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!
Rebecca
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!

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
Martin

Emily
Came here to see the Hothouse Flowers play but was super impressed with the hotel and grounds.
This was a lovely getaway vacation and I highly recommend for a quick trip out of Dublin. Get away from the hustle and bustle. Wonderful lobby area, great breakfast. The spa and pool looked amazing but I didn’t get time to utilize. Maybe next time!

Beautiful location with a view of the water! Room was big, clean, bed was comfy, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The weather was cool so there wasn't a need but A/C is not in the room. The fan provided was really nice! Highly recommended.

Very comfortable beds and lovely and clean. Bathroom could do with refurbishing, but otherwise the room was great. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Can't praise them enough! Breakfast was good and the food in the bar was excellent. Having access to the pool and leisure facilities was a treat.
Alistair
Stayed here for three nights. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was clean & spacious. The buffet breakfast was excellent with a good selection available. Overall the staff were very friendly & attentive. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel.
Verified traveler
Lovely hotel, staff really nice and helpful. Fantastic view from bedroom window overlooking the bay
Andrea
Overall not bad, we had to remind them about the VIP benefits and ask for them specifically
Brian
Depends on when
A couple of things I would say about this hotel. The lobby area and spa are nice. The restaurant has a limited menu but our dinner was very good. The rooms themselves are on the small side and do not have air conditioning or fans. We were visiting during a warmer time in August and with a west facing room was uncomfortable. In terms of the area you are about a 15 minute walk from bars and about 10 from Dunnes and grocery store. Don't bother trying to walk to the beach.
Klarna
Excellent hotel
Excellent hotel. Second time staying here. Everything was excellent
Sheila
Children!
The hotel was faultless. However, our stay was marred by aot of ill behaved children whose parents didn't give the slightest bit of consideration to other peoples enjoyment. Screaming and running around the restaurant etc. I would love to come back here, but only if it was an adults only venue
Verified traveler
Convenient comfortable free parking
Staff friendly and helpful. Room spacious and partial sea view. Although is over car park and was noisy one evening from people leaving late and shouting. Food good. Breakfast good and varied. Musician Friday & Saturday night although very loud.

More tourist information in the hotel foyer would be a bonus too

I was looking at Arklow where I used to live & of course The Arklow Bay hotel where we used to have the odd drink. It has all changed now!
Niamh
Great hotel, staff were very attentive and friendly, bed was super comfy and room was spotless. The lessors facilities are great and the hotel is a short walk to a shopping centre and many bars and restaurants. Beer garden and access to the duck pond are beautiful. Overall had a fantastic stay
Verified traveler
Good location, pleasant stay!
The walls were paper thin and could hear next door all night. The room was comfortable though and the breakfast was very tasty with good gluten free options. There was a nice walk by the hotel to a little beach. It is walkable into Arklow town too which was good. I was very surprised that the pool only opens at 9am on a Sunday, too late to get a swim in before breakfast.
Simon
Wonderful sea view from our room on third floor. Very comfortable room and bed. Dined in restaurant on first evening and the meal was excellent and the service great. Also impressed with the breakfast the next day. All round it was a great stay and good value.
Michael
Beautiful property. Rooms were clean and the food was good. Had a great time at the tiki bar outside.

The pictures on the app looked great and we really booked for the gym as it was in the area we wanted and had facilities. It didn’t open until 10 on a Sunday which is crazy. The hotel was incredibly run down, surprisingly so. Would NOT stay again.

Stay was fine, just fine. The property needs some tlc.it is out dated. The food was good but again the lounge/restaurant is old fashionned. The staff seemed overwhelmed. Had to wait for ages to be given desert menu then nobody came back to take order so we ended not having desert.
Room was clean but basic.
Bathroom was completely outdated. Shower was a disaster. Its a walk in shower, no door. Water was everywhere in the bathromm after i showered. Huge gap under the bedroom door which let in a lot of light and noise from people walikng in the corridor . The whole place felt a bit souless, no atmosphere. We will not return

Everything good

Needs updating. Our rooms were small and very warm. Windows opened very little. The cleaners used a very powerful, perfumy disinfection which was overwhelming

Nice comfortable hotel with good restaurant and facilities. Had a short walk around the pond and down to the coast. This was booked as a stopover on our way to the south of Ireland.

