Best Bray Hotels

"Business trip, place is countryside, place is clean, walk into the hotel is a bit like a resort hotel, the room is large and comfortable, clean, English breakfast is rich, croissants and Danish suede rolls are oversized, different styles of juice selection, you can choose again next time. Overall satisfaction 👍"

"Fantastic view, spotless room, stylish design and very comfy bed. Highly recommend. Little problem with the room key, but the staff were helpful and efficient to fix it."

"This quaint hotel is excellently located next to the sea. The view was lovely. I sat at the window with a cup of tea and watched and listened to the waves crashing. The food is really good too. "

"很不錯面朝大海春暖花開。我是酒店當日唯一的中國人哈，跟前台聊了會兒天。因為當時攜程是擔保的，我到了現場必須付歐元，剛好身上帶的錢不夠。跟前台小姐姐一起把我的每一個兜都檢查了一遍，剛剛把現金湊齊。很愉快的回憶。"

"Wonderful hotel and grounds. Very relaxing. Nice change of pace from the hub bub of Dublin. Excellent service. Loved the pub. Would highly recommend. "

"The hotel is located on a small hillside next to the highway and is very quiet. It is a resort club-style hotel."

"I decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked. Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance. The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre. Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well. Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home. The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want. Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!"

"The rooms are relatively large for Europe. We booked a quadruple room and a double room. At least there was enough space to open three large suitcases."
