Top Bray Beach Hotel Reviews

The Strand Hotel, the former residence of Oscar Wilde

The Strand Hotel, the former residence of Oscar Wilde

8/10 Good
"Small rather cramped room. Their designer made the best of a small space to fit what was absolutely needed in the room. Aesthetically attractive decorating. The bed sagged a bit and the head was a little lower than the foot due the settling of the floor. The restaurant offered an extensive menu and the food was taste, however the mussels in the seafood spaghetti probably was responsible for making me ill. Great location for enjoying an Irish seaside experience."

"First time in Ireland. This was our first experience during our stay and couldn’t be more impressed. Wish we stayed the entire trip. Hospitality was next level, truly. Rooms were updated, fresh pastries delivered to your door each morning, stocked fridge with meat, cheese, grapes, sparkling apple juice, fresh milk, water… just incredible. My wife had the best espresso martini she’s ever had in the (I think new?) pub/restaurant attached. And, the town… AMAZING. Picturesque. It felt like a story book- the quaint feeling, amazing food, bell tower, everything. Won’t be back for a few years I’d suspect, but when we do, there’s no way we don’t stay here. Slainte to the entire staff, and the entire town, for that matter."
