Talbot Hotel Carlow Review

Such an amazing hotel service is outstanding and great value.

Friendly staff, good price, good breakfast, nice rooms
Small repairs in the room could be made, but is not bad, only small "beauty defects".

Good hotel at the outskirts of Carlow town. Good place for a drink with friends, food was good, staff friendly and efficient. 4 stars rating because of car parking in front of the hotel....a bit too small and busy. (I don't know if Talbot hotel has another car park or not) Did not use rooms as i was at celebration there in evening/night hours.

Rooms are spacious, really comfy beds and bedding. Food is beautiful and very generous portions and choices. We stayed with complimentary breakfast and 3 course dinners. Staff were all lovely and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Always a nice hotel for a work night. Staff always nice.

Nice hotel. The carvery was good value but lacked a selection of roast meats on the menu

Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was basic but it was 79

Carvery was efficient and quality food. Good parking.

Place is nice food is lovely but not pool some disaster

Food was terrible leisure facilities were extremely wet and dirty wouldn't go back if you paid me

The hotel was lovely and the staff were very friendly Patrick in the bar was very helpful our room was very spacious as i am disabled so the hotel is very good for disabled people so myself and my wife would highly recommend it

Lovely hotel, very helpful staff, great kids club, really enjoyed our stay, excellent rates food was fab, definitely coming back

Went there for college ball. Absolute shambles. No choice with food yet it was awful. Chicken was more like a brick. Terrible. Drink way overpriced and served in plastic glasses.

Staff friendly but very slow on service when coming back to take order. Room very spacious and clean but TV did not work. Breakfast was good. Evening Bar food menu very good but menu in the restaurant could do with lot more choice for evening meals. Hotel very easy to find and the town center is only a few minutes drive. All in all not a bad hotel to stay in.

Food was nice. Nice rooms. Location isn't great. People are lovely. Kids club is good.

Nice hotel on the outskirts of the town. Clean and modern.

Never mind coffee, you got to try the hot chocolate here. Absolutely delicious! The bar is loud and lively so if a quiet chat is more your thing, the lobby offers very comfortable seating areas. For dining the value is certainly competitive and food is good quality. Half portion of most dish are available depending on your requirements.

This was my first visit at the Talbot I was attending my nephews wedding, unfortunately or food arrived cold, we complained but it was ignored, complained again to staff manager but it was too late to except a replacement, personally I wouldn't visit again.

Friendly staff, excellent food, very good gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room.

Noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in across any county or country. It is now 5am I have phoned reception twice once at 2am once at 5 am to ask if something can be done about the noise from 3 other rooms that we are unfortunate enough to be sharing the same floor with. To be fair a member of staff has come up twice but as soon as they leave the shouting and slamming of doors starts again so unfair as I am sure I have paid the same amount for my room as these other guests have. Booked a party package music and food good and staff pleasant but I definitely won't be back would have got more sleep in a train station.

Having a few pints with my Dublin friends and watching the Rugby. Happy days.

Nice hotel, good size parking and easy access. Staff were professional and courteous. Food served was very good and they delivered to the room where we had a meeting. Layout of the hotel was a little weird and not the easiest to get around.

Hotel itself alright from my opinion, but it's strange thinks in that hotel, like: fire alarm tasting 7:45am on Sunday. And when I asked in reception I was told that what they always do don't worry nothing serious.
Then before leaving hotel we decided to relax in sauna and swimming pool. And that was my biggest mistake! Even walking from reception to changing rooms facilities looks like after bombing, materials from selling, and walls falling down. Carpet looks like never was hovered.
Not better in changing rooms. Floors covered in mood, paper rubbish, napkins to youngsters staff to busy in reception chatting about weekend but to a bit cleaning to much for them.lockers can't be locked. in reception I was told that you have to bring your own pad lock. If some facilities using lockers locked by paddlock you can rent them in reception, but not in carlow talbot hotel.
Stem room- chewing gum on floors every where. Timber boards loose and rotten, pieces of wood falling down. Cold shower, beside sauna, to run shower you have to hold button all the time, steel protection around button hanging loose. When I requested to see manager (Michael I think that how he introduced himself)Looks like he have no clue what is going on in this part of the building, he started explaining that lockers you can buy or rent in gym reception (which is not), chewing gum he said he never saw it, sellings he said yes it have to be fixed ( at least hower floors). Because of this experience I can say
TALBOT HOTEL CARLOW worst place I experienced in Ireland. I bin in wexford Talbot, Dublin it's like day and night. Wexford is not biggest town also but stadarts in wexford and carlow can be compared.
Swimming facilities have to be shut down for breaching health and safety standards

It was lovely food was great and the rooms are lovely and clean my mother and father are there this week and the beer in the bar was not good they won't be going back 27 2 19

Lovely place very friendly food lovely and gym excellent and pool

Nice clean hotel, excellent friendly service. A nice bar serving good food and located 20 minute walk from town centre. I was given family room which was perfect good size for buggy and young child

Was at a wedding reception and the service was unsatisfactory the food was bland and unexciting maybe it was a once of will try again and repost. however on a positive note the rooms were lovely and very comfortable and would stay here again just was not happy with the food

Very modern hotel, location ideal for meetings.
Staff were nice but always very busy and could be left waiting to be attended.

