Athlone Springs Hotel

Brilliant food and staff at friends wedding!! Absolutely loved it.

Everything was excellent, from the ease of parking, to the lovely CLEAN bedroom, to the excellent dinner on Sunday night, and the delicious lunch during the conference. It was a lovely experience. THANK YOU!

For context, I was a bridesmaid at my a relatives wedding. Booking process: - Easily booked online. - The wedding rate was higher than the rate I had booked independently (by nearly €100), so I would question the value for money that is offered to wedding parties. Which I had to highlight as the hotel wanted to cancel my independent booking in favour of the bridal party room booking - I had approximately six calls with the hotel before I arrived as there were miscommunications/ misunderstandings - One of the times I called, I was told I would receive a call by someone who would be able to confirm details. Nobody called me - I had to once again initiate contact. - other members of the bridal party had their bookings cancelled without informing them, and had their personal details shared without permission. - there was a lot of uncertainty regarding bookings; I even got a call two days before the wedding asking if I still wanted the room. I had been prepared for the possibility that there may not be a room available when I actually got there. Wedding party suite for hair/makeup - two different staff members directed us outside to get to the suite at 7.25am, when the gym area was locked until 8am. - The staff then sent us up to the first floor and out towards the gym area again, giving us a 4 digit code/ number. This door was also locked, and there was no keypad. - When I called the reception to advise them of this, they sent someone over, but that person did not have a key. - Just a very messy situation, that I feel should have been avoided - The staff did bring us over some breakfast, which was very kind as the breakfast was not served until after 7.30 when the makeup/hair prep was ongoing. So they did try! - The confusion & delay resulted in the ladies having to split up travelling to ensure the bridesmaids got to the church on time, leaving mother of the groom to travel separately. Location: - out of the town - in an industrial estate - pharmacy & grocery shop nearby The bedroom: - it was a clean, normal size room with a bath & shower in the en-suite - the bed linen was ripped - had a hairdryer, ironing board & iron - given bottle of water complimentary - no fridge in the room - shampoo/ conditioner / shower gel provided (refillable Elemis bottles) - I was on the first floor above the breakfast room, while my siblings, and parents were all on the second floor - the noise from the breakfast room was able to be heard from my room in the morning, and kids screaming woke me up Breakfast: - standard hot breakfast with pastries & fruit - small amount of space to cater for the number in the hotel - overflow went into another room Wedding reception - nice food - catered for allergies - no non-alcoholic options available at the reception (despite having been made aware that the whole grooms side not drinking alcohol) - I asked a manager for non alcoholic drink from a manager who when he checked with the two bars, they both had no non-alcoholic drink options (besides soft drinks / water / tea / coffee). - the reception room was small, felt cramped, and many were left standing as there were not enough seats available Wedding event - the melon started was very small, containing less than a slim 1/2 slice of watermelon, two grapes, a single slice of kiwi & a single slice of orange. There was no coulee/ garnish. - bread & soup was nice - turkey dinner was a little dry, but they did provide extra gravy which was a lovely touch - desserts were tasty, but there was inconsistencies as some got four desserts, while others only got three. - the top table was not against a wall & one of the young children fell off it (luckily not hurt badly) - the waitress looking after our table was very nice and really tried to look after everyone well. - again there were no non-alcoholic beverages available (despite advertising that there would be) Check in / check out - easy check in & checkout - staff were happy to put gift into the wedding suite for me

Attended a conference at the hotel yesterday, I have to say the place looked nice, seemed like a nice atmosphere, staff was very friendly, the cookies where amazing i have to say. Was offered pre paid dinner voucher which was nice, food was really good, ill definitely be back for dinner. Thanks to David for all the help, answered any questions I had about food allergies, very professional well mannered man

Such a lovely stay at Athlone Springs Hotel. The food was genuinely gorgeous. Our room was spotless, really comfortable, and so warm and cosy, which made it very hard to leave the bed in the mornings. The staff were one of the highlights. Everyone was incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming in a way that felt sincere rather than forced. It makes such a difference. The location is also very convenient, there’s a SuperValu right beside the hotel which is ideal, and it’s quick and easy to get into Athlone town centre whenever you want to head in. It felt relaxed, comfortable, and easy the whole time. Would absolutely stay again.

Returning to this hotel again for the 4th time, always good staff are a credit to the hotel and we were lucky to get a complimentary upgrade to one of the newly renovated rooms! Will return again !
