comments This hotel was lovely, we stayed in the new part of the hotel and it was very nice. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. If I was ever visiting Bray again I would stay in the Best Western Esplanade hotal again without any hesitation.

comments Hotel is fine, but just fine - very basic. Pleasant location and cosy lounge. Have stayed on similar priced breaks in better quality hotels with better quality facilities. Breakfast was good. Dinner menu was adequate - similar to "pub grub". Thought children's dinner was expensive at ?9 considering poor quality chicken nuggets or two sausages with chips or mash was the option. Also had no ketchup for the kids in hotel! Had nicer dinner for both adults and children in pub down the road at a better price. Staff is hotels saving grace. All staff very pleasant and helpful. Stay was fine.

comments Originally we were allocated a room in the old part of the hotel. The room was draughty and the decor was very dated and dismal. We asked to be moved to the new wing and it was far superior.

comments Far outweighed expectations after reading bad reviews elsewhere. Excellent value for the money. Friendly staff who we couldn't fault, we enjoyed our meal there very much and breakfast was plentiful. Recommend the 'new' part to stay in at the back, 'DART view' but quiet from functions and lovely and modern. We'll be back.

comments The rooms were nice but it was a pitty that their was no television in the main bar. Also, we happened to be stuck in the middle of a floor with a wedding party and its was so noisey that we could'nt get a wink of sleep on the second night.

comments I had read some poor reviews on another website, so I was not expecting a lot, generally I think the Hotel is good for how it is presented, the food was good and staff helpful. Service could be better and general hotel upkeep (maintenance) could be improved - but it is an old building and the price is not 5 star.

comments beautifull hotel outside, we stayed in the old part of the hotel, a bit like faulty towers, stayed for 2nites on second nite, there was a wedding and our room was just above the wedding reception, didnt get a wink sleep, complained to reception as they knew we were staying for 2nites, therefore they should have put us in a different part of the hotel in the first case, nothing was done. had dinner there on the first nite, my husband ordered stew , we were told, there was none left, so they offered roast beef, when the plate arrived, one slice the size of cup arrived with a few veg..... not quite what we expected, it was our wedding anniversary, well, i shall not go there again, mind you bray is a fabulous town, full of life and surprises.
