Friendly efficient check in, helpful receptionist. Had dinner in Restaurant which was lovely and again friendly staff. Bar was warm and welcoming and there was a good atmosphere around. Rooms were clean but a little on the small side. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and will be back again very soon more

I have read the numerous reviews re the Arklow Bay Hotel and completly agree with each and every one of them that was critical. I stayed in this "hotel" for a wedding and while the actual meal for the wedding was actually very good this is the only compliment that I can give. I ws staying in one of the... more

First of all, the hotel website directions refer to a Shell Garage as you approach Arklow, this is now a Topaz. The hotel is nothing special, TV in room was a very small portable, breakfast was ordinary. For the rates charged they don´t seem to be matching with the service & cleanliness levels expected. If you are attending a function,... more

This is a nice hotel near the sea. The staff are friendly but we did have to wait 30 minutes for an iron and ironing board. We went Friday-Sunday and both friday and sat night there were parties on. A wedding on friday and a 21st on saturday. It was very very noisy and the 21st party was only just... more
