Pros:

Es war noch viel schöner als man auf den Bildern sieht und ich habe selten so gut in einem Hotelbett geschlafen. Die Bar direkt darunter hat super leckeres Essen und der Weg von der Unterkunft zum Strand ist nur einmal über die Straße. Riesen Plus auch die inkludierte Gratissauna am Meer!

Cons:

Uns persönlich egal aber die Wände/Türen sind sehr dünn. Falls man leichten Schlaf hat vielleicht nicht ideal.

Great location in Bray & dog friendly
Pros:

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. I loved that this hotel is dog friendly! Although the hot tub out of order we were allowed to use the Seawater saunas and ice baths across the road which was the highlight of our stay!
