We booked the Martello because its right above a lively pub/restaurant with free entry into the niteclub. Was a Halloween weekend so the place was buzzing! The hotel itself is clean, and basic no frill's but for a night's stay that did not matter... And for the price its not bad, its great to be able to just walk upstairs after a night out... You can still hear the nightclubs music pumping so if you like to have an early night at the weekend then bring earplugs.. The receptionist was a bit off at first and seemed like we had bothered her with our arrival, but she was grand after a few mins.

Location, Apartment within the hotel very handy Workmen fixing lights, no lights on dark corridor, carpets were very dirty as result of workmen, mattress lying on the stairwell, dirty dishes & glasses left on corridor - quite suprised about the cleanliness or lack of... I would like to think this was a once off and the hotel usually keeps better standards !

the receptionist gave us a family room even though we booked a double room with no extra charge, which was really nice, it is right along the beach and the town is only 5 mins walk, it had a really busy bar and they gave us a quieter room because we had a young child with us which was great the room was really warm and there was vents right outside our window so couldnt get much air into the room, and there are loads of stairs!!!!!! no lifts

Reception staff were very friendly and helpful.The bar was comfortable with a good selection of food. The hotel was central and a good location. The hotel need refurbishment as it is very dated. There are no lifts and very poor access for those with disabilities.

The reception staff were friendly. The hotel did not have many guests but the bar was very busy. I requested a 'quiet' room on check in and I was given a nice 'appartment' at the back of the hotel. The hotel has a lovely view from the front terrace over the Bray Bay and it is next to The Porterhouse brewpub.
