Arklow Bay Hotel

Rooms were adequate- very similar to travel lodges I would say but are very Clean and everything you need for a few days. We had a sea view , didnt use the pool or gym as we didnt have time as only stayed 2 nights Breakfast was great. Hot and cold buffet But what makes the Bay great is the staff - really lovely people Arklow is tiny so location is good Will stay again when visiting family

Title: Staff Shines, but Overall Experience Falls Short I want to start by acknowledging the wonderful staff at this hotel – their friendliness and assistance truly stood out during our stay. Unfortunately, the positives end there. The value for money was quite disappointing ( €500+ seems to be the new normal for 1 room 2 nights) The high room rates were not justified by the overall experience. As a family with young children, the room layout was a major letdown. The lack of space and child-friendly features made our stay challenging. Adding to our frustration was the damp smell that seemed to emanate from the bathroom facilities. This was not only unpleasant but also concerning in terms of hygiene. The condition of the bathroom definitely needs improvement. Even the breakfast, which is often a highlight of a hotel stay, was uninspiring. Limited options and lackluster quality left a lot to be desired. While the staff's efforts were commendable, these issues significantly impacted our stay. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and takes steps to enhance the overall experience for future guests.

Smooth check in and the room was ready ahead of time which was appreciated. We were booked with children and the only access to the room was up a flight of stairs. There was good choice at breakfast. Hotel surroundings are pleasant. Hotel bar is prohibitively expensive.

We stayed for a long weekend as a family. The reception and restaurant were really nice and modern. The rooms however need a renovation, bit outdated. Still comfortable and all one needed. All staff were super friendly and our kid received a cookie and milk every later afternoon which was super special.
