Shannon, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

When booking the breakfast add-on raised the cost by £114?!? Im sure that was a technical error but not one i was going to fight. The room was clean but very warm. The TV is also only internet TV so No personal subscriptions-No TV. Not ideal.

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

Great location and view and food in both the bar and the Indian restaurant was great. Breakfast in the cafe was perfect and coffee was the best. Rooms very comfortable with great bed. All staff were really helpful and approachable. Would recommend for sure.

Excellent location. I had room #6, which was very spacious and had an excellent view of the sea. Walking distance to everything in town.

6/10 Good

Lovely staff, no elevator so lots of stairs to climb, great curry restaurant attached, overall a little worn around the edges.
Randi, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
