Excellent property with many dining and drinking options. The tomato soup and the carrot soup were amazing! The room was rather small and we had trouble figuring out how to turn on power for some of the outlets.

Overnight stay in Bray

Room 204 was very spacious with a view overlooking the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linens top quality. We ate in the restaurant and the food and service were both excellent.

Very disappointed to be told that there is a nightclub under our room and this went on untill 0230! No mention of this when i booked but was told after payment was taken at check in that it would be " lively " later! Would not have booked had we known this information before arriving! Was offered free coffee in the morning to compensate which i declined as this did not seem like fair compensation. My review will mention this disastrous stay.

Great location on the sea front. We found it easy to park close to the hotel on the sea front road, although a parking charge of 1 euro per hour applies. The room we stayed in was spacious, well equipped and very clean. All the staff were helpful and welcoming. Breakfast is served at the hotel but comprises a choice from the a la carte menu. Unless you only eat a small breakfast we found was is best value to pay in advance (12 euros).
