Great stay away from the bustle of Dublin
From check in to check out, everything was wonderful. Great little town, great establishment and fantastic staff! Best cappuccino I’ve ever had as well. Dinner was good at Wilde’s and the wait staff was phenomenal!

Bray has few hotels making this one able to charge £240 a night for very basic accommodation. Clean but quite basic.

6/10 Good

Service and breakfast pretty disappointing
Good location, limited parking and non included with the staying. Dated room Shocking breakfast. Very limited choice so we went for the poached eggs. Boiled eggs were served instead. We made the waiter aware those weren’t poached eggs but boiled eggs. He said “they’re just harder”. Yeah right. We asked for yogurt and granola instead and they charged us nearly 20€ for those.

The number one point of this fabulous hotel is Raj and his staff. They will do anything to accommodate and I mean anything. The room is spacious and clean, the complimentary breakfast is just what you need on Ireland. The location and view is breathtaking, minutes from the train and buses. To underline Raj is terrific

fabulous location, good night’s sleep. Very friendly breakfast staff. Would have like a working TV in room. Breakfast start before 8am would help guests. I do not expect towels to be changed daily when I have hung up to reuse.

The hotel is in a beautiful location. We had a few issues with our room upon arrival that could have been handled a bit better. The food was incredible, but we wish the same care was given to some of the hotel facilities.

6/10 Good

The location was decent, but there were issues. The towel warmer in the bathroom was dripping water on the floor, which wasn't a huge issue. The biggest problem was the noise. On the first night we heard what sounded like someone moving furniture for hours above us. The second night, in addition to the furniture moving noises, there was loud dance music being played, I think at the restaurant on the property (we didn'tleaveour room to investigate). We barely got any sleep. Had we known that the place turned into a club on Friday nights, we wouldn't have booked.
