One night business stay, staff were lovely, ate in the bar and the food was really good, breakfast was also excellent. Hotel is old school , lovely open fire going as you come in the front door. Stay in hotels a lot with work and this is the type of hotel thats getting harder to find these days - keep up the good work, I'll definitely be coming back for a visit!

A nice hotel in Tralee.
I stayed one night in The Grand. Nice room and great breakfast. Maybe the only drawbacks were the lack of a lift and a fairly rude night porter.

Great staff, a lot of services available. We really enjoyed breakfast, and the restaurant staff were very kind, bubbly and helpful. We had our laundry done for a small fee, and had our room serviced regularly. An excellent place to stay.

Loved the classic feel of this hotel. The room didnt feel dated even though it was in an older building. Staff were accomodating and informative. I would stay there again and recomend it to others.
