When booking the breakfast add-on raised the cost by £114?!? Im sure that was a technical error but not one i was going to fight. The room was clean but very warm. The TV is also only internet TV so No personal subscriptions-No TV. Not ideal.

Bray has few hotels making this one able to charge £240 a night for very basic accommodation. Clean but quite basic.

Service and breakfast pretty disappointing
Good location, limited parking and non included with the staying. Dated room Shocking breakfast. Very limited choice so we went for the poached eggs. Boiled eggs were served instead. We made the waiter aware those weren’t poached eggs but boiled eggs. He said “they’re just harder”. Yeah right. We asked for yogurt and granola instead and they charged us nearly 20€ for those.

The number one point of this fabulous hotel is Raj and his staff. They will do anything to accommodate and I mean anything. The room is spacious and clean, the complimentary breakfast is just what you need on Ireland. The location and view is breathtaking, minutes from the train and buses. To underline Raj is terrific