I stayed at this hotel with majestic coach tours . The rooms were clean and well kept but the shower in the bathroom was poor the shower head needed attention . Clean towels were provided each day they were small but clean . The public area were clean and the staff very hard working . The meals were good but did arrive in an erratic way due to the number of people being served .the gym and pool were average in line with council run facilities but the staff were polite . The Jacuzzi needs some attention to be given to the drainage area around it . My stay was comfortable and the beds very comfortable very good hotel for a short stay .

Reasonable price, rooms very nice and big. Food was amazing!!!! Worth going for the food alone. Only issue was that out tap in both rooms were a little air locked, spluttering water but enjoyed the stay overall

Lovely hotel friendly staff and great having the Dome next door for the kids to entertain. Kids club also seemed to be great. Its close to Carlow centre few mins drive. On a recent the only negative was waiting long time for food in bar area. Also pool not suitable for small children it has no kids pool. A kids pool for me would make this hotel an excellent one.

Attended a wedding here recently, have to say the location, staff and food are second to none. Excellent day out. Well worth a stay there, rooms were big and spotless

Lovely.food at reasonable prices. Excellent service. Our room was very clean and modern. Accessible which suited my needs. Most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. I will be staying here again

Just checking it out my daughter is having her wedding there next year

Child friendly, great food, clean bedroom, gym, pool, lovely staff

Great service at the carvery, not very expensive and the staff are very polite.

Brilliant food and staff amazing . will be back thanks for everything had a great time

Lovely place, friendly staff beautiful food and plenty of parking space.

Great place to stay, lovely staff all round, especially in the bar & Restaurant

We got married in the Talbot Hotel in Carlow in July this year.

Our wedding day was made so very special for us by all the Staff ,down to every last detail before during and after our day. We found everyone we met along the way to be professional and extremely friendly.

Our Wedding meal was exceptional, full of flavour and so fresh, so much so that some of our guests had more than one helping :).

The wedding suite is amazing, we just loved it.

Thank You all for making our Wedding day That extra bit special.

David and Steph.

Just stayed in this hotel and loved everything about it. The food was amazing, the homemade Lazagne was some of the best I've ever tasted. The room service was reasonably priced and delivered promptly. The stand out of this hotel is the staff, we were greeted by Amanda who did everything she could to accommodate our earlier check in time and assisted us with our queries on the local area. Megan part of the bar staff was so friendly and was constantly buzzing around helping customers. I would highly recommend this hotel if you're going to Carlow. The location is also perfect it's a 3 minute drive from the town. Best value for money I've seen in a while. Well done team on top notch service, I hope to return soon.

Left some things behind in the bathroom, when I called to ask staff to hold on to them for me, they told me nothing was left in the room.

Warm,friendly excellent service,good value for food specials

Top class hotel. All amenities available and swimming pool.

Talbot hotel Carlow location out of town beside business park friendly staff food not great rooms o k

I really want to share our wonderful experience at this hotel, from arriving, to having dinner, the music in the bar and the very friendly professional staff everything was just perfect . We booked the interconnecting rooms which were very spacious and clean, our 3 children enjoyed the pool while I had my hair done in the salon...it was a great start to a long week end....
Thank you so much for the amazing experience and we hope to be back soon
Regards Debbie

Too loud. Hotel itself is good .Nice and helpful staff but way to noisy! You need sound proof walls!!!

Was fantastic staff were great food was excellent would definitely recommend it

Staff so nice and helpful food lovely and great value for money loved it stayed 3 maybe 4 times there highly recommend loved it

Typically bland hotel decor but clean. Staff are very nice and good amenities for kids. Decent hotel.

A fine venue for a wedding or weekend break. If I get married again" ha ha" its on the list.

I would give this place a zero if i could. I have seldom in my life been treated as rudely as I was here. We arrived for our reservation, waited while two staff waited on other people, then one staff person waited on a woman who arrived after us while the other pretended to be reading papers. We waited for the other staff to help the woman who arrived after us, which took quite some time...... We left.

Lovely hotel, staff very friendly and accommodating

Stopped for a meal, it was okay wouldn't recommend it.

Great place for a little get away, really good for kids, lots of things to do and great value

Lovely hotel, lovely rooms, but we were located right beside the elevator and didn't get any sleep, such a pity
