Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location right on the seafront, close to various restaurants and bars, providing stunning views. However, the overall condition of the hotel leaves much to be desired, with issues like peeling paint and unclean bathrooms. Accessibility is a significant concern, especially for those with mobility challenges, and the service could certainly use improvement.
Our stay was delightful overall, especially with the refreshing updates made to the family room, which was spacious and had a lovely sea view. The location is quieter compared to other hotels, making it more family-friendly. However, we did have a less pleasant experience with an outdated room on a different visit, and the bathroom conditions could use improvement. The hospitality was appreciated, but some rooms seem to need a renovation.
I had a rather disappointing stay at the hotel. While the location was lovely, right by the beach, the cleanliness and room conditions left a lot to be desired. The service was decent, but not as welcoming as I had hoped. Overall, the hotel needs significant improvements, especially considering the prices they charge.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The blend of old-world charm and modern amenities made for a pleasant experience. The staff was incredibly nice, and the location right by the sea was perfect for my trip. However, during my visit, the heat made the absence of air conditioning a bit uncomfortable at times, and the room I stayed in felt somewhat dated. Overall, it was a good experience that I would consider repeating.
I was really excited to stay at The Esplanade Hotel based on my dad's glowing recommendations. However, upon arrival, we faced significant issues with our booking and a frustrating experience with the management. Although the room we eventually got was decent, my overall impression was marred by poor communication and service. It's a lovely area, but the experience at the hotel was disappointing, making me hesitant to recommend it.
We had a lovely stay at the hotel, with outstanding service from the staff who made us feel welcomed. The beautiful building has a lot of character, and our room was clean and adequate, though a bit too warm for our liking. The breakfast was well worth the price, and the location right by the beach was absolutely fantastic. However, we found the room temperature a bit uncomfortable and the window couldn't be opened for some fresh air.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While I loved the gorgeous room and excellent location near Bray beach, the service left much to be desired. The dining experience was acceptable but not fantastic, and I found certain aspects of the hotel to be in need of refurbishment. Overall, it was a decent visit but not without its frustrations.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The family room was spacious and recently updated, providing a lovely sea view, which is a definite plus for families. However, during a previous visit, we did experience some issues with outdated rooms, and the parking situation can be tricky during busy times.
