We recently used our Groupon voucher to stay at the Dolmen Hotel in Carlow and found the visit very pleasant. The hotel is situated about a mile outside Carlow town on the Kilkenny road, its a big place and very easy to find. We arrived at reception and were greeted warmly by staff, the reception area itself is very nice,... More

Stayed in the Dolmen Hotel recently as part of a special deal offer which included 1 nights Bed & Breakfast and a Steak Dinner for 2. To be honest, expectations weren't too high and I booked the hotel as the offer fitted in with a family event in Carlow. I was very pleasantly surprised by our experience. First of all,... More

Stayed in this 3 star hotel as had one of those internet offers. It was excellent value. On the way in we noted that it does need a bit of a touch up. When you go inside it is clear that this hotel probably used to command a higher tariff with its large spacious lobby area. We were really glad... More

We attended a wedding function here last weekend. Just about everything you'd expect from a hotel was provided...very friendly, smiling staff, efficient service, comfortable surroundings, clean and well-presented rooms. As various family members who were also at the wedding gathered in reception the following morning, all commented on how much they enjoyed the previous evening. The food served during the... More

We stayed at the Dolmen for 3 nights. Food was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. It is a very short drive from the town centre. The only negitave thing I would highlight is the lift. We had a 1 year old with us. When you get to the 1st floor you still have to go down 3 steps... More
