Sweet Tralee...We've stayed at the Brandon several times and feel like it's our special place in Tralee. The staff (Karen and Eileen especially) are all so welcoming. The rooms (think fifth floor) are spacious, clean and well appointed. The b bar's pub food is savory, reasonable and available early till late. Tralee is the gateway to the Dingle and Iveragh...

At first glance the reception area is nice. We were barely greeted by a receptionist who seemed to not want to talk to us in anyway other than a quick check in and her aim being to get us away from reception as quick as she could even though we were the only customers at that time. The room itself... More

When walking into Reception you would think that you are in a nice hotel. We were checked in promptly and what I can only describe as professionally, no personal touch might as well have been a robot doing it. The room was a massive disappointment, our Double room was two single beds pushed together and the bed cover had a... More

I recently stayed here and recented a warm welcome from the staff. The room was clean and warm. I unfortunately left a computer charger behind me in my room and the hotel kindly placed it in the post to my home address. For this I am most greatful. Thank you.
