I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit small in the attic, were very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff was great, and the breakfast was fantastic. However, cleanliness could have been improved. Overall, a good choice for a cozy stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room had a lovely view overlooking the sea, but unfortunately, it was double booked, and the fire alarm went off during my stay. The service was attentive and friendly, making our stay enjoyable despite a few errors. The location couldn't have been better for enjoying Bray and the surrounding attractions. The dining experience in the lovely Cafe Verragano was phenomenal. While the facilities were good overall, there were issues with the kitchen being out of order.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The room on the 1st floor was spotless and had everything we could possibly need, including delightful extras like chocolates, slippers, dressing gowns, iron, hairdryer, and a variety of tea and coffee. The location was perfect, close to lively bars, restaurants, and the station, offering stunning sea views from many rooms. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant experience. However, the slight noise from other guests walking up and down the stairs could be a mild inconvenience.
