Accommodation good Staff very pleasant and helpful. When we booked this room we asked to be in a room where we did not have to go up too many stairs, this request was not fulfilled. My wife has had two new hips renewed , so the room we had. been allocated was totally unsuitable. Also it was a long trek from lift to our accommodation. Also there was signs in the hotel that stipulated smart dress, this seemed to be ignored. Also signs saying no food to be brought in from outside, this was also ignored. Often take away food was left outside bedrooms half eaten over night. This was revolting to walk past and was still there in the morning. When we went for our breakfast. It was Stinking. We had a very enjoyable holiday, but will think very carefully before using yout hotel again.

"Wouldn`t stay again "
The room wasn`t in great condition, single glazed and cold at night. Overall a tired feel throughout the hotel and there is certainly better value for money to be had and definately friendlier service. 100% would not recommend.

"Decor was in need of refreshing."
Overall staff were very friendly and helpful with the exception of the bar staff, who seemed to spend more time stood at the end of the bar chatting to each other than serving drinks.

"Good value for money"
Good location... close to beach and train. Hotel was clean, our room was spacious, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Take your walking shoes, room 142 is a long way from reception. The bar and restaurant are good value as well. Take your own blow dryer!

Bedrooms are in need of a little refurbishment, which i believe to be a work in progress. Overall excellent value for money with the added bonus of free leisure facilities and WiFi. We enjoyed our stay.

"Hotel not bad in the main."
Hotel nice and clean, as we`re bedrooms. Staff friendly and helpful at all times. Evening entertainment OK and tried to get residents involved. Downside as follows - breakfast chaotic with no-one seemingly in charge resulting in longer than acceptable wait for a table - all the brass plaques on all doors in need of a clean - Internet access too costly. My view is that Internet access is a must these days and prior to staying at the Royal we had stayed at 4 B & B` s all of which had free Internet access. To compound this, a couple of cafes and pubs nearby had free Internet access, as did McDonalds up the road.

"At 1st thought it was a lovely hotel, some beautiful furniture in public areas, "
At 1st seeing our room, impression was, this is nice. But the room was very warm, I had put in search engine for air con! The bathroom could do with a refit, as the Formica looks like seen better days, tiles want regrouting, but worst of all is the fact that although a sign says let hot water tap run, 20mins later still no hot water!!! Also corridors very nosey, no good for quite break away!!

"Royal Hotel Bray"
Bray was having unprecedented numbers of visitors when I stayed at the Royal Hotel due to the Air Festival so it is probably a little unfair to say that it was really, really noisy made worse by the fact that it was very hot and I had to keep the window open all night. That said, the Royal delivers what you expect for the price you pay. The beds where very comfortable and the leisure centre is a real bonus. The bar staff work their legs off and are always pleasant and cheerful although it strikes me that the bar area is understaffed but I didn`t hear any of the staff complaining.

The staff we found to be very pleasant and helpful the room was nice but a bit tired the only major complaint would be the on-suite of the room that we stayed in needs a complete overhaul. The one time that we ate there was in the bar and the food was fine. Overall a pleasant stay except for the on-suite bathroom and plumbing.

"Exceptional value for money. Spa was very good as was the food. Welcoming and friendly staff."
Lovely ride on the Dart into Dublin at only five euros return. Nice to be able to go for beautiful walks along the coast. Location ideal if you are after a holiday wanting to see more than just Dublin itself. perfectly placed to do both. Looking for flights to go back as we speak. will book the same hotel but for longer.

"My visit at the Royal Hotel Bray"
My visit was all I could expect. I`ve stayed in many hotels in the UK, Ireland, and the Continent. My room here was very nice. There was a flat screen TV, coffee maker, telephone and all the standard amenities. I would have preferred a more firm mattress that did not sag but I was fine with what I got. I still slept well and do not wish to complain about the bed or anything else. The room was clean and housekeeping did a wonderful job. The people at the hotel were superb. Very friendly and helpful with all requests. The facilities available at the hotel were excellent. The restaurant and bar was warm and welcoming. Wireless internet worked well. I travel a good deal and expect fast and complimentary wi-fi wherever I stay. I would certainly consider staying here again. Thomas D Stout Langley, WA

"Great value weekend breakaway"
Initially disappointed with allocated room (334) with its outdated decor, patched carpet, peeling wallpaper and noisy extractor fan outside window. Went to reception and explained disappointment with room and immediately Amy allocated us a new room (241) which was to a far higher speck and more modern. From here on throughout our stay everything else was brilliant, friendly staff, excellent food in bar and restaurant, live entertainment and great leisure facilities. Will return as Long as we are able to book a room the equivalent to room 241.

"Fairly basic but clean, not much to look at, hotel parking not always available."
Often very noisey at night very busy with a lot of family deals, very narrow stairs to bedrooms would not suit elderly clients. Front of hotel on side of street and needs a face lift!

"terrible mattress.and noise from the street"

"Pleasant stay, good service and breakfast."
Good sized room - 104 - but the outlook to an enclosed courtyard was disappointing and although it was a non-smoking room I thought there were traces of tobacco smoke there.
