A lovely stay
Pros:

A beautiful room overlooking the River Shannon so amazing views. A very comfortable bed, lovely and quiet, and a good shower. Weather was warm when we stayed and windows don't open very wide so room was pretty warm but a fan was provided so all was good. A very enjoyable stay overall.

Cons:

Nothing

In die Jahre gekommen, schöne Lage
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage, sehr nettes Personal, reichhaltiges Frühstück, sehr schicke Zimmerkarten aus dünnem Sperrholz

Cons:

Das Zimmer - wir hatten laut Angabe das Glück des Upgrades auf Superior - fanden wir allenfalls "Standard", und selbst dafür etwas zu sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Bett mit spürbaren Federn, Türstopper im Bad zum Stolpern, Fenstergriffe klebrig, Scheiben nicht geputzt, insgesamt nicht wirklich gut gereinigt.

Pros:

Reception staff and accomadation/bedroom staff were excellent and very welcoming. We had a light lunch and it was lovely also . I would definitely go back as we had such a lovely room with a view .

Cons:

As i am in the hospitality industry myself i would probably observe more then someone that doesnt but Was disappointed when we went for breakfast there were no pastries muffins etc . Hot Buffet has no beans or mushroom. This was 25 to 10. I do know breakfast finished at 10 but would expect it to be fully stocked until then . Also it took a long time to get a drink in bar which was not busy at the times we were there. .

Okay und wieder buchbar. Man weiß, was man bekommt.
Pros:

Das Radisson liegt zentral, Restaurants und Pubs sind fußläufig bequem erreichbar. Der Standard des Hotels ist ansprechend.

Cons:

Die Terrasse am Fluss wird eher vernachlässigt, trotz des Potentials. Zumal man bei gutem Wetter den Gästen eine exzellente Outdoor Location anbieten könnte.
