Reviews and Ratings
The apartment offered a breathtaking view but unfortunately, the deep cleaning of the beds was unsatisfactory. The service was impeccable with a nice touch of a welcome drink. The location, hidden up the alleyway, provided a tranquil escape right on the beautiful Victorian seafront. Dining included light snacks, offering a convenient option for a quick bite. The facilities were well-kept, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable.
The apartment had a beautiful view but the beds needed deep cleaning. The location was up an alleyway, close to the train station, walking trails, and the beach. The service included housekeeping and a welcome drink. The dining options were included, offering snacks. Overall, a mixed experience with both positive and negative aspects to consider.
The hotel is in a prime location right beside the beach, offering a stunning view. The service was impeccable with excellent housekeeping and a warm welcome drink. However, the cleanliness of the beds in the apartment was unacceptable.
The apartment had a lovely view, but unfortunately, all the beds in my stay needed a deep cleaning. Despite this, the staff was very welcoming, and I enjoyed a nice complimentary drink. The location was a bit hidden up an alleyway but offered a beautiful view just across the road from the seafront. The inclusive dining options offered tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes. The facilities were good, but the experience was somewhat marred by the unclean beds.
The hotel had a great location right by the beautiful Victorian seafront, but the beds in the apartment needed a deep cleaning. The service was good with a welcome drink, but the alleys leading to the location were a bit off. The homemade sweets included in the dining were a nice touch, offering value for money. However, the facilities need some improvement.
The apartment had issues with deep cleaning of all beds, but the view was nice. The location was up an alleyway, but it was right on the seafront in Bray, just across the road from the beach and near the train station.
