We were in Bray on a Rugby Trip to see Wales play Ireland, 6 guys of verying vintage. The Royal Hotel is in the centre of Bray about a 5 minute walk from the seafront where the majority of the larger bars are. The coach we travelled on pulled up outside, the driver went in, the manager came out to... More

Stayed here on a cheap weekend break. I only checked in with tripadvisor after booking and was prepared for the worst given the recent negative posts. I couldn't see what all the negativity was about. 3 Star hotels in Ireland are basically a small step above B&B accommodation, so perhaps people are judging this hotel a bit harshly. My experience...

I treated my 2 grandchildren (aged 3 & 4) to a weekend in the Royal Hotel. We were allocated a very nice spacious room with a double bed, and a single. There was also a comfortable looking camp bed made up which we didn't use. The beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were really very pleasant especially the dining room... More

Went to this hotel with a couple of families for new years, the rooms are not great, clean, but old fashioned, the bar had a great atmosphere and the bar staff couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. The hotel is in the centre of Bray town, and not on the seafront as in some of the pictures, but bray... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel at Christmas. We upgraded to a superior room and were very disappointed when we were shown to our room. Take my advise and do not upgrade. Perhaps the only thing to say about the room was that the bathroom was very nice. Otherwise besides the fact that the room was a decent... More

Stayed here with a group of friends in October. Couldn't believe how awful it was. The bedroom stank of chips when we arrived. The bathroom had a gap of about ten inches under the door. All over the room were these ridiculous signs " please keep shower curtain in bath to avoid Flooding"etc. We ate in the restaurant as well.... More

We got the hotel at a reasonable price, but that's about the only good thing that I can say. I'm disabled to an extent and it is poor in this regard. Objected to paying for the car park. Noisy rooms (traffic/shoppers.revellers etc. noises). More

Stayed here on New Years Eve whilst attending a wedding nearby. It was the most expensive hotel I have stayed in and the poorest. The duvet was stained, had no cover and the lock on the bathroom door was broken. Room was small and view was of the smoking area. The lift seemed unsafe. Hotel car park was full so... More
