Nice hotel in a handy location on the outskirts for anyone visiting Carlow. You’ll find many more scenic hotels but for a place to stay 5 minutes from the town centre it had all we needed, breakfast was very nice too.

Got a 2 night stay with meals for my parents as a Christmas present staff made it very easy for me to do this with a couple of emails due to card used for payment not obviously being physically there on check in. Parents enjoy their stay. This will be my go to for future birthdays and Christmas etc. Highly recommend

Had a lovely experience at the hotel. Dinner and breakfast were first class. A hotel is only as good as it’s staff and we found everyone to be very welcoming and friendly. Reception staff, bar and restaurant staff and leisure centre and pool staff were all brilliant! Rooms were clean and not too hot. Would definitely recommend this hotel

I stayed with my family (4 of us in total). The room we stayed in was clean and modern. It wasn't as big as some family rooms we had in the past,it was basically a triple room with a camp bed. The hotel itself is a little bit outside the town, but only about a five minute drive. Food was good,we ate in the bar. Some of the bar furniture could do with being reupholstered. The area which needs the most work is the changing rooms for the pool. Doors missing off lockers,paint peeling and generally run down looking. Also no wet kit bags available. Overall a nice place to stay.

My recent stay at the Talbot Hotel was really enjoyable. I stayed in a room on my own but travelled down with my extended family. Together we had mix of family rooms and mix of singles and couples having rooms. On arrival we where greeted by lovely staff and although rooms where not ready at the time as we arrived early, when I did check in the lady at the desk was very welcoming and friendly. My room was booked at for 1 person and was very large and spacious with a double and single bed, table & chair set plus a desk. Both the room and bathroom where clean. The heat in room was very hot but once turned off the radiator it was great. We ate lunch, breakfast and a dinner during our stay. Breakfast was really good and would recommend. Sadly the restaurant was not open during the week so we had the bistro. The menu was mixed and food was nice. We ate 2nd night in the town and would recommend venturing away from hotel for other options if staying a few nights as lovely pubs and restaurants to choose from and not far from the hotel. The dome next door was great as was the pool facilities downstairs as we had a number of kids in our family so great to have things to do during the day. Also the kids club in the evenings was a nice surprise for the parents.…

Dear Nathalie, Thank you for your 5 star review. I am delighted to see overall you enjoyed your stay with us. Great to see you were greeted warmly by our wonderful Reception team, you can always be guaranteed a smile when you enter our doors. Our rooms are of excellent quality and with the recent addition of some upgraded soft furnishings have had some excellent feedback. I am glad to see you enjoyed our breakfast, we worked hard on improving our offering this year and the steady flow of positivity surrounding breakfast is very encouraging. In the off season our restaurant doesn't open midweek however if you return to us in the summer months it would be open 7 days. Good to see our menu impressed in our bistro and thank you for your feedback here. We are very much supporters of the local food and beverage network and I am glad to see you had the time to venture in to Carlow and experience some of the excellent Bars and restaurants on our doorstep. Our Dome and kids club are of excellent quality and good to see you had time to enjoy both. Thank you again for your review and I look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind Regards, Daniel McCarthy, General Manager.
