Firefly Carrolls

3.5*
This hotel has contactless entry, which is great. I'd recommend making sure you have a data plan for the UK as we had a bit of hard time checking in (for 2FA). (Thank you to the hotel across the street that let us use their phone. ) If you're equipped for 2FA, ignore this section and skip ahead.
The main amenities areas were well-kept, modern, and chic. Perfect for Instagram or a blog post.
I have to admit, after our stays in less expensive hotels/inns during this trip, this room felt really cramped. The bathroom was clean, but it really smelled like bacteria – the same smell you get when you clean a surface with a cloth that's been laid out to dry but not properly cleaned.
It's not all bad. I did enjoy the small touches throughout and the location is great for sightseeing.

Rooms are small but spotless, very comfortable, has everything you need. Location is fantastic, definitely will use again.

Loved the location, within walking distance to all the places we wanted to visit along bray seafront.
They have everything you need in the rooms — coffee machine, kettle, iron, hairdryer.
I didn’t like that it was two single beds push together, but the beds and pillows are so comfortable I am on the hunt now to buy them pillows.
Hotel is well heated and extremely clean.
Would definitely stay here again.

Good location in bray Towns main street.
8 to 10 minutes walk too sea front.
Plenty of food options within walking distance.
Rooms have everything needed for a night's stay. All the basics.
Vending machine on site needs refill.
Over all very modern touch in side.

I stayed at the Firefly for three nights. It was a great experience. The rooms are very clean, and everything is new. The location is fantastic. It's a 9 minute walk from the Bray Daly station and the waterfront. The check in was super easy. The bus stop is just outside the door. It's more affordable than many hotels in Bray. There is no lift. I asked for a room on the ground floor and was given one. I'll definitely stay again.

I'm not sure what other reviewers were expecting but this was advertised as room only and isn't a full service hotel. I was really impressed with our room, which was clean, roomy and warm.

Wonderful stay. Seamless process. Good, comfortable rooms. Communication via telephone great and staff very helpful. Excellent location situated in central bray.

Excellent hotel in, Bray main St. Great location with many charity shops and short walk to seafront. Local bus into Dublin city center or to Glendalough or EnnisKerry for day trips. Rooms are comfy and spotless. No reception but you are sent access codes on arrival day. No breakfast but many lovely cafes close by. Highly recommend the firefly in bray.

Last minute stay over. Clean & basic. Lovely room with nice decor. Good price great location. Parking around corner easy to find. 5€ overnight change. Easy access. Easy to amend booking details online. No problems with Wi-Fi or logging into Netflix account. Would stay again.

This is hostel quality not hotel. The concept of self service is fine but no lift so you carry suitcases up stairs, trying to watch any free to air TV over very poor Internet quality is frustrating, no breakfast or parking. This is Ryanair without the prices.

Decent rooms are very small. No free Wi-Fi when stated FREE Wi-Fi good location would recommend.

I stayed here two nights last year, I like the idea of automated hotels and I think that it’s part of the future so I was keen on staying here. It’s also in a nice location in the town, very accessible from the train station in bray just a few minutes walk away. My only issue is it’s a little bit overpriced for what it is. The room is basic. The TV has Netflix so you can watch movies / series which is good for guests. The bathroom is quite basic.

Excellent, single room with lots of space, double bed, fluffy pillows, absolutely perfect shower as lux, very clean everything. It's my second stay, previous was January, I didn't wanted to leave, it's perfect pick for Solo trip. Can't said is cheap for room only, but at end of the day is so quiet there, nice to relax.

The firefly did just what we needed during our trip. We just needed a place to stay and it did just that. If you are looking for a place for all the bells and whistles, this is not it. However, if you need a clean place to stay, at a good price, in a good location, this is your spot. Also very quiet in the room even though you are right on main street in Bray.
Parking is a bit of a pain, but there is a lot about a 5 minute walk down the road. Only about 5 euro per day.

Rooms very hot. Bed uncomfortable — 2 singles pushed together and could feel zips inside the duvet and mattress cover. Coffee machine did not work and leaked water all over the desk. No kettle for hot water for tea or instant coffee.

Such a great experience. We needed to stay close to Dublin for two nights, the room was clean well equipped and in an excellent location. The bus stop was a few steps from the front door and the train station a five minute walk away. Everything was easy to navigate and there was even a little station to refill your water bottle.
We will be back, thank you!

Super convenient little hotel. It’s right in the middle of Bray so it makes it easy to access everywhere. Fab little place and price is good too. Rooms are comfy and well priced and equipped!
