We had enjoyed our stay in the Dolmen Hotel in Carlow. Our room could have done with a makeover as it had stains all over the carpet. We had a meal and a few relaxing drinks in the bar afterwards. The food was lovely and the service was excellent and I would also like to say the receptionist was very pleasant and helpful she was on when we checked in and when we were checking out. We had a little issue at about 1.00am in the morning with the guest next door to us, a row had errupted between causing some noise and disturbance, we called down to reception and they came up straight away and it settled down after that only to start again at 5.00am until 7.00am when they must have gotten tired at that stage. I spoke with the girls on reception about it in the morning and she had been informed of the situation at 1.00am but she wasn't aware of the one at 5.00am.
