Fantastic Place To Stay
We arrived on New Year's Day. Our room was clean, the staff was friendly and the beds were very comfortable. The bar area was great too. My only negative was having to lug my bag upstairs, but it was a small price to pay for great accommodations. I would definitely stay here again.

Christmas break by the sea
Our stay was comfortable. The staff were very nice and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed Bray. Hotel was in the centre of promenade and certainly was the hub.

We have always loved the Martello but on our last visit both the manager and receptionist were very ignorant to us. We have been coming here for years now but that experience really put us off. So one year on we decided to give it another go and I’m glad we did. Obviously the staff are much nicer now and the refurb really has done wonders to the place.
