Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We went for the beef, served with rooster potatoes wrapped in foil with a sachet of butter. They were not tasty. There was a square of white cabbage maybe it was something else piled on the plate. It was not tasty and the vegetables seemed...boiled from frozen. The gravy was bitter. The wine was lovely. We were disappointed having spent 80 euro. The surroundings are lovely and comfortable and the waitresses were very pleasant. I could not fault them.More

Nice place to stay with friends for an evening. As the bar was full, our group of eight was set into at a large table in the restaurant. Nice food and drinks. Spent a good evening there!

We both ordered the club sandwich and it was...so tasty…great value! Would certainly recommend as a meeting spot with lovely atmosphere, wonderful service and great food!!

My family love the Grand Hotel and the Pikeman Bar . We can’t go to Tralee without a visit . It’s like being in a film about Irish life 100 years ago but yet modern and sophisticated as well . Chowder is always excellent with...a couple of pints of Guinness ( now Guinness 0.0 on tap,) Ecstasy!More
