Great spot. Really enjoyed using the pool.
The breakfast was ok but for a foir star hotel it eas very self service. Not enough staff on. Toaster very poor food was ok but i thpught the whole exprtience was too kiotic the tea was cold having to race around trying to find thinhs that should be more easily available. We just felt it needed alot of refimment
I felt the food on the bar was good but patchy. Selection on the menu was very Poor and presentation left it dpwn alot. Service on the second night was very poor. Staff are very frendly and helpfull i just think the whole thing neefs alot of tefinement.
Struttura pulita, camera molto grande, staff super disponibile. Si mangia molto bene
Nulla, era tutto ottimo!
Breakfast was very good.

Nice location, EV charger available, awesome breakafast (with vegan options)
Expensive for what it offers
La chambre vue sur le lac dans la partie de l’hôtel réservée aux adultes… une merveille Le personnel est très accueillant et sympathique
Lovely stay, rooms very clean, food was amazing, beautiful views
Great location for families travelling Ireland, and friends, loved the resturants, breakfast amazing , had a great steak dinner, beautiful scenery as tour on a lake
Lovely setting
It’s beautiful, well maintained, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, the view of the bay was gorgeous, the rooms and cozy and comfortable and look recently updated.
Es war alles perfekt
Ausblick über den See und Frühstück im Zimmer
Alles gut
Located well outside Athlone, on the Lough. Large, well appointed room with a double and a single. This is a fairly big hotel with a spa with a great pool. Choice of a restaurant or bar food. Very nice and professional staff. An extensive choice for breakfast, very well cooked and presented.
Staff were very friendly and helpful and very hard working
The room view was very disappointing looking out onto a heating system or something of that nature which made a lot of noise
It was a very beautiful hotel, on a gorgeous setting, the staff were all lovely and were so friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Beds were unbelievably comfortable. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The only thing I didn’t like was that I couldn’t stay longer.
Beautifully situated hotel. Clean and extremely comfortable bed. Nice friendly staff and excellent breakfast.

Leaving
The location was great
It was over stretched
We had a really good stay.the.food, staff ,room and facilities were very good .we would stay there again
No air con in the room.otherwise excellent
Spacious comfortable accomodation
Would have liked a more varied menu in main restaurant with a greater choice of mains.
EXCEPTIONNEL ! On ne pouvait rêver mieux ! On a passé seulement 24h, mais parfaites !
Je ferais une piscine Adult Only car les enfants qui jouent font beaucoup de bruit et c'est dommage il faudrait un lieu piscine sauna que pour les adultes car même dans le sauna ou hammam nous entendons les cris MAIS c'est juste pour faire un retour c'est la seule chose à redire et qui n'est pas non plus dérangeante énormément c'est un léger axe d'amélioration
Great food Great location Spotless hotel The bedrooms have everything. Best 4 star hotel ive stayed in. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Will be back!
Hotel a bit spread out. Staff/chef knowledge of Gluten free meals can be improved upon.
Lovely location with a good buzz.

