Why Serve the food burnt when it should be binned

Reviewed By doyleulaca

16.50 Euro for burnt fish and frozen chips is a disgrace. This should never have left the kitchen. Customers should not be put in a situation to complain as there is a fear of retaliation by the kitchen staff if they do complain. Its this kind of service that customers really should be paying attention to and taking their business elsewhere even if staying in the hotel, try to eat somewhere else.

Hillview B&B

Absolutely Top Notch

Reviewed By Beckie S

This establishment is a total gem! We will definitely be staying here again! The beds are the most comfortable we’ve had thus far (week here in Ireland). We are across from where the TV show “Vikings” is being filmed, the view is spectacular and Tony, the proprietor is the cherry on top! He’s friendly and informative and super accommodating!

Had booked for July 2022 many weeks ago through booking.com, two rooms were booked for 4 adults and one child. Cancelled by the hotel for no reason. Not be back. Terrible a hotel will not honour a booking for whatever reason to suit their own means. Total farce

Reviewed By shwetap1317

Extremely clean & comfortable rooms. The beds are so comfy its unimaginable. Bathroom is very clean with all the essentials. Breakfast is decent. Unfortunately they dont do any kind of eggs so its just cereal, fruits, bread / toast, juice etc..They have 3 extremely friendly dogs which made our stay even more worthwhile.

COMFORTABLE

New, modern, clean hotel room with NETFLIX, coffee maker & other mod-cons. Online check-in reduced contact with staff to zero. Would have preferred a room not facing a main road, but did manage to sleep quite well.

This is no longer a hotel.

Reviewed By stephenkP4758VJ

This building is no longer a hotel but home for asylum seekers. I have to write 200 words for this to be submitted. There are other hotels in the town. The Royal hotel has pool and gym. Good location but very basic.

Fab base for a stay in Bray

Reviewed By Bryoney

We stayed here for one night and were very impressed by this basement flat. The host was friendly but not obtrusive and gave us some great tips on local bars and restaurants (The Harbour is a must visit!). The flat itself was very clean and very well decorated with a secluded and peaceful garden area.
