Parkview Hotel

Parkview Hotel

8/10 Good
"Parkview has a very 20s/Gatsy look to it and downstairs everything is good. Situated very central in town with lovely surrounding area. Rooms are of a good size but could do with some central air and a fan in bathroom. Also better plug placement and tv/wifi needs improving. Overall for out 1 nite stay this was a great hotel but any lo ger than 1 nite and it would be lacking for us. Breakfast room and bar have a great feel to them. Buffet breakfast is well laid out and staff helpful"

10/10 Excellent
"We checked in at about 1 am, there was a number to call to get the doors opened to check in, so if traveling make sure you have a working phone to dial the number. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. There is live music and operating bar/restaurant down at the ground floor. We were on the first floor and didn’t hear much or anything coming from below. I would recommend Martello if you’re staying in Bray"

"First time staying there and everything was fantastic! While it is an older property, the staff does all they can to make you feel welcome and are very helpful with request. The breakfast was always wonderful. They offer supper as well and there is an onsite bar. We used it as our base for a nine-day trip to Ireland. There is a bus stop nearby that can get you to the train station and you can go to Dublin or just explore the coast cities. While I did not get names of staff, we never had one of them that did not greet us with a smile, and were ready to answer questions or make things better. A place we will visit again on our next trip."
