Very wonderful location and beautiful hotel. The card key access locations straight off the elevator (also card key access) felt secure but a little inconvenient. The room was clean, the beds were some of the comfiest I've slept in, and the AC worked well. Great stay.

What a fantastic stay. Centrally located in town. The front desk lady was lovely and always cheerful and full of ideas. The room was clean and bright. Wonderful to have a walk-in shower and Barry’s tea. We would definitely stay again. No parking but our front desk lady was helpful on where to park and the cost.

It’s a brand new hotel, a renovation of an older building, with a nice pub/restaurant downstairs. The live music late in the evening right below me wasn’t too obtrusive, but you might request a second or third floor room if you’re a light sleeper.

Where to stay in Tralee

The hotel was modern and chic. The lighting was brilliant, the beds super comfy and the heating/AC was very quiet in operation. There were both coffee and tea making facilities and no shortage of USB power supply outlets. Excellent staff at reception.

We lived this small (26 rooms?) hotel with 2 restaurants and pub attached. Steps away from several other pubs and restaurants and shopping district. East in and out of Tralee. Grand view of the main avenue of the city and mist shrouded mtns in the distance. Wonderful staff.

The most comfortable bed I have ever slept on in a hotel!!!! Wonderful staff and property. New and modern set amongst the downtown pubs cafes and shops. Spent town nights here while exporting Kerry county. 5 star recommendations!

The room could have used an update. There was an obvious burn mark on carpet from an apparent curling iron from a previous guest. The fold out sofa was tired and well worn. I would not have slept on it. Also, the sofa was placed in from of the radiator/heat source. I think this could be a fire hazard. May want to rethink the furniture placement. The toilet would intermittently run. Staff alerted to toilet issue at check out.
