Beautiful location and property. A very comfortable stay and very delicious food downstairs. The only thing stopping me from a five star is that I wish there was a bit more warning about the club. If you’re a light sleeper, I wouldn’t stay here Friday/Saturday as they do have loud club music until nearly 3am. Other than that though, during the week, a very lovely place.

Staff was excellent. They got us in early when we had traveled all day. Nice location. Be prepared for noise into the night though. The party downstairs rocks until way after midnight.

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.

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.

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.
