We go to Bray quite often and normally stay elsewhere.This time,however,we got a great deal at the Ramada and decided to have a change.I was so glad we did.
We booked a family room for 2 nights.The room was huge!! There was a double bed.2 singles and we had a baby cot too.There was a "sitting room" area beside the floor to ceiling windows with a sofa.Even with all this,the room was still very spacious,with plenty of room for our pram and (if required)another pull out bed.The decor was modern and spotlessly clean.Free WiFi was available.There was a DVD player and a childrens selection of DVD`s on the corridor on the 2nd floor.Tea & coffee facilites were in the room and our coffee,tea and sugar supply topped up each day.The bathroom was clean,bright and spacious with a very big mirror and plenty of hot water.When the windows were open,there was noise from the nearby road but not a lot.While the windows reach the floor,they only open at the top so are completely safe for young children.The staff were very welcoming and helpful and brilliant with the kids.A mistake on my bill was rectified immediately and we were supplied with information about the local area.The breakfast buffet was brilliant.We weren`t charged for the children as they are under 5.The dining room was modern and airy.Table were cleared quickly and we didn`t have to wait for one.As well as pastries,cereals,fruit,juices,selection of breads ,there was also a delicious hot buffet .You could also have take away cups and take a coffee outside.High-chairs were readily available.
The hotel is situated about a mile from Bray itself in a much quieter location than the town.It is within driving distance of many attractions and the beautiful Wicklow mountains.The lobby has a bar,big screen TV and plenty of tables.Parking is free.2 staff members,Jessica and Johnathan were a credit to this hotel and nothing was too much trouble and they chatted to my children,even giving them lollipops.When a hotel welcomes children,it gets a big thumbs up from me.
This will be our hotel of choice for future trips and we will definately be returning soon. Stayed April 2011, traveled with family
