Location was only redeeming quality. The least friendly staff of all the places we stayed on our 2 1/2 week tour of all Ireland

Bray is a bizarre mix of posh Dublin and 1970s faded northern english seaside victorian town. A bit Scarborough, a bit Norfolk. Lots of amenities, restaurants, bars etc
Beach is large pebbles.
Bray Head walk is wonderful (currently closed for rockfall risk, but everyone seems to ignore the barriers and carry on anyway)
Great place to stay for visiting the area - Greystones is a slightly more upmarket version down the coast, Powerscourt 20 mins away, Glendalough 40 mins away.

Bray is a great place to enjoy a relaxed weekend on the beach. This small town is packed with great restaurants and family entertainment (the National Sealife Aquarium and Bray Bowl Arcade). We ate at The Dough Box, The Palm and Butler and Barry - all the food we had was superb!

Beautiful scenery, harbour and promenade but stoney beach.
Beautiful scenery, harbour and promenade but stoney beach. Lots of opportunity to visit Bray Head with amazing walks and nearby places of interest and also a short train ride to Dublin on the Dart.
Spoilt by a few large but low caliber bars along the sea front which get especially noisy/loud music late at night..However, there are some really good restaurants such as Maison Moli (breakfast was superb) and Dockyard No 8..
Would definitely avoid staying at The Strand!

Bray was a delightful surprise!
Bray was a delightful surprise! We booked our stay out of center Dublin on purpose...but didn't quite realize what a fun seaside town this is, nor how convenient it is to use the DART system, nor how enjoyable it would be to have a cliff walk we could easily access (about 7 km. to Greystones).

I loved Bray the more I experienced the more I loved it , I would definitely revist Bray.
The breakfast at Dockyard no 8 was so good I went back twice.
The wood fired Pizza 🍕 at the Dough box was gorgeous so I went back twice also.
I did try Gish and Chips at the Palm 🌴 but contrary to the menu the Fish 🐟 wasn't in tempura batter and although there was plenty I didn't enjoy it , unlike the mentioned previous places I ate.
I should add that although I'm not a veggie I do not eat meat so sometimes it's difficult to find something suitable on the menu but I can normally find at least one thing.
I will definitely revist Bray.
The interiors and cleanliness of this hotel is 5 stars! In fact in terms of interior design the rooms are incredible and have a gorgeous home from home vibe. Location is ideal very central with lots of great places to eat and drink, and right next to the sea! The complimentary goodies on arrival were also a really nice touch. The shower is AMAZING!
Thank you for the enjoyable stay! We will be back :)
We had a small issue with our room, but the staff quickly remedied the problem and switched our rooms. We appreciated their quick attention to the matter, and our stay was very enjoyable. The room was spacious and clean, and we enjoyed drinks and live music in the restaurant bar each night. This hotel is a great value for the price. It is conveniently located in the center of the Bray seafront.
I loved the amount of facilities available in the one building and it being right on bray seafront made it that whole lot better! even the vibe of the place was just perfect. everything was just exceptional down to the food I couldn’t fault a thing and I can’t wait to be back
Felt very comfortable and safe as Guidelines were carried out very well. Hotel was very clean.
Close to shops and short walk to Seafront.
There was a mix up with our room but Management were very professional and sorted out to suit our requirements.
Extremely efficient and friendly staff, lovely food in the McGettigans bar, great pool, kids loved the space and character of the hotel, would definitely recommend a stay here, also a good base to explore Wicklow.
Only negatives were that some of the breakfast items were on the lukewarm side.
Also wish there was an entrance for pedestrians closer to the front of the building as we walked into Bray from the hotel.
Staff were excellent
Could not do enough to ensure our comfort
And we had some special food requests. These were catered for without hesitation.
I would highly recommend The Strand Hotel
nicely decorated, fun interiors, beautiful bathroom.I liked that the hotel had a pub and restaurant with very lively atmosphere.I would strongly recommend it for a nice stay in Bray
Ciara was very kind and helpful with restaurant suggestions. The beach was a short walk. Ciara helped us solve a problem which helped us enjoy the rest of our time in Ireland.
We likes the the area, Bray. So much so see and discover. The Hotel was very clean and stylish. We had a lovely stay and would defenetly come back to firefly :)
Really super clean, quiet and comfortable. Had everything I needed and ideal location. Host extremely nice and welcoming. Next time I am in Bray I will be back!
