Categories

Cleanliness
9.6
Multiple guests describe the hotel as 'very clean', 'clean comfortable, bright and cheerful' and praise housekeeping — overall excellent cleanliness.
Service
9.7
Staff repeatedly called 'extremely friendly', 'helpful' and 'exceptional' (receptionists, restaurant staff named). One isolated incident of being initially refused restaurant service slightly tempers a perfect score.
Location
9.5
Located on the Wild Atlantic Way, with parking and within easy reach of Tralee town centre, park and attractions — guests consistently note the convenient location.
Room Quality
9.1
Rooms described as large, comfortable and with air conditioning, but one report noted the 4th bed was a camp bed, so overall very good but not flawless.
Amenities
9.2
Good on-site amenities mentioned (restaurant, Dotts bar, kids' game, parking, air conditioning). Generally well-equipped for families and coach groups.
Value for Money
9.3
Guests mention attractive discount pricing and strong value — high standards combined with promotions make the stay feel worthwhile.
Food and Beverage
9.9
Repeated praise for 'exceptionally good breakfast', buffet + à la carte, 'fantastic' breakfast and overall great food; several guests enjoyed dinner and bar meals.
Overall Experience
8.9
Predominantly excellent stays, many guests say they 'cannot fault' the hotel and will return. Overall experience is very high but slightly reduced by an inconsistent restaurant refusal incident and minor room bedding issue.

A must stay if visiting Tralee
Pros:

First time to stay at the Rose and most certainly won't be the last. The standards were extremely high and the staff so professional and courteous throughout our stay. I could not find a single fault with this Hotel. Food and breakfast was excellent. Shall be highly recommending this Hotel to family and friends. By far our most enjoyable stay of all Hotels we have stayed in around Ireland

Excellence Service
Pros:

Thanks to the restaurant staff, they are friendly and willing to help with anything especially with my kids during break fast time. The receptionists are exceptional. Location of the hotel is quite good as well. And the discount price actually attracted me in the first place. Thanks to all the staff for their excellent services.

Shane on you
Pros:

My wife, mother-in-law, 4-year-old daughter, and I called into the Rose Hotel hoping to have dinner. When we entered the restaurant, a waitress told us that we couldn’t eat there because it was for residents only. We left, as I’ve never been refused service at a hotel restaurant before.

What made the situation even more disappointing was that shortly afterwards, a couple staying at the nearby Woodlands Caravan Park walked straight into the restaurant and were seated for dinner without any issue. (By the way, Woodlands Caravan Park is fantastic and well worth a visit if you’re touring.)

I went back to reception to ask for clarification, and the receptionist told me that the restaurant is actually open to everyone. That only made the experience more confusing and frustrating.

I feel we were treated unfairly, and it’s disappointing that one member of staff turned us away while others were clearly being welcomed in. I hope the hotel looks into what happened so no other family has the same experience.

Amazing experience
Pros:

I honestly cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with warm smiles and made to feel at home. Every member of staff was so friendly, helpful, and genuinely couldn't do enough for us.

The hotel itself is spotless, with exceptional cleanliness throughout. We dined in both restaurants during our stay, and the food was absolutely spectacular. Every meal was delicious, and the service was outstanding.

My daughter had the most amazing time in the Kids' Club. She couldn't wait to go back every evening, which made our stay even more special. A special thank you to Jenny Francis, who went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday one she'll always remember. Her kindness and thoughtfulness meant so much to us.

I could go on and on about how incredible our stay was, but words truly don't do it justice. Thank you to everyone for making our visit so memorable. We can't wait to return and make even more wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Exceptional
Pros:

Took our daughter out for lunch at Dotts Bar last Saturday, everything was perfect. The staff are always so lovely, we said that she was on her lunch break and the food arrived super quick (even though it was very busy). The food was beautiful, as always. Couldn’t be happier. I don’t know why you’d eat anywhere else!