Views of the Irish Sea!
Great hotel close to the ocean with a great pool and fitness club across the parking lot. Walking trail/nature trail is a nice walk to the beach. Front desk staff was superb! Answered all of our questions, gave suggestions and were very helpful. Ate dinner at the restaurant and the included breakfast was delightful. They poached an egg for me and they will also make pancakes to order. Everything else is self serve buffet with everything you could want for breakfast ! A nice respite on our busy trip through Ireland!

Beds comfy, great window and view. We stayed in 7 hotels during our time in Ireland and this was the most expensive, which makes it seem like bad value because we had to clean the bath ourselves - it was full of dirt and hair. This was quite upsetting but as it was late we didn’t want to have to move. The corridor downstairs didn’t smell good which is another reason we didn’t want to move, we also didn’t want to lose our lovely view and comfy beds. It’s just a shame the bathroom was so run down and left dirty and hairy because for the cost you would really expect high quality cleaning. The hotel definitely needs updating and cleaning properly, or the price reduced to reflect the quality. I paid extra as a treat thinking it would be fancy, but even the cheapest hotel we stayed in this trip had a clean bathroom. Bit of a shame but aside from that we had a lovely stay.

One night in Arklow
Was just ok
Fiona
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

We had a fantastic stay at the Arklow Bay hotel. Our room was beautiful, the staff was lovely and went out of their way to make our stay special. Everything was absolutely top notch!

I’m happy we were only here two nights
Our room was on third level near the lift at the junction of three hallways with doors that slammed every time someone closed one. It was also directly above the lounge and the live music came right through the floor. In addition, there was insufficient parking available for guests. At one point it was necessary park up the hill behind a barn in an unimproved unmarked lot.
Our water view was over roof of the lobby and building across the way.
The buffet breakfast at the hotel is excellent

Very pleasant stay here at Arklow Bay Hotel. Staff were all lovely. Location is good within walking distance of arklow town. The walk beside the hotel was very good. Quiet place.
Stuart
Excellent hotel
We had a lovely stay friendly helpful staff

The bathroom was very substandard. The basin leaked,the taps had no pressure and the basin was very small.The mirror light on the left didn’t work and the right hand light flickered. The door opened onto the basin making it too cramped. The tiling around the bath was damaged.
We told reception , someone came and looked but nothing was done . The pillows were rock hard. The whole room needs a serious upgrade. Definitely not up to 4 Star standard.
In all very disappointing .
Reception staff unhelpful, but all other staff charming and efficient.
We will not be rushing back

Nice room and spa facilities
Lovely room which was clean. Very small TV but we just went to a nearby cinema. Lovely spa and gym facilities.
Tanya
We had a wonderful stay in this hotel the staff were expectional and all very warm and friendly from the receptionist checking us in to the bar staff even though it was very busy. The breakfast staff couldn't have done enough checking in and being generally very welcoming and giving suggestions on the local area. The food was all very good we really enjoyed are eveving meal and breakfast. The lcoation is also very central. We had a tiny drip from the room above but the receptionist staff sorted this issue hence why good and not excellent.
Valerie
Old property worn down in places ..some staff unhelpful firstly the male receptionist who im still awaiting his call about a early checkin ...staff member who approached us to ask us to vacate a table in the public area of the pub as it was reserved ?? Though no one appeared for a booking...The wedding party we were in spent alot of money and maybe abit more appreciation should of been shown to a well behaved group ....
Marty
Good
Excellent service and friendly professional staff.
John
I was working at the Dan McCabe with guest Sina Theil and had a fantastic time, then after the show straight to bed which are comfortably had a nice quiet sleep up next morning checked out to do it all again at another venue, the staff where very friendly and had no issues with my stay so i would highly recommend stay at this hotel 😀

Great hotel with lovely staff
Staff were a pleasure to deal with and were super helpful. We had a couple of issues on cleanliness but again staff were eager to fix (including swapping rooms for one of the party)
Elisha
Great stay, comfortable bed. Lovely food in restaurant
Victoria
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.
