This place is just beautiful. Ocean views. Well located. Easy access to train and buses to go directly to Dublin. Street parking was easy. The bars in the hotel are very lively on the weekends but that’s fun too.

Great location on the sea front. We found it easy to park close to the hotel on the sea front road, although a parking charge of 1 euro per hour applies. The room we stayed in was spacious, well equipped and very clean. All the staff were helpful and welcoming. Breakfast is served at the hotel but comprises a choice from the a la carte menu. Unless you only eat a small breakfast we found was is best value to pay in advance (12 euros).

If you need parking, book elsewhere. We drove around the area for 30 mins looking for street parking. The bowling alley a few blocks away has paid parking but this is not specified in the listing. We also had to walk through a busy restaurant with our suitcases and bags just to check in, and then had to walk back through the restaurant and down the street and around the corner just to access our room. The room doors slam loudly. The room had black scuff marks all over the walls. Wasn’t worth the money.

First of all the PROS: Location-you could not ask for a better location for the apartment. Right in the middle of Old Town with very easy access to everything. The CONS: The stairs-winding staircase that gets kind of narrow at the top so watch your step. The interior-while everything was working as far as we could tell, the furnishings seemed a bit on the cheaper side and/poor construction in places. The exterior- you are warned about the corridor in the description and it didn’t disappoint, but we never felt unsafe. Would I stay here again? Yes because location is the key.

Awesome little hotel with great location!

We stayed at the Martello for one night and wish we could have stayed longer! We lucked out with the best room in the hotel with a large waterfront view. The location is fantastic, the bar/ restaurant was very nice and large, staff were friendly and they even had a resident cat who came to visit out on the patio (which I LOVED!). Overall a great stay, we’ll definitely go back if we get the chance. I would recommend anyone visiting Bray to stay at the Martello

Location was ok in the middle of the beach area. Carpet was so dirty looking. Not very updated. Room was nice and comfortable bed, but Room 108 was terrible. Staff working and banging things until after 1:00 am. No lift for seniors to get their bags up several flights of stairs.
