Talbot Hotel Carlow

We recently stayed in the Talbot hotel in Carlow, the evening before attending a wedding in Ballykealy. When booking, I had requested a quiet room , at the end of the corridor if at all possible. A bonus would have been the top floor. The receptionist Tufah was so gracious and welcoming. I was delighted that the hotel had made a note of my request and accommodated me in a room as requested. I appreciate that this isn’t always possible so it was wonderful. As a particularly poor sleeper, it was important to me. I was so happy to be accommodated on the top floor! The room was spotless and spacious. I loved the amount of space in the bathroom, especially in terms of places to put toiletries etc. We dined in the bar and the food was delicious and plentiful.  Breakfast the next morning was delicious, with plenty of choice. I was really impressed with the hotel and left looking forward to a return stay two nights later. Our second stay didn’t disappoint.  Julius on reception assured me of a quiet room- and that is what we got. We arrived quite late in the evening and Martin, the night porter quickly and efficiently checked us in. Our room was a mirror image of the previous stay, and again I slept really well. In the early morning my husband visited the leisure centre and enjoyed his swim. He found the staff to be friendly and helpful. This is something that we really appreciated during our two brief stays- courteous and friendly staff who excel at their job. We both look forward to staying there again in the future. 😊

Just home from a family weekend stay and couldn’t fault the hotel on anything which is rare for me to say ! From the lovely girls at reception at check in and right across the hotel , staff wise they couldn’t do enough for you ! Very accommodating and always checking if everything was ok. The food breakfast and the dinner was beautiful. The bedrooms was lovely , very clean but the beds were sooo comfy we all commented on them, also loved the wee treat left in the room , crunchie Friday we will definitely return

The friendliest stuff I have ever encountered in any hotel. There was a plate of macaroon cakes left in our room along with a lovely note wishing us a happy wedding anniversary. We were treated like royalty. We arrived after nine with the chef was still happy to stay open just to feed us. You don’t get this type of service very often.

I stayed with my family for three nights, it was amazing 😊 from the time I checked in until the time I checked out it was unbelievable the reception staff are fantastic at their jobs. The food and beverage staff are good and the staff in the Dome were phenomenal, I dealt with the duty Manager Tony and his work colleague Brandon they were outstanding at their jobs the customer service skills were fantastic they always served with a smile and a lot of patience, they made sure our memories and experiences were well worth making and put our minds at ease all the time the staff in the Congo quest and the kids club are fantastic, lots of patience, kind, caring and lots of fun. 🙂🙂 Would highly recommend this hotel and cannot wait to go back 😊

Definitely a 4 star hotel, staff friendly n the food beautiful n not over priced, bedrooms clean comfortably n warm. Definitely will be returning early next year when they have the deals on

Stayed here for my cousins wedding and we all had a great time,staff very friendly and could not do enough for us,great hotel
