I stayed here with my boyfriend when we attended a wedding in nearby Ballyseedee castle. First off, location of the hotel is excellent and it should do much better than it does, when we pulled up I was surprised that for a nice friday, it was deserted. I'd made the booking online - where they said that you could check... More

We stayed here two nights ago on a spur of the moment trip to Tralee. Got a good deal on the Hotel Tonight web site. When we arrived there was plenty of parking space. Hotel was busy with many Irish and international coaches parked outside. Parking is free. We were well greeted at reception and service was quick. We stayed... More

Can only use the word "excellent" to describe the service, rooms, food, and staff. Just back from a five day tour with National Holidays, really enjoyed it. Friendly staff, lovely room, comfortable beds, good en-suite, cleanliness 10 out of 10. Generous portions at breakfast, dinner. Choice of three starters, three main meals and three desserts, good variety. The staff couldn't... More

My second stay here in the last year, as always the hotel was spotless and comfortable, the food delicious and plentiful, only problem was trying to understand the coloured guy on reception, he got a bit quick tempered with me when I had to ask him to keep repeating what he was saying.. Other than that my stay was pleasant.

The price was outrageous, with a grand total of a discount of 5 euro for the wedding group, whoop dee do. Staff were friendly, but did not have much interaction. Honestly, would not... More
