Very nice stay in Tralee
Pros:

Excellent location in the centre of town, a very short walk from shops and restaurants. Nice food in hotel for evening meals. Didn’t try the breakfast. Room was very comfortable with a nice bay window facing street. Good wifi, and abundant free car parking in private lot at rear of building. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Reasonable rate for two nights (compared with local competition). Interesting heritage (hosted the International Rose of Tralee festival until the 2000s, and was the venue where Jayne Mansfield was scheduled to perform - until Catholic Ireland put stop to it - in 1967!)

Cons:

All was good generally. Room and bathroom were a little small, but fine for a short stay

Fabulous staff and location
Pros:

Great location, fabulous staff,nice to have the pool and gym, spacious room/shower, TV channels and food

Cons:

Small niggles but:

Room 118 is a little too close to the lifts to sleep, if possible it may be best to locate guests away from the lift.

Replenishing the tea/coffee would be really great.

Staff and service in the bar were lovely however the menu was a little limited and on Thursday night we really felt pushed from the bar around 10pm

Breakfast options were fine but a little dull ..no porridge,acai bowl,pancake just a fry as the only warm option.

zu meiner völligen Zufriedenheit. Würde wieder dort übernachten.
Pros:

Obwohl es ein älteres Hotel ist, hat es und gut gefallen. Vielleicht gerade deswegen. Ich finde es gut, wenn ältere Hotels immer noch gebraucht werden. Manchmal bleibt drum bei Neubaus, oder fast neuen Hotels, die Ökologie auf der Strecke.
Also. Zimmer, Personal, Frühstück, alles gut, einfach gut. Ich kann es weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Ich habe nichts zu meckern, das heisst, keine Beanstandung. Wenn, dann hätte ich das direkt vor Ort gesagt.

Comfortable and affordable however desperately needed a good hoovering
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful

Cons:

Beds and bathroom were clean in fairness, but there appeared to be crumbs and tiny bits of paper here and there on the floor.

The Brandon Hotel is well located and modern with all the amenities.
Pros:

The location was ideal for all the things you'd want to do or see in Tralee. The restaurant/bar was very convenient. The room was exceptional.

Cons:

We could have used a map of Tralee and what there was to do and see there. The breakfast was mediocre and overpriced.
