Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Palm in Bray is favored for its spacious and modern rooms, some boasting fabulous sea views, including the room with a bathtub in the front window featured in advertisements. Guests appreciate the in-room amenities like Netflix, WiFi, and Smeg fridges, finding the bathrooms beautiful. While the location is convenient for the beach and cliffside walk, and close to the train station for trips to Dublin, some guests have noted potential noise from the bar downstairs, suggesting a room on a higher floor might be preferable. Overall, many consider it great value for money.

Really good Room and Seafront Location

spacious roomnice gesturebar noise
I enjoyed the room. It was spacious and well-decorated. the hotel provided cookies as an extra touch (i thought it was such a nice gesture).
there was some noise from the bar downstairs, it went on until quite late. i think i would ask for a room on the upper floors next time to minimize this.

I found some issues. The noise level from the bar downstairs was quite disruptive, even with earplugs provided. It remained noisy. I think the hotel should mention this potential disturbance. I wish I had known to ask for a room on the top floor.
