Such a lovely building in a great location in central Tralee but breakfast is not good.
Pros:

I loved the beautiful wood and the materials used in the building itself. I loved it was so clean, the shower and the bed were all great and the bed linens were beautiful.
I liked that the room was dark for sleeping, window was accessible and the room minimalist.
The building itself is fab and I'd go back but the breakfast needs attention. It lets the hotel down. There's too few staff on duty with the result that service is slow and everything in the self-service is so unhealthy. I paid €15 for two scrambled eggs!

Cons:

The Breakfast needs to be improved, and an extra member of staff is needed to serve customers in a reasonable time. The breakfast area is in the bar and is not the most suitable area for breakfast. There was one member of staff on duty to serve quite a number of people, and I waited 20 minutes from exactly 08.00am to get two eggs. The jugs of juices served at the self-service counter are so heavily sweetened and processed they are not suitable in such a modern, clean and contemporary hotel. The counter/area where one picks up the juices and pastries is too small and unsuitable. Pity because it is such a beautiful building in a great location. There is no place nearby at 08.00am if one chooses to not have breakfast in the hotel.
