In the main we were very happy. We were upgraded from a double room to an apartment. Staff are very friendly, it was very clean and comfortable. The food is excellent. There were a few things that made it impossible to give it a 5 stars, mainly noise related. The apartment was next to the rail line and another pub across the road. Triple glazing may help to resolve the issue. Also, and this was noted in other reviews so I came prepared, we stayed on a Friday night and there was a loud continous beat from the club up to 3am which my husband slept through but really disturbed me. I had brought headphones so I coped but won't stay on a Friday or Saturday in the future . The bed while comfy was actually too big for the room it was in! A super kingsize meant that at one side of the room there was very little room to get in and out of bed. However we will stay here again, but on a Sunday to Thursday!

Wonderful little hotel, very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

There's no elevator and no parking. We arrived on a weekend and is very popular for locals and had to park blocks away. The room is small but modern and had some issues with no telephone service and air conditioning was needing repairs. It was difficult with carrying luggage and items to the 2nd floor which is the lowest floor for rooms while the other rooms were on the third floor. If younger, this is the place for you but if older and unless you're in great shape and don't mind being without parking or an elevator this is not the place. The woman at the front desk helped us with our luggage but I felt that it was somewhat overwhelming for me. The shower and bed were adequate but the lack of parking with the threat of a major parking fine in the morning and lack of elevator made it unpleasant. We stayed in the hotel but there are apartments behind the hotel that do offer an elevator. The location is near the water and probably fun for people who have no physical limitations. It was stressful for me because it was difficult to double park in front of the hotel unload the luggage while my friend found a place to park a few blocks away. The staff and manager were responsive, it was clean and reasonably priced but would never put myself in that situation again. I am usually very careful when reserving hotel rooms but somehow missed the lack of an elevator. It does advertise parking but its on the street if you can find a space.

Staff amazing, overal ambiance is great, many options to chill around. food and drinks options super. Great location, especially for outdoor lovers but also for people who just want to relax and have a good time.

A lovely spot

GOOD: Bray is lovely! The Martello is a good quality hotel. NOT SO GOOD: If you enjoy the hotel's night life or you are a light sleeper ask for a room away from the DART line at the back. The hotel does need a secure area for leaving bags as I was told room check in was not until 4pm! I would also recommend that some of the staff don't talk about being hungover to each other, where guests can hear their conversation.

Nice hotel, gets quite loud until about 3am since they regularly have live music in the bar. Good place to stay off you plan on attending pub life, but for a good night sleep, I'd pick another hotel.

Great location right opposite beach gorgeous bar and pub . Staff lovely and the apartment really spacious . Minute walk to groceries and fully equipped kitchen. Bray buzzy and very walkable.

The hotel is beach front as per my choice, but the rooms are (or) 3rd floor without elevator (or) street level, with a small window not-to-opened and very noisy due to the street traffic, lorries rolling and loading beer barrels anytime and clients of the pub just in front of the windows, speaking loudly and laughing from 5 to midnight. Unless you are very young , I would not recommend this place. But… to pay 498€ for 3 nights you must be young AND rich !!!

Staff were very professional and friendly. Room was very warm. Soundproofing between floors could be better.
