We had a very good stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything went smoothly during our stay. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was also convenient and the overall experience was very good.

Everything was perfect at the Arklow Bay Hotel. The breakfast was delicious and we ate in The Pottery Restaurant and in the Loung bar and all the food was absolutely delicious. The pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna was also a very welcome treat!

8/10 Very good

Really good busy hotel. We have stayed here many times and have had no negative issues to date. It's a perfect location with a short walk through some gardens to a lovely sea view and ample walking areas along the sea. Wonderful start to the day!!! Great musician in the lounge area on our first night. The place is a hive of activity with bus loads arriving regularly. One can just sit in the foyer and people watch and while away the hours. I’m sure we will visit again in the not to distant future.

Easy to find rooms clean and tidy Hotel staff pleasant except for a couple of bar staff who didn’t want to serve us Nothing worse than standing at the bar and been ignored as they served the locals Can not fault the staff and team at breakfast they went out there way to accommodate my wife’s dietary issues Ie sorted a vegan breakfast Restaurant gets very busy on last night we cancelled our dinner as we had to wait. Again I except this but when other locals again get in before us this is not good practice I want a special mention to the service from Lisa in the breakfast serving I think her name was Lisa she was Co ordination of the whole service Prices were very reasonable

Excellent service from Dee on Reception. She couldn't have done enough to make sure we were happy throughout our stay. I'm quite a fussy customer, but nothing was too much trouble, and she really made all the difference. Thank you, Dee!

I didn’t have a chance to have breakfast this time but the staff was offering ne to have a take away or earlier than their schedule but I refused because it was too early for me. The room was excellent and they even gave me a welcome gift and free drinks. I will definitely recommend Arklow Bay Hotel for their good service and excellent staff. They are very accommodating and friendly. 5 star
