Top Athlone Hotel Reviews

Hodson Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in beautiful surroundings. Spotless clean throughout. Staff are lovely and extremely helpful. Had a issue with our room when we booked in but it was sorted out quickly by the lovely General Manager James and his staff. Food very good. Would highly recommend. Would advise ringing the hotel before you book if you require an accessible/Wheelchair user room and required number of beds in the room. They have a few. We stayed in a room on the second floor near the spa, while its a fairly accessible room (Still work to be done) it is a very, very long distance from hotel. bar, restaurant and breakfast room. Too far for a person with a disability or anyone using walking aids, crutches ect. Overall had a very pleasant stay and will return in the future"
