4/5Smartlewis A.

A big hotel situated at city centre in Bray, Ireland. Easy to reach and locate. There are bus stops directly opposite the hotel. You don’t even need a taxi to get there. Bus numbers 155, 145, 14A and others from Dublin City centre and nearby towns take you there direct. For your wedding reception, birthday parties, silver or golden jubilee celebrations, Royal hotel is a perfect place for you. The staffs are hard working, dedicated and respectful. Neat, clean, quiet and a comfortable Hotel. Superb and reliable WI-FI Service available for every resident 24/7 and it never glitches and neither does it ever go offline. Your Security is guaranteed. Although, it is not a 5 stars Hotel but you will…

3/5Maria C.

Nice hotel. Good McGettigan's restaurant but a pity that now it's closed most of the time. It used to be great for matches.

1/5Fabiana F.

I just called the hotel to ask about the gym, and a man answered the call. He told me I would have to call another number, and he quickly told me the number. I told him I would write down the number, but he didn't wait and quickly said the number again. When I said I was ready to write it down, he quickly said the number again. I asked him to speak slowly because my English is basic, and he hung up on me.
