Location was ok in the middle of the beach area. Carpet was so dirty looking. Not very updated. Room was nice and comfortable bed, but Room 108 was terrible. Staff working and banging things until after 1:00 am. No lift for seniors to get their bags up several flights of stairs.

Awesome little hotel with great location!

We stayed at the Martello for one night and wish we could have stayed longer! We lucked out with the best room in the hotel with a large waterfront view. The location is fantastic, the bar/ restaurant was very nice and large, staff were friendly and they even had a resident cat who came to visit out on the patio (which I LOVED!). Overall a great stay, we’ll definitely go back if we get the chance. I would recommend anyone visiting Bray to stay at the Martello

Stayed here last year and no complaints but this year it was not a good experience, room was like a broom closet with screened windows because of the horrible view outside, even though I had asked for a sea view as it was my 71st.birthday. Food was warm but not hot and although I do like loud music it didn't stop till 3 in the morning. Never stay again but will stay in bray again but not the martello.
