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.

Venue and staff were excellent. Food was great. Parking is hit and miss as on street and metered (very cheap for location- 50c an hour or €5 for all day. Problem is meters are frequently out of order so you cannot pay for bay.

If you need parking, book elsewhere. We drove around the area for 30 mins looking for street parking. The bowling alley a few blocks away has paid parking but this is not specified in the listing. We also had to walk through a busy restaurant with our suitcases and bags just to check in, and then had to walk back through the restaurant and down the street and around the corner just to access our room. The room doors slam loudly. The room had black scuff marks all over the walls. Wasn’t worth the money.

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).

First of all the PROS: Location-you could not ask for a better location for the apartment. Right in the middle of Old Town with very easy access to everything. The CONS: The stairs-winding staircase that gets kind of narrow at the top so watch your step. The interior-while everything was working as far as we could tell, the furnishings seemed a bit on the cheaper side and/poor construction in places. The exterior- you are warned about the corridor in the description and it didn’t disappoint, but we never felt unsafe. Would I stay here again? Yes because location is the key.
