Basic beach accommodations in a popular area. No complaints. Restaurant and bar on premises was convenient.

First of all the PROS: Location-you could not ask for a better location for the apartment. Right in the middle of Old Town with very easy access to everything. The CONS: The stairs-winding staircase that gets kind of narrow at the top so watch your step. The interior-while everything was working as far as we could tell, the furnishings seemed a bit on the cheaper side and/poor construction in places. The exterior- you are warned about the corridor in the description and it didn’t disappoint, but we never felt unsafe. Would I stay here again? Yes because location is the key.

Location was ok in the middle of the beach area. Carpet was so dirty looking. Not very updated. Room was nice and comfortable bed, but Room 108 was terrible. Staff working and banging things until after 1:00 am. No lift for seniors to get their bags up several flights of stairs.

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.

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.

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.
