We had a nice stay at The James Hotel and it was very close to many restaurants and shops including a short walk to the Brandon Conference Center. The staff were very helpful and easy to work with. I would stay her again.

Very wonderful location and beautiful hotel. The card key access locations straight off the elevator (also card key access) felt secure but a little inconvenient. The room was clean, the beds were some of the comfiest I've slept in, and the AC worked well. Great stay.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a brand new hotel, a renovation of an older building, with a nice pub/restaurant downstairs. The live music late in the evening right below me wasn’t too obtrusive, but you might request a second or third floor room if you’re a light sleeper.

The front desk lady was so friendly and welcoming and our room was a “family room”. Plenty of room and comfortable setting. The restaurant was lovely and delicious. The area around was walking friendly and had restaurants and shopping.

Where to stay in Tralee

The hotel was modern and chic. The lighting was brilliant, the beds super comfy and the heating/AC was very quiet in operation. There were both coffee and tea making facilities and no shortage of USB power supply outlets. Excellent staff at reception.

We lived this small (26 rooms?) hotel with 2 restaurants and pub attached. Steps away from several other pubs and restaurants and shopping district. East in and out of Tralee. Grand view of the main avenue of the city and mist shrouded mtns in the distance. Wonderful staff.

Comfy room but only street parking and when we were there dining was closed.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The room could have used an update. There was an obvious burn mark on carpet from an apparent curling iron from a previous guest. The fold out sofa was tired and well worn. I would not have slept on it. Also, the sofa was placed in from of the radiator/heat source. I think this could be a fire hazard. May want to rethink the furniture placement. The toilet would intermittently run. Staff alerted to toilet issue at check out.

Great location but not sure i would stay again

I am more used to having a manned reception. There was only 1 person and unfortunately although they were very good, they had other things to do too. This meant there was no one there to assist. I was assigned the wrong room and was put in what's called a pod room. In fairness they offered to change it but i had settled in already and felt it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Looked for an ironing board which the receptionist brought to my room. Plug was broke and i got a shock off the plug.

Really nice hotel that has been renovated by some people with a great eye for detail and design. Even the amenities were great from The handmade soap company.

Unfreundlich

Der Empfang im Hotel war leider sehr unfreundlich, was den ersten Eindruck deutlich getrübt hat. Unser Zimmer war sehr klein, jedoch sauber und zweckmässig eingerichtet. Das Hotel ist noch ganz neu, was man an der modernen Ausstattung merkt. Parkmöglichkeiten gibt es in der Nähe, allerdings nicht direkt am Hotel. Positiv hervorzuheben ist die TV-Auswahl – inklusive Netflix – was wir als angenehm empfunden haben. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht genutzt und können es daher nicht beurteilen. Insgesamt ein funktionales Hotel, das seinen Zweck erfüllt, für uns aber aufgrund der Freundlichkeit beim Empfang und der sehr kleinen Zimmer nicht die erste Wahl wäre.
