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

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Stayed here last year and no complaints but this year it was not a good experience, room was like a broom closet with screened windows because of the horrible view outside, even though I had asked for a sea view as it was my 71st.birthday. Food was warm but not hot and although I do like loud music it didn't stop till 3 in the morning. Never stay again but will stay in bray again but not the martello.

Cold

With the temperature in single figures, was expecting the heating to be on. Not even the towel rail was on. Had to sleep in layers.

Staff amazing and food always delicious and accommodating to my asks for certain food. The first room was so helpful to me so I wouldn’t have stairs to my room however this room on the first floor was noisy from trash and metal beer barrels being moved around outside my bedroom window and no one could fix the heat problem. They moved me to another room with beautiful views and nice amenities and the trip finished on a wonderful note. I recommend this Hotel wholeheartedly. They care about their guests.

Underwhelming I’m sorry to say

After years of using the pub was so excited to be staying here for 2nights, afraid to say we left underwhelmed with the apartment looking very tired, the window latch broken meaning the window kept blowing open and the food service at the pub very poor, staffed by young part timers who didn’t seem to care nor have any communication skills and took offence at any q’s or requests e.g can I have some cutlery pls… could we have some ketchup pls?… basic stuff - really not a cheap weekend at 390 euros for 2 nights without breakfast - sorry to say it was very disappointing
