Nice - Could be Better
Nice hotel in a lovely town. Old main building where we stayed this time. Usual noise from bar below and road outside. They do have other rooms, so request a quiet room if you're a light sleeper. Bathroom in room 1 smallest of damp. They could turn the heating down a few degrees and save hundreds of pounds! Rooms were incredibly hot at check in. We turned the radiators off! Breakfast was very average. Asked to sit where it was more convenient to the waiting staff, not ideal. Buffet not replenished as much as it could have been. These days we are paying a lot of money for accommodation, standards need to increase to meet expectations.

Great location...
The Talbot enjoys a great location. The hotel is getting to be tired, with bedrooms in particular (and bathrooms) needing a refresh, or lick of paint. It is hard to find staff to check you in. The food is of average quality. The staff are variable, on checkout the member of staff was on the phone to a friend, and it was obvious that I was interrupting a conversation. Other staff including the servers and housekeeping a friendly and welcoming.

Pleasant but needs some care.
Booked as I was working in Woking and didnt want the awful commute in the morning. I was quitexlate arriving, but was met by 2 friendly members of staff. I'd prebooked dinner and breakfast and due to time, went straiggt into the restaurant. My meals wwre nice. Nothing to conplain about here. I had room 4, just above reception. It was quite simple but warm and the inportant bit (the bed) was comfy. Even i accidentslly booked a double single bed room, i slept well. The not quite as positive area was the bathroom. The extract fan is very noisy, the kight sbove the sink only partially works, the ceiling has flaking paint, the drain in the bath blocked up when i took a shower. Its noticably colder than the bedroom as well. Food was fine. Staff were fine. I slept pretty well. It just felt a bit old snd in need of TLC in my room. Would book again though.

I was very disappointed with my stay this time - The Talbot have introduced car park charging which added over £10 a day to my stay and I was not told in advance. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom. I was expected to make tea and coffee with a wooden stick instead of a teaspoon. When I left I had to make two trips to my car, after the first trip to the car my key card no longer worked and when I went to reception to explain, the women made it work again but wasn’t remotely interested in me to say oh dear, or sorry or anything - in fact she was rather dismissive of me. What if I had been having breakfast? I wouldn’t have got back into my room either.

Generally not bad wet room left a lot to be desired, rusty pipework, black mould on seals . Shower adjustment rail was broken. Tv remote would not work window catch broken and a bit mean with complementary milk & teabags. Parking charge expensive. Opening window would not be excessible for many disabled. Breakfast was very good.

Pleasant enough stay.
Pleasant stay. Visiting Wisley a very short distance away so very convenient. Bed comfortable, shower cabinet needed a hood clean, otherwise acceptable standard of cleanliness. Breakfast ok except overcooked bacon and eggs
