Convenient free parking. Friendly courteous staff. Good restaurant/pub on site.

Lovely room!! Helpful staff. Second time visiting and will gladly stay again!

Nice people, great location. It was nice after a long day in Dublin or on the road to come back to Bray and the Hotel. Close walk to beach and train and a lot of restaurants and taverns. This is a coastal town that Irish go for quick vacation.

a passport was stolen from the room was not discovered till 2 days before leaving so it was a panic to get it replaced . then the day we got new passport the missing one was stuck in the corner of the mirror ..so someone took it then returned it with no explanation from staff we were out $160.00 plus a lot of hassel to go to embasy worry and all the rest..the place was fine but this basically spoiled the stay

This hotel was an absolute bargin compared to staying in Dublin. You can walk about half a mile to the Train station (and beach!!) and be in the heart of Dublin in 15 mins or rent a car and it's about a 15 min drive). Excellent facilities and breakfast. The only downside was the wifi only worked in the hallways and not in the room. But loved it and would definitely stay here again!

Weekend in Wicklow. Had a great time. Leasure centre was lovely. Hot tub and pool. Free secure parking. Room was very comfortable. Shower water could be a little warmer. It was mid afternoon so this might have been the reason. All staff were very helpful. Would stay there again.

My friend & I wanted to get out of dublin for a night so we took the train to Bray. Hotel was close enough to the train to walk & we were able to check in early. There was no wifi in the room & I couldn't figure out how to do it in the lobby. We didn't spend too much time in the hotel because we spent the day doing the cliff walk to greystones then took the train back. We wanted to eat dinner in Bray but a football game was on so the pubs were packed & there weren't many other options. We should have eaten in greystones. I would have liked to check out the pool but we didn't have enough time. The tv didn't work I our room but we were too tired to call for help. Not sure if there's enough to do for more than a night.
