Terrible. The worst chicken wings I've ever eaten. They are more like chicken toenails than wings. They are tiny. Absolutely disrespectful to hard working customers serving this low calibre of food. The chips and garlic sauce that accompanied the main portion of wings were the only thing that stopped me from sending back my meal. However, for a hefty €15.80 I would have fed myself with satisfaction in KFC and still have change.
Buyer beware. Once bitten twice shy, won't be back for food!

Where to start …no point being a member as it means nothing - went to check in where phones kept ringing very annoying when trying to talk - asked was it a double & single bed as I had requested told only 2 single beds ..asked what cost was for upgraded room which had double & single bed couldn’t give an answer - then told could push beds together to make a double- why when I’m travelling with a pre-teen boy! was using a voucher for partial payment and staff member didn’t know what to do - greeting poor considering first time travelling here! Leisure centre was actually disgusting-changing area filthy and obvious signs children had gone to toilet on ground-was talking with a lady there & she had informed staff of the mess of the place & no one went in to clean it - we were there over an hour and when returned still in same mess as when left it!! Doors missing off lockers …ones with a lock didn’t even work..has huge potential but they don’t seem to care. Room was small - bathroom had bits of tile missing, mould in bath area - toilet hadn’t been cleaned properly before us.
Mattress was quite poor - could even feel the springs.
Bar food while nice - staff not at all trained in customer service- took ages to order and it wasn’t even that busy - no coordination, had to ask for cutlery & order our drinks from bar ourselves.
Breakfast was grand nothing to write home about for a 4 star hotel- my son had to ask 2 staff members to help with pancake machine and neither acknowledged him.
In room - my son was sitting at desk playing chess when back part came down on his legs - it wasn’t even screwed in or secured- resulting in a bruise on each leg.
Tv has about 4 channels - very poor for families.
At 9am first morning staff knocked on door and asked if we needed towels - why wake patrons at this time - we left room after 11 came back at 6.30pm and beds hadn’t been made up or room cleaned.
I was so looking forward to this stay and based it off reviews of the hotel but in my opinion It’s a shambles of a place and couldn’t justify spending money there again - we have stayed in Radisson hotels elsewhere and definitely of better quality and service than Athlone.

We had a lovely room overlooking the river where you could watch the boats go past from your bed. The room was clean and had everything you needed. I would have wished there were more gluten free options at breakfast, other than that it was great.
