Pros:

Check in was easy, staff were very polite and helpful
Room was lovely and clean and bed was very comfortable
Had a sea view which was beautiful

Cons:

Duvet was too heavy for the weather and couldn't get air conditioner to work. Also blinds didn't block out the light and so room was too bright at 5.30 which woke me up

Pros:

La posizione al centro del lungomare di Bray. Ottima la cena al ristorante, molto vivo di venerdì sera e frequentato da locali. Ci avevano avvisato di possibili rumori ma in realtà la stanza era molto ben insonorizzata. La camera era in realtà un appartamento, molto ampio e pulito ma arredato in modo spartano. Colazione alla carta molto molto buona ma senza buffet.

Cons:

Per la cifra pagata, la camera avrebbe potuto essere più bella. Inaccettabile l’affaccio da una parte su un muro e su un rumorosissimo vicolo di servizio dall’altra. L’unico armadio in un appartamento per quattro persone aveva un’unica anta.

Pros:

Cool apartment and location

Cons:

No air conditioning, it was hot. The TV in the room only shows a couple of news channels. The sounds of trains outside the window, but not too loud, so okay.
