The James Hotel

Lovely hotel in central Tralee. The room was beautiful with lots of nice little touches like the lighting under the beds and gorgeous soaps. The breakfast was superb, the full Irish was excellent. Also very child friendly, we had a great time. The only thing I would have preferred was carpet instead of hardwood floors but everything else was perfect.

I always say that the difference between a 3 and a 4 star hotel is the staff and the James Hotel really excels. From the friendly welcome at check-in to the hand written welcome note in our room to the friendly staff in the bar/restaurant 🌟🌟🌟🌟

She who must be obeyed and I were waiting for this new hotel to open and of course try it out. It's location just off the town center and next to the Garda st created a little doubt as to its standard . However as you enter you could easily be in a beautiful boutique hotel anywhere in Europe. It's modern but cosy. The dining area / bar is on the small side but it's design with the open snugs and warm fire gives you a feeling like a big hug. The staff are professional yet friendly, warm and intimate but not overbearing.. We came here twice to check out the breakfast and the lunch. The breakfast was perfectly cooked, timely and delicious. I had the full Irish and the real boss the breakfast Bap. Now the Bap had all the contents of my Irish only vertical. This caused us some giggles as I watched her try to deconstruct it. Generous to a fault .and reasonably priced. Now there were only 8 to 10 people so we were curious as to how they would cope for a Sunday lunch. On we came on a wet and windy Sunday at 13.30. we were practically alone only 3 or 4 other couples. That makes me nervous. Usually a sign that the food is not great. So Duck for the boss and fish for me. We couldn't really fault it. If I was nit picking the fries should be chips ,real hand cooked chips. Other than that a good experience. So why on both occasions is it so quiet ?? We can only conclude that the secret is not out yet. Friendly , efficient staff Beautiful boutique hotel Good food Great value Well worth the visit

The moment you step in the door you feel the warm welcome from the receptionist, everything explained and the offer of mulled wine and cake was a lovely bonus The rooms are of such a high standard feels so luxurious and warm shower so hot and powerfull The best part of this hotel is their restaurant where the food is expectional and of such high quality and so reasonably priced . Can't wait for our next visit to this gem of a hotel.

This hotel is underrated - from the moment of arrival, the staff are so friendly and welcoming! The James Suite is stunning; really spacious, modern and bright. I booked as a surprise birthday getaway and they did not disappoint with a lovely dessert and welcome note. All the in-room amenities are local Irish brands which is a huge plus. Will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone!

The room was spotless and spacious. The bathroom was beautiful too. Check in was effortless and fast. We had a few drinks in the bar, the first was free which is a nice touch. All staff were pleasant to deal with. Breakfast was nice. I could find no fault with any of my stay. If I was to be picky and really look for a negative the only suggestion I would have is maybe add a table and 2 chair in the room where you can sit and drink a coffee (from the lovely coffee machine in the room). I will definitely go back. 10 out of 10. Well done!
