually take my order “ tried his best to make me feel very stupid so I just left. middle height lad with a beard. Left shortly after as I wasn’t going back up to be embarrassed again.

Hotel's Favourite
Quite recenty we took a family boating trip on the Shannon. During this trip, due to unforseen circumstances we needed to cehck into a hotel for an evening. We booked two rooms at the Radisson Blu in Athlone. Even though we needed to check in much earlier than the general checkin time, the staff there made one of our two rooms avalable a few hours in advance to accommodate us. Our rooms were beuatiful and super comfy! We ate on at the hotel restuarant that evening and the food was so good and the service again was really great. The following morning we decided to have breakfast there also and even though we had not booked it as part of our stay and even though the breakfast dining area was super busy, the staff made every effort to accommodate us and were so kind. Especially a lady named Avril (i think she was a manager), a real lady! Have to say that for an unexpected diversion, staying at the Raddison blu in Athone was a great addition to out trip. Great service and even better staff. Sonya

I stayed in room 424. The walls & radiator were filthy dirty & skirting boards full of dust. Leak behind toilet had the bathroom floor constantly wet. Room was too hot in the nice May weather- rooms could do with air con. No facilities for children other than a pool. Family were on the 5th floor. Their rooms seemed much cleaner but there was a horrible stale smell on the corridor on that floor. Although the hotel in right in the middle of the town it is overpriced for what you get. Could have done with extra bar staff at busy times.

A monument to mediocrity, so many things were wrong that it wouldn't be fair to list them all, but highlights are room keys that don't work, having to improvise solutions for the room power switch, and the icing on the cake being no parking spaces... the large main car park sealed off the night before because there was n important conference the next day... Good to know that normal guests aren't important..

Booked 5 rooms and the room standard ranged from very good to poor. There was no consistency. 1 person exceptionally happy, 1 exceptionally unhappy and 3 somewhere in between. Overall it was a good experience due to the location.

Sorry this review is long overdue...... I met one of the kindest most considerate and hospitable people that I've met in years at front of dining in this hotel last month. I was there to connecting with family who were staying during a difficult family bereavement. Avril had no idea why I /they were there but she lifted my spirit & demonstrated the good that comes from having genuine interest in people. 💞You have a precious gem in Avril @ head of dining/hospitality take good care of her.

An impromptu stay as we had to go to Galway and wanted a rest on the way. Athlone is a great place/venue and the River Shannon is worth a look all on its own. You can’t go wrong with the Radisson chain. Staff very friendly and helpful. We got a complimentary upgrade so we’re overlooking the Shannon and keeping an eye on the new pedestrian crossing which will help access to the hotel. For visitors it’s about an hour and a half from Dublin Airport so a good way to get ready for the west if on holidays. Food was excellent. Free parking. Mariana on reception as particularly helpful
