Arklow Bay Hotel

We were moved to another room on second day as the first room was very poor, really helpful girl on reception on Saturday morning.

A nice hotel, staff were pleasant and food was very good jyst very diassapointed with the room. The room itself was spacious and clean but no view ... faced out to a wall up into trees and bushes ....not a big issue we werent gazing out the window it just made for a darker room but there was good lighting in the room. The main reason i wouldnt book again is that the heating wasnt working ... the room was freezing. I thought it might be on a timer so we huddled under the duvets (beds were comfortable thankfully). I did try every button and switch nearby and turning the knob on the central heating but nothing. Reported it the next day. Someone came down to look at it and confirmed the central heating wasnt working in the room do dropped down a small electrical heater. It wasnt too bad, took a while but took the chill out of the air. I did have to try 3 different plug sockets because the 1st two were giving a humming/staticy nouse and didnt sound good and when i plugged them out the plugvwas hot. Then later on that night we discovered via a near slip incident the grouting in the tiles on bathroom floor was wet. Reported to reception and again someone came up to check it. It was water seeping out from the seal around the toilet...obviously seeping when we flushed the toilet. Nothing they could do to fix it without taking up the toilet to reaseal it so put a towel around the base and gave us extra towels for the floor incase it got worse.Wouldn't be rushing back unfortunately.

A good hotel with pool, sauna, spa. Rooms are small but lovely. Staff are very friendly.

Great stay as always.Hotel was very busy with party night but service was still good.Breakfasr was lovely too.so overall looking forward to going back in the future 😃

Really nice staff. Flush takes 5 minutes to refill and makes lots of noise. The vent in the bathroom makes lots of noise too. The rooms are not well insulated in terms of noise. We heard the person above us snoring for 2 nights. No safe as written in the description. The curtains were torn.

Lovely hotel, fabulous food & service, only downfall, no window in the bathroom & fan didn’t work

A lovely comfort room. Perfect for women. It has an iron and an ironing board! A small hair dryer for drying your hair and body. In front of a large mirror. Phone beside your double bed. Dail 0 for reception. Use your mobile for calls outside. TV is on an arm that’s moveable. Bed is super comfortable. Ask for a blanket to be sent to your room. Gorgeous views over Arklow town from bedroom window. Breakfast is fantastic!

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.
