What guests think

Travellers describe Ballyroe Lodge as a scenic, quiet base just outside Tralee, highlighted by stunning countryside views and consistently warm, helpful service from staff across the hotel, making it a convenient stop for families, couples, and golfers exploring the area.

Rooms are generally comfortable and sometimes spacious, but several reviews mention dated decor and recurring heat or a lack of air conditioning, which left some guests too warm. Housekeeping is regularly praised for clean spaces, though parts of the property show wear, and refurbishment work has been noted during some stays. Food and breakfast are widely enjoyed, with compliments for quality and the dining room setting, though a few guests found breakfast limited or underwhelming. Those sensitive to heat should note that some rooms lack air conditioning.

The room was clean but very warm. There was no way to turn the heat off. I called the front desk and was told the heat would shut off soon. They had no fan for the room to help cool it off. We was able to open the window for a while until bugs began flying in the room. The staff were nice, professional, and apologetic for the issue. Check in was quick and easy. Parking was great.

A hotel that is in serious need of repair and maintenance, or realistically a total renovation. The wear and tear is apparent almost everywhere. I rarely post a negative review and I felt bad for the staff, who were all wonderful! The staff is five-star, and the hotel is 2 stars at the very most. There was construction happening in the main lobby but the updating needed throughout is overwhelming.

What a surprise. Whilst a little dated, the property is ideally located with magical views and the service and food quality is first class. Free self parking and an easy drive to Tralee Golf course or the city centre. Ideal for the road tripping couple.

We had a great 2 nights stay here. We found the room to be clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great, they cooked from your order and they had a good choice of continental breakfast too. We had a rental car so it was easy to get around and enjoy the surrounding area of Dingle also. Tralee is also really lovely area to explore.

The front desk wasn’t very familiar with places to eat, no air conditioning nor a fan in the rooms, we had to sleep with the doors open. There wasn’t any access to a water fountain to refill water bottles nor get ice. The property is not handicap accessible which our other party needed. Getting to/from the elevator is not easily accessible for handicap person. There was no luggage rack available which would’ve been nice since my husband and I had to help with our companion travelers luggage since one was in a wheelchair due to a recent accident. There were no wash rags in the rooms either. The breakfast staff person was very pleasant and helpful.

We had a brilliant family 2 night stay in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel. The staff were so friendly and attentive during our stay in February 2025 and the rooms were absolutely perfect for our family (2 adults and 2 children aged 4 and 6). The hotel itself is 10 minutes drive outside Tralee, which was perfect for our family and the food was of a good standard.

Nice hotel, lovely staff - only thing i would say is the breakfast could have been better. Poor enough buffet variety, and the poached eggs from the menu were served hard, plus they cut the crust off the slice of toast the eggs were served on, for whatever reason i dont know - but overall we were very happy with our stay.
