Wed Sept 3
the hotel itself was nice. town was beautiful.
While eating our meal- (mine had a hair in it. Nothing was done when I reported it \"my apologizes\")
my observations....
There was a party of some sort going on. they disrupted other diners by blocking a door open on a chilly night.
The REAL problem was a child that was part of the party grabbed a handful of paper straws off the bar and put them in her mouth. THEN put all but 1 back in the straw container on the bar. I mentioned this to the bartender and to who I thought was the manager on duty. The bartender removed the straws but did not throw them away- just removed them to the back of the bar. I was watching to see what was going to be done.
Unacceptable by anyone's standards!
We left the dining room immediately! Sad because we were enjoying ourselves in your lovely hotel & town.

Noise was off the charts, but breaky was great

The noise level was off the charts and they couldn’t do anything about it on a Sat night. From kids running between rooms slamming doors and yelling in the hallways even after telling them to please be quiet is wild enough from 9:30-11:30pm, but we were not told that we have a room right above the restaurant and that they play live music until 11:15pm some nights including the night we were there. It vibrates through the floor and even with ear plugs, it was loud enough to sing to the lyrics. We would have changed rooms knowing that because we had an early start. I understand this is a hotel and there are many noise factors, but there has to be some level of expectation towards people’s comfort. They should invest in soundproofing their ceiling in the restaurant long term or warn people upfront short term. The foyer was pretty and has a beautiful perfume spray. The breakfast in the morning was top notch. The finishes in the room and hallways don’t match the age of the foyer and restaurant but I’m sure they will Reno eventually. Our room smelled like cigarette smoke also, which was off putting, but thankful my parents didn’t get that room because my Mom is allergic to it.

Brilliant staff and food, pool was just ok

Staff and service was great the down fall was the small family rooms with one small window that could not open the full way there was a fan in the room but didn’t really help with the heat.the pool is very small no kids pool as advertised, there is a fitness class on every morning from 9-10 am which take over the pool but guest are not informed of this before hand which means guests can’t really access the pool till after 10 am and are left waiting at the side of the pool if you don’t know this. Lockers in dressing rooms were broken was had to find one that locked.

Very disappointed with kids club!!!

Very poor standard of family room. Just a regular room with two extra beds thrown in. Unbelievably warm on third floor even with window open and fan on, very uncomfortable. Advertises a kids club every night during summer, yet when we enquired they said they had to check it was on. Unfortunately it was on, and we sent our 5 and 6 year old there to be left without a drink in a soft play centre with no organised activities. Left to run around for 1.5 hours with not as much as water offered. Paid 10 euro per child extra for them to dine with Talbot Tiger - who didn’t show up for them, and surprise surprise no drink with their meal. Thank god we collected them early, as our 5 year old downed a 500ml of water the minute we picked her up and had been asking her older brother to ask them for a drink, but he was too shy as he thought he needed money. Kids of that age shouldn’t have to ask, they should be reminded to hydrate when running around a soft play “supervised”. The staff of the hotel are absolutely fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us including reception and bar staff - but overall I don’t know where the four stars come from. 240 euro for a Saturday night in a squashed “family” room in unbearable heat.

Our hotel experience

The hotel staff were excellent. The food was very good. The room was comfortable (accessible room) but could do with refresh. The carpet was quite stained in places, the tiles on floor of shower were sharp around the drain, the shower taps were roughly fixed to shower wall and very difficult to turn off, there was no air-conditioning in bedroom, no safe, and key card kept failing. The hotel also offered an indoor pool. However, it was always so busy as the hotel opens it up to non - residents. It was mainly full of children so not relaxing.

A Treat of a Stay

From arrival until departure the team at the Talbot I found the team to be warm, professional and attuned. Their service appeared effortlessly seamless.
The bedroom was spacious and I had a lovely sleep in my super comfy bed, on gorgeous pillows. Breakfast was generous and tasty.

The corridors to the bedroom could do with a refresh but other than that the Talbot Hotel was a treat of a stay!

Lovely well kept hotel. Rooms are getting tired however the downstairs and communal areas are beautifully well kept. The cleaners do a fantastic job.

The restaurant food was good although the chips were undercooked each time we had them. The breakfast was beautiful all three mornings - not one complaint!

The reception staff were lovely, bright and friendly. The restaurant staff were friendly except one chap who seemed very stressed and short when we asked for a simple table of four. All in all a wonderful stay. Thank you for having us.

Second time staying at the Talbot. Our previous stay in June was really good and so I decided to book again for this trip. Overall the hotel is nice with a newly opened bar and restaurant area. Rooms are spacious with 2 beds and a decent bathroom.
This stay unfortunately we noticed some areas which could do with improvement. On arrival (6pm) there were no staff to be seen. We stood at reception for quite a few minutes before a passing staff member went through the back and a receptionist came out. The receptionist was really lovely so this made up for the wait. We were given room 405. On the way to the room we were shocked by the state on the carpets which looked like they had been splattered with bleach all the way up the corridor. Not good for a four star hotel.
The room also had a large stain on the floor which looked like coffee and a strange smell. This soon went with the window open.
The following day we needed a second key card. Again no one on reception so we had another wait till a cleaner went and got a receptionist out.
The following morning we were woken by a smoke alarm going off twice and when it stopped a letter placed under the door stating someone on your floor has been smoking and if they find you smoking in the room you will be charged for the deep cleaning of the room etc. This sounded very accusatory. Considering myself and my husband have never smoked we felt offended by such a letter.
Unfortunately I don’t think we will chose the Talbot again.

Was staying for the community games. Music in the Bar til 12 and although we where staying in the 3rd floor you could hear it pretty loudly. Coffee for breakfast was seved in a pot. I requested a 2nd and the lady serving said I already had one. She never came back and when i spoke to her colleague, she told me the other person had left. Surprised at 7,30am that Cereal sever bowls where empty and little or no GF cereal. Service didn't give a great impression. Not worth the price, but we had little choice with the community games taking place in Carlow.

We were very pleased with our room which was very large. I assume it was wheelchair access because of bathroom. The only minor downside was the shower curtain. I am not a fan of shower curtains. Staff were exceptionally friendly and a great choice for breakfast.

Fantastic

The main floor restaurant was fantastic. Our server Emilija was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. We were there at the soft opening and the atmosphere was inviting.
The room was wonderful and clean and inviting.

It was a lovely hotel, fine spacious room. The only drawback was that it was a 25 mins walk into town. We were told that the carvery was finished at 4pm on the sat & when we went up it was just finished at 2.30. I should not have had it then because it was cold & the fish was leathery. The food on Friday night in the bar however was lovely. The staff were very friendly & helpful.
