I was refused entry to the Porterhouse (while sober i should add) on the 28th of May. The reason given was "you are not local" which I take to be a racist remark because I had an english accent. This is absolutely disgraceful and racist behaviour from the door staff at the Porterhouse and of course I will never visit... More

Ok Granted, the rooms were freezing& there didn't seem to be dedicated hotel staff but the staff that were on site (in the bar) more than made up for it. We did complain that rooms were cold, so not only did they fix the air con but gave us extra duvets. They couldn't do enough for us and that is... More

Having visited the Porterhouse establishments in Dublin & London many times, I was delighted to have the opportunity to stay in Bray. The first thing that struck me was the grubbiness of the front, outside seated area followed by sticking to the floor when entering the bar (not clean). Checkin in ok & room best described as adequate. I guess... More

We stayed at Porterhouse for 2 nights, the room was passable but we asked for a quietish room and got one beside the AC units. Then the noise from the nightclub meant we had to go back down to the bar as we couldn't sleep. When it came to pay we we overcharged by € 20 compared to the rate... More
