Pros:

Net, nieuw hotel in centrum Tralee. Geeft mooi uitgangspunt om naar uithoeken van Ierland te gaan. Altijd fijn: waterkoker!

Cons:

De aangekondigde afwezigheid van ontbijt was op paasmaandag wel wat armoedig. Het station ligt een eindje lopen weg

Extremely satisfying relaxing trip
Pros:

Was really delighted with hotel, rooms, bar, security. Everyone was so friendly and all staff looked to get on really well and support each other. We had drinks both nights in the bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We ate in bar 2nd night and it was absolutely gorgeous best burger chicken wings and prawns ever were given loads couldnt finish them. Loads of little extra touches in the bedroom which we really appreciated eg ear plugs, scent for ur pillow, chocolates.

Cons:

11am check out. Didnt help that clocks had moved forward overnight
