I was really worried about staying because the reviews were generally appalling so I emailed the hotel. To be fair, the reservations manager emailed with reassurances that our rooms would be personally inspected before our arrival. Not sure if this was actually done.

Stayed here overnight on a coach tour and for that purpose it was just about adequate, but it is a hotel I would never wish to stay in again. The food was OK, but the room was bare, unattractive and dimly lit. The inter-room telephone connection did not work and the strip light over the wash handbasin in the oddly... more

It was a special recession deal and I paid about 50 Euro for a night in this hotel including breakfast and dinner - sounds like a good deal, but I still would NOT go back there. Considering as well that you have to pay 5 Euro for parking (not mentioned on the WEB-site) and Euro 12.50 a day if you... more

I have stayed here before and find this is oneof the best Hotels for welcoming children.The swimming pool has also been refurbished and there is... more

Arrived at The Royal Hotel Bray for a one night stay with my boyfriend. Upon arrival we were asked to pay upfront for carpark and hotel which we did as we were paying cash. We then went up to our room which was filthy - stains on carpet,walls and bed linen, cobwebs in the corner, some sort of mould in... more
