Meadowlands Hotel

Meadowlands is a nice hotel, madly let down by its ancient and ineffective plumbing. The toilet didn't flush properly, the taps were difficult to turn on and off properly and the shower was pathetic, with no water pressure at all. However the staff were lovely. Breakfast was mediocre, though served very swiftly. Frank's Bar served an excellent evening meal which was very good value for money.

깨끗하고 분위기가 좋았어요. 가을에 예쁠것 같았어요.

I recently stayed at the Meadowlands Hotel in Tralee, Co. Kerry, in May 2024, Unfortunately, my overall experience was quite negative. From the moment we checked in, the greeting we received set a poor tone for our stay. The receptionist greeted us with a dismissive "Can I help ya," which made us feel unwelcome. This is not the kind of reception you expect at a hotel, where a warm and professional greeting is standard. When we checked in, the receptionist did not provide any information about breakfast times. She simply handed us the key and instructed us to "take the lift." This lack of basic information was quite disappointing and left us feeling confused about the amenities offered. We paid extra for a "Suite" which had a jacuzzi bath, but the jacuzzi jets did not work. There was a sign indicating this issue, but we had previously stayed about 18 months prior and noticed that the same sign was there. This suggests that the hotel did not bother to fix the problem, which was disappointing as we had paid extra for this feature. To add to the disappointment, the water in the bath was cold within 5 minutes of being full, and when I tried to top it up with hot water, the hot tap only gave cold water. Furthermore, the fridge in the room did not work, and the TV's "Netflix" feature never worked, despite the hotel heavily promoting their smart TVs with Netflix. That wasn't even half of the problem. We had a dining voucher for dinner and were told not to book a table because it wouldn't be busy. However, when we arrived for dinner, we had a 15-minute wait for a table with no place to sit, so we had to stand at the bar. When I asked for a "Malibu with Coke," the server replied that they didn't sell Malibu, even though I could see it behind the bar. I settled for water, but later, another server confirmed they did serve Malibu and brought me one. For dinner, my partner ordered the Special Feather Blade, and I ordered a burger. My partner was served a 32oz steak instead, which was 10 euros more expensive. My beef burger was extremely salty, making it inedible, and the side of coleslaw tasted off. When I explained the issues to the server, he just replied, "OK, can I get ye some dessert?" No attempt was made to correct the main course issue, and I was not offered an alternative. We ordered desserts because I was still hungry, having been unable to eat my main course. When we received the bill, we were charged for everything, including €19.95 for the beef burger and chips I couldn't eat. After expressing my concerns to another staff member, he seemed annoyed but eventually took the burger off the bill and only charged the correct price for the steak, which we had not ordered. The dining area seemed busy, which is understandable, but despite having plenty of staff, it was difficult to get anyone's attention. Breakfast the next morning was just okay, but the overall experience has completely turned me off from ever staying at Meadowlands Hotel again. In

Stayed here with family during the recent cold spell. The rooms were so cosy and great value, and had all the necessary amenities. The staff are absolutely brilliant in all areas of the hotel, from the receptionists, to bar staff, housekeeping staff, and staff in the restaurant where breakfast was served. We ate in the bar and food was excellent. There was a great variety to chose from for breakfast. A family member had an early morning appointment and the receptionist arranged the taxi. We were only meant to stay one night but because the weather was deteriorating for our journey home, we had to stay another night and staff were very accommodating for this. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

I had a great 5 night stay in the hotel. Will definitely return. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Variety, service and quality of breakfast was excellent. Service for dinner in the evening was a bit slow on some evenings but the food was great.

Lovely hotel, plenty of free parking too. Very friendly helpful staff. The breakfast was one of the best we ever had , good selection & freshly cooked for us . Room was very spacious & comfortable . Good location near Tralee town. Would love to return , highly recommend .
