Great place to stay if you want to be close to the beach and nightlife!
Pros:

It was a great way to kick of our travel to Ireland! Great location, and a great room. I especially appreciated the option to have some Prosecco delivered up to the room considering we were there for an engagement trip!

Cons:

The elephant in the room is definitely the fact that weekends are definitely noisy. It's a double-edged sword because if you are younger or generally enjoy clubs/bars, you will LOVE this location. There were three different places with live music/DJs playing that night that we could hear from our room...but then again...there were three different places playing music at the same time that we could hear from our room...If you are looking for a peaceful night's rest, then book on a weekday and you should be fine. If you are looking for a great place to spend the weekend on the beach and want a close spot to crash in comfort after a night out, then definitely choose The Palm!

Although there is a warning for the noise (music by from nightclub downstairs) nothing could have prepared me for the vo
Pros:

Interiors were well decorated.

Cons:

Room was stuffy & when I opened window, noise from nightclub resulted in having to close it again. Took a while to locate staff & checkin despite arriving at scheduled time. Base from music seems to reverberate throughout the room.

Besser geht es nicht
Pros:

Sehr netter Empfang, wunderschön eingerichtetes Zimmer, bequemes Bett, Nespresso Maschine, kleiner Kühlschrank, große Dusche, alles sehr sauber. Unser Highlight war natürlich das Badefass auf der kleinen Terrasse.
Man sitzt im heißen Wasser mit Blick auf Promenade und Meer. Einfach nur toll, besonders wenn es noch kühl draußen ist.
Im Restaurant waren wir einmal essen. Der Service auch da sehr nett und schnell. Das Essen war lecker und das Ambiente schön. Auch hier mit Blick aufs Meer!

Cons:

Nichts

Pros:

This hotel was very cool! We enjoyed the boutique vibe of the hotel and would absolutely stay there again. The vibe was very trendy and the design was fun!

Cons:

Did not see the hotel entrance initially and entered through the restaurant. There is limited parking.

Fab hotel, rubbish town.
Pros:

The staff are excellent, the rooms are quirky and bed very comfortable. Half decent view of the sea from my room and only a 30 second walk to the promenade.

Cons:

Bray is not worth visiting, its tired and suffering from decades of neglect by the local council. The town itself is now just a mix of coffee shops, vape and euro junk shops. Drink and food, whereas its cheaper than the Dublin ripoff is still too expensive and its not worth the prices. Oh yeah, I'm actually from Bray.
