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!

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.

I booked two days before arrival as a solo traveller. I received an email the morning of arrival to tell me that the leisure Centre wasn't open. I called them to be told that it was closed , probably for the duration of my two night stay. I explained that I was unhappy with this and only booked because I wanted to use the pool etc. Eventually they made enquiries and organised a complimentary use of the pool in another hotel. However I had to book a time and it was only available until 6.30 pm..I would have liked to have use in the evening. The only option open to me was to use it the following morning until lunchtime, as it closed for lunch. This conversation was going on as I was travelling to the hotel. They upgraded me to a suite, which was nice. Breakfast was not included in my package. I ordered breakfast , room service, on my last day and as there was no pen in the room, I had to use my lipstick to mark what I wanted on the list. I didn't ask for a full Irish breakfast but I got one. And was asked to pay for it on the spot!! There was no butter or jam with the breakfast tray. And when it did arrive I was asked to pay again! Before leaving I paid for a full Irish breakfast as I was told that it was what I got! I arrived at the hotel feeling very annoyed and left feeling the same way. Very disappointed with my stay and would recommend calling before you book to ensure that facilities are available as they do not update their website.

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.

Zimmer ohne Klimaanlage, Art der Oberbetten nicht sommerlich, zu dick. Unser Stockwerk wurde renoviert, was eigentlich zu begrüßen wäre, als wir jedoch aus dem Lift ausstiegen sah der Bodenbelag aus als hätte jemand seinen Mülleimer ausgelehrt. Es lagen noch Reste vom abgeschnittenen Teppich und andere Teile der durchgeführten Arbeiten auf dem Boden verteilt. An der Rezeption wurde kein Hinweis gegeben das dort gearbeitet wird. Als 1. Eindruck als Gast sehr schlecht