Nothing I didn’t like
Loved the location Very smooth check in and booking restaurants at time of checking was very handy Loved the cocktail making class Good was very nice Staff very friendly and helpful
There was nothing I didn't like
The breakfast and the dinners were fabulous. The location was great. The staff was very responsive.
The room was small and was not air conditioned during a very hot Ireland summer.
Fantastic location, in the center of town.
Breakfast wasn’t great . One of the bar people wasn’t happy that we asked for a drink 5 minutes before closing
Location
Tired rooms
Cadre superbe.
Éloignement de tout.
We found the general hotel very clean, the food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Unfortunately we didn't realise that not upgrading to a lake view room would mean we were left with a view of a rusty ventilation system and a dirty window. The room was also not as modern as described on the website. If we would have known this we would of upgraded to the lake view rooms which appear to be the more modern rooms with a nice view. We didnt love the cleanliness of the room, we had dead flies on the inside of our window sill along with some dirt and grime around our bathtub.The rooms are not very sound proof and unfortunately when the guests across the way would close their door, our door would rattle and make a lot of noise. We also had to keep our bathroom door closed because we could hear the next door guests conversation very clearly even though they weren't talking very loudly.
Staff were exceptional. Busy hotel but nothing was trouble.
Not a thing
Très bon rapport qualité prix ! Nous avons eu plaisir à revenir au Hodson Bay Hotel : - Emplacement au calme au bord du lac (une vue magnifiques !) et à proximité d'Athlone - Aile familiale séparée de l'aile réservée aux adultes - Très bon petit-déjeuner buffet (avec 2 choix de salles, l'une pour la vue et une plus au calme) et plusieurs choix de restauration sur place - Grande piscine et salle de sport très bien équipée, avec des activités proposées gratuitement (ex. Aqua aerobics) - Personnel au petit soin, avec une belle belle surprise dans la chambre en arrivant ! - Grande chambre et une baignoire et une douche dans la salle de bains
- Des aliments manquants pendant toute la durée de notre séjour au petit-déjeuner (ex. Nutella, confiture de fraise), avec des assiettes parfois sales - De l'attente au bar, avec parfois un oubli de la part du personnel qui sert d'autres personnes arrivées après nous - Lit un peu trop mou - Des activités annoncées mais aucun créneau proposé lors de notre séjour (ex. Yoga pilates, zumba, spinning) - Un parking un peu petit pour la capacité de l'hôtel et ouvert aux extérieurs, ce qui oblige parfois à tourner pour trouver une place - Il manque des jeux comme des billards, des fléchettes, des jeux de sociétés, des livres...
Loved the hotel.Everything met my expectations. Breakfast fantastic Spa excellent Dinner excellent Booked a superior room in adult only part.well worth it for view and quietness
Only minor thing the carpet in the lift was a bad impression given the standard of rest of hotel.
Location
All was good. Nothing really to complain about!!!
The pool area. We got an upgrade to a fabulous room. The food was good.
On Sunday we were unable, to get a light bite for lunch as it's only Carvery between 12 and 4pm. And there is nowhere near by to go for lunch. Also for busy season I was expecting more evening entertainment for Adults. If you going with small kids there is a kids club.
The whole place was superb.
The everything has all you could want
We booked a lake view suite and there was a view of the roof so very misleading. There was bird poop absolutely everywhere on the window, I get birds poop but this was really bad and obviously built up over time. There was dirty chocolates behind the curtains which showed the room wasn't clean and the latts from under the bed where broken or fallen down. I was told that a manager would call me about this but I never recieved that call. So when I got a email today to leave a review I said I would. It was our first anniversary so we really wanted a nice room. Other than the room the hotel and staff are lovely. We had dinner in the bar on our first night and the food was lovely. Only a short drive into athlone town.
Jacuzzi in the room great views lake location
Nic
Lata świetności hotel na już dawno za sobą
Location. Friendly staff. Cleanliness of the hotel and grounds Guinness !
It was hot weather and lack of air conditioning plus hotel was busy so Long Queue on the Sunday Morning Breakfast
The hotel was well maintained and clean. The room was uodated and nice and spacious.
The parking, hotel guests had to find a space along the road side. They should have preferred parking allocated. The real downside was the breakfast, it was awful, not what a 4 star hotel should offer. We were so disappointed. It reminded me of school canteen, food under a lamp. You couldn’t even order anything all was self serve.
Friendly staff, good food and stunning views of the lake
Breakfast was excellent Good selection
The seating in the seating areas are too low not suitable for some who would have liked to sit and enjoy. Dont want it looking Like a nursing home but higher seating scattered around would be good
Gli spazi comuni la piscina la palestra e il cibo. Io personale molto gentile. Tuttavia servirebbero delle sdraio in piscina o almeno degli attaccapanni per gli asciugamani
Le camere. Ottima la moquette nuova e pulita e persino Non male il mobilio vecchio, ma non sono insonorizzate, si sente tutto ciò che accade fuori, la mattina si sentono i mezzi di servizio fare manovra con le sirene accese, e non c’è asciugamano, né accappatoio né ciabatte.
Location next to the water
The rooms are not air conditioned. We had to ask for a room change after the first night due to the overnight temperature in room 101 as this was directly above the trunking / pipework feeding the hotel. Reception were prompt with allowing the room change to continue the stay.
The location of the hotel on the lake was beautiful and the space outside the hotel was just lovely especially with the hot weather.
It would be great if you were allowed have snack food outside particularly when the weather is changing and we're going to have hot spells like this one. The breakfast room was very crammed and thought the tables were too close to each other.
Amazing hotel, lovely pool, great food
Breakfast was good. The staff were helpful and nice.
Trash was left in the room.
The space in the room, the lake view, the quiet! Dinner options were great. Having Baysports nearby was handy.
The bathroom could do with a little upgrade. Several cracked tiles and the extractor fan didn't work. The breakfast room was very busy and cramped.
Lovely location great breakfast .
Bar food not great
