Pros:

Location was excellent. Decor was modern and clean. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable with all necessary amenities. Bathroom was clean and spacious, the shower was nice with good water pressure and all soaps and shampoos were fresh and nicely Scented. I didnt try the bar or restaurant so can't say too much, but I walked through it looked quite nice, with a good atmosphere.

Schönes Hotel - auch für einen Familienausflug
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und die Zimmer sind gepflegt.
Die Frühstücksauswahl war sehr gut.

Cons:

Leider lag unter uns die Bar und es war live Musik vor dem bank holiday Monday. Ein irischer Familienclan hat sich hier getroffen. An Schlaf war nicht zu denken. Mitfeiern war die Devise...

Beautiful hotel finished to a very high standard!
Pros:

Hotel is beautiful. It has been built to an extremely high standard. No corners were cut here. Definity worth a stay

Cons:

Just a bit expensive, but everything is at the moment. It was cheaper than other hotels in Tralee but €330 for a night with 2 adults and 1 child is expensive!! At that price you certainly would not afford to stay there for more than 1 night.
