The hotel was a short 10 minute walk to the city centre. A good selection for breakfast. The staff were friendly and polite. We had an evening meal there a few times during our stay, which were of a high standard. Would highly recommend the Shamrock Hotel.

We loved the Church of St.
We loved the Church of St. Peter and Paul - they feature vivid and colourful stained glass windows made by Harry Clarke. We were in there for way longer than we anticipated, the art was so detailed and interesting. We found handy parking round the back of the castle, but it was February and was quiet so no problems there.

It was a very friendly town, with many pubs, cafe's and restaurants.
Sean's Bar had a very good live music duo. We ate at The Fatted Cow, which served excellant food in a professional and friendly atmosphere.The town itself was easy to get around with good transport links to other towns and cities. It was a good place to be based at.

Front desk customer service was absolutely brilliant.
Front desk customer service was absolutely brilliant. THANKS to Eric the man is a legend. Good staff everywhere. Room was little hot but that was the weather we were having. ROOM was excellent Breakfast and a swim in the pool to it off .Thank-you one and all
The location and privacy of the room was more than adequate for the time that I had spent in the room. The location was similar to where I had stayed in the last time that I had been in Athlone, and is very central to the town. While my standards for walkability are wildly different than most people's (I wouldn't decline a walking trip to Roscommon, for example), I felt like the town as a whole had a very accessible vibe and the location of this hotel was very conducive to that ideal.
I had contacted reservations for a stay and was told there was no corporate rate available and that there was only one room left and given rack rate. I was unable to book this and when I happened to look for another place in Athlone I came across on booking. com five rooms available at a lower rate. I was annoyed by this as I am aware that the hotel has oversight on this. Lady on reception was excellent and ensured I had the same consecutive room for both nights.
This is my 2nd time to stay here, and I always enjoy staying here. There are always plenty of spaces in the car park upon arrival. The checking in process is simple. The rooms are very spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. The large TV in each room also has loads of TV channels to view. The staff are very polite and courteous, and it definitely beats other 5 star hotels that I have stayed in. I will always stay here, whenever I am in Athlone.
Staff were great and very friendly and talkative, clean, free parking, good location for everything in Athlone, Sean's Bar included. Nice river views from some of the rooms.
The restaurant was tastey, good service and the prices were not extortionate as one might expect from a hotel restaurant. My rare steak was cooked to perfection!
Did I mention how close it is to Seans bar? You must visit it, it's why I stayed here!
Breakfast included special yogurt and locally cured ham. Great breads. Meeting Nancy at breakfast was special. As we were leaving, she came out to join Jim in wishing us well as we continued our journey across Ireland. Also enjoyed learning about the success of the family business, Woodfit Acoustics, now run by two Denby sons. The woodwork in the house is beautiful.
The receptionists was friendly and greeted me and my family warmly, we had dinner all the nights we stayed and every night the meals was exceptional and the added bonus parking at the hotel was FREE and in the area was a grocery, cafe, pharmacy and fast food place it was perfect for us. The rooms was clean and comfortable and the cleaning staff was so nice.
Excellent hospitality in the Radisson Blu Athlone.
Warm welcome on check in and a surprise upgrade to Business Class

I look forward to returning to this fantastic hotel. 10/10
The room was large spacious twin room. Very Clean and excellent views.
Hotel reception and staff are very helpful and friendly
The Hotel itself, is spotless and is located right inside the new town shopping centre.
Wonderful location for shoppers or for business persons.
The location is excellent for water sports and relaxation. About 7 minutes from Athlone Town and lots of parking available. The staff although very young, strive to make you feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for any of them they are the hotels biggest asset.
So clean and quiet. Stayed for a wedding in Athlone. Taxi was about 14euro each way and we had no problems getting one in and out.
Comfy rooms with bice spacious ensuites. Grounds are fantastic. Exceptional value for money compared to the hotels in the town 10/10
The room was spacious and very cozy. It felt very much "at home", and I enjoyed that feeling versus a sterile hotel feeling. The host provided a wonderful breakfast, and when my partner was feeling nauseous, they allowed me to bring up breakfast to him on a tray.
The location was right in the heart of Athlone and within a 5 min walk of the river and the old castle. From the hotel you has a great selection of Pubs and restaurants. One of the oldest Pubs in Ireland is neat the castle and it only a 5 min walk away.
Hotel is right in the middle of athlone, and had parking on-site. Hotel was spacious and generally very clean.
Breakfast was plentiful and really good.
Amazing shower and really comfortable bed
Some of the staff were so friendly and helpful.
Absolutely fantastic hotel, with the most amazing and helpful staff, to the night staff that was working, durning the early hours of Tuesday morning, thank you so much for helping with my son, you showed amazing compassion toward our family
Great stay, the owner is really one of a kind person that helps you in each requests and it is a pleasure to talk with.
The hotel and the breakfast are a real taste of Ireland, super recommended for a trip in Athlone!
Overall, myself and my partner really enjoyed our stay in athlone springs hotel, the staff were lovely and made us feel really welcome here and the food was 10/10, I would definitely recommend this hotel to others :)
It was so dreamy & dog friendly. The golf course should win an award or be on the top 10 golf course of Ireland. The resort itself was absolutely perfect in so many ways. Our family will be back.
Location was great for launching my boat at the adjacent slipway. It's a lively hotel - but comfortable. We enjoyed our one night stay. The breakfast was great!
