A really mixed visit. The reception staff we encountered were so friendly and helpful. They were brilliant with our young daughter and even let us check out late so she could have her nap before we left and had to drive home to Dublin. We are in the bar and the staff were a bit mixed. We were so disappointed with the food. It was over €90 for x2 adult one course meals (one being a salad), a child’s one course meal and x2 drinks each for myself and my husband. I barely ate my food, the chicken wasn’t heated up properly and I had concerns about my daughter’s meal also. We didn’t get a chance to share the feedback as had to rush away to change our daughter. The breakfast staff weren’t super friendly but they were at least helpful when we asked for something. The leisure centre was good, with access to the pool and towels/ free lockers welcome. We stayed during the heatwave and the common areas/ restaurants/ reception are well air conditioned. The bedrooms were not and it was a really big problem for us having a young child. The room was 31 degrees for the night as measured on our baby monitor. We had x1 fan in the room, and when requested, the staff did kindly bring us a second one, but it was still beyond too hot. There is only 1 small window that only opens a tiny bit in the room so there was no air circulating. One other thing to note was there were no shower hats in the room which we found strange.

Hotel room was extremely hot: NO AC which may be fine except during July temperatures. We had to sleep on top of the covers with the drapes open and the window open just to try and get some cool air. Traffic noise and lighting from the parking lot affected our sleep. It just wasn't a positive experience. The hotel lobby has AC but not the rooms. We were sweating in the middle of the night. A major hotel chain in the 21st c. needs to upgrade and get AC.

We had a 3 night stay in the Talbot Hotel.
The staff were friendly, helpful and professional.
We asked for a fridge for our room to put cold drinks in and when we came back it was there plugged in for us. The staff are truly exceptional. The breakfast was excellent with such a variety on offer. We had dinner too and the roast beef was wonderful. Great location for visiting Clonmel with a bus stop outside and only 10 minutes into town for €1.50 each. We would highly recommend it for a great stay. Bring your swimming things for a dip in the pool(swimming hat needed) hot tub, sauna and steam room, fabulous start to the day. We will be coming back.

The staff was very friendly and would go out of their way to make sure you had the best stay possible.

The only downside was I couldn’t figure out how to turn the fan on in the bathroom. I looked everywhere for a switch but it is probably there and I just couldn’t find it. Also, the TV remove I couldn’t get it to turn the sound up or down but perhaps remotes are different in Ireland and I just don’t know the way to do it. Either way, it was a great experience.

Second time staying here and unfortunately, service is lacking and needs a complete overhaul.

Checking in offers no warmth or personal touch. Seems like customer service training would be welcomed to match other hotels like the Doyle collection.

Notices still up in lift about boil water service and gym pool bring closed which both were outdated.

Fridge wasn't working in the room which suggests the room wasn't properly checked or maintained by housekeeping. Had to ask for new fridge to be delivered at 10:30pm.

Several notices placed on room door to have it cleaned, served, fire safety and economy savings which was confusing. Resulted in room not being cleaned. Had to ask 3 times in person and via phone. While I understand there was a mix up, the service is questionable. Would have preferred a phone call informing me what happened to rectify rather than chasing down the staff. No breakfast menu in room upon arrival so had to search online. Again, an easy fix but unfortunately this was missed.

Service on wheat Bar also needs attention. No menus on tables, have to ask for service to order food. Just needs more attention to the customer so you're not wondering if you order at the bar or tell servers. Please note....all glasses at the bar didn't appear to be going through hot enough water and soap to get cleaned and most glasses had stains and smudges on them. Not a huge deal but something to look at as it can turn your stomach.

Please do better.

Beautiful room and hotel, very secure and comfortable with lots of takeaways and coffee shops adjacent, the breakfast was lovely and the only issue I could name was that it was incredibly warm in the room, however the hotel does provide a Dyson fan which was a great benefit while pointed directly at us but it really didn’t cool the room at all, and while trying to sleep is far too loud. Air con would be a massive bonus on warmer days, but aside from that 5* accommodation and we will 100% return, especially given the standard for the price point.

I would not stay here again. The hotel is beautiful, parking is easy and free, staff were lovely, and the on-site restaurant was very nice. Our rooms were beautiful -- the only problem being that they were VERY hot. We stayed in early summer, and the high temperatures the days leading up to our stay were low-20s (as in, not a heat wave). But our first floor rooms felt like they were 30'C all night. The hotel rooms have no HVAC (no ventilation system; just radiator heating) and the window only opens 2\". They gave us a small fan, which made it barely tolerable. The entire first floor was very warm. We were all miserable the next morning. It's a shame because the property is gorgeous.

Large and clean room

Staying in a newly refurbished room on the 3rd floor, everything was fresh and clean (though the pattern on the new carpet makes it look a bit threadbare in places).
The fish and chips dinner was large and well cooked but the apple crumble dessert was disappointing as it was a small tart that seemed to have just been warmed up in a microwave and the ‘smudge’ of custard on the plate was barely enough to fill a teaspoon.
Breakfast was plentiful and top quality, service for both dinner and breakfast was excellent.

The hotel has been going through updates since it changed hands a couple years ago. The floor I stayed on was updated and very comfortable. They started to renovate the third floor while I was there so there was a bit of noice. I was advised when I booked that this was happening. The noice was kept to working hours and it was not too bad. The area that you get breakfast needs to have an update done, it looks like it had some paint and wall paper done a bit ago but it needs a renovation as it is outdated. The restaurant/bar/coffee shop has a buffet /carvery but the menu does not meet the needs for vegetarian or Vegan without substitutions. The bar layout is chopped up a bit. We sat one night and we waited for 10 min and no wait staff came over as they did not know we were there so we moved to a different table so they could see us to get served . After 6pm a different menu is served as the buffet shuts down. The hotel has an amazing gym and pool area with steam and dry sauna. Overall the hotel and staff are amazing.

A mixed experience

Angelika is an excellent, friendly and efficient receptionist. Our room was spacious and light. The bedroom furniture was old, brown, dated and had definitely seen better days. The bed was comfortable. There was an unpleasant aroma in the bathroom. It took a very long time for the hot water to come through to the basin in the evening, which wasted a lot of it.
The food in the restaurant was excellent and fairly priced. On the first evening there was an experienced team of professional waiters, including a Manager, Dean, who is one of the best we've met. We had a lovely evening. On the second evening there was no apparent leadership and the waiters were inexperienced. Although they worked hard, they needed direction and the service was a shambles. From our arrival to the serving of the food took an hour. Our drinks didnt come, so we collected them from the bar ourselves.
At breakfast, Geraldine was a professional, hard working and friendly supervisor. They were understaffed, but on both mornings she made sure the service ran well.
There is plenty of free parking at the hotel. We appreciated that breakfast was served until 11 am at weekends and also the 12 noon checkout time.

Clean and modern hotel. Reception and gym staff were superb. Gym was very good with absolute top-of-the-range equipment - specifically two Concept 2 Rowers and one of each of the Watt Bike models. One C2 was out of batteries but both were immaculately clean and well serviced (185 Max DF for those who know) - as were both WattBikes.

Room was good with very good shower although hot water needs to be a little hotter for a safe wet shave. Large bed was firm and comfortable.

Food was the only thing that let it down. Poor choice of vegetarian options and breakfast was limited (not even porridge) and quality not great (dry).

Because of the gym, we would DEFINITELY stay again - although eat elsewhere for meals and breakfast.
