Nice clean hotel in an excellent location right on the historic Bray victorian esplanade. Good value and quite comfortable and quiet. One niggle though as car parking can be problem if the hotel is anything near full. Other wise very good value More

I stayed the night in this hotel on 1st of Dec '11. Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Didn't really like the "old fashioned" style of decor on the way up to my room nor the old look of the room itself. However, my real problem was with the cold. The room was very cold all nite and...

Bar was nice and cosy, no great shapes but was inviting especially with the open fire. Only complaint I have was that the evening meal was... More

I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in you hotel last weekend. The only negative feedback is the residents lounge had an absolutely foul smell in it. Also there is very little to offer when 'lugging' suitcases about as there are quite alot of steps. Definitely unsuitable for anyone with a disability. Other than that the staff were excellent and most helpful... More
