Cash required on arrival; no prior notice
Not sure whether to pin this on the Guest House or on hotels.com…but not only do they require you to pay on arrival (booking merely holds the room), but they insist you pay cash. My hotels.com confirmation only said payment was required at the property; it did not say it had to be cash. Do a better job communicating with each other. If they’re going to insist on having a couple hundred Euros cash in hand when checking in, advance notice should be given

I cannot review as this hotel gave my room to another person before I arrived. This caused huge upset and a frantic look around for other accomodation.

NEVER STAY HERE.
This room was tiny and extremely noisy. Unable to sleep with window open and the air conditioning was dripping on me during the night. I asked for an airport transfer car at 4am - they said it had been ordered and it didn’t come. There was no one available at reception to get some help despite the fact it was supposed to be manned 24 hours. Also they asked for my payment in cash on arrival despite having my credit card. My stay was uncomfortable and expensive for the conditions. I didn’t find the staff helpful but they are probably being paid a pittance. Oh. And the toilet smelt - not nice in a tiny room.

The room was too small, way too many stairs without management help and no one at the desk when needed. Also no mini fridge which is so important for cold drinks and necessary medicine.

The room was very clean and it was perfect for what we needed. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The access to the guest house is through some stairs which with luggage and a pushchair can be a little difficult. It’s only 5 minutes away from the train station. But overall it was a really great stay.

It was exactly what it said it was, a guest house so a simple room and bathroom. Clean, area was so so but only 2 blocks from the main areas of town. Free parking right out front.

Small but effective
We used this place to for a quick over nighter, we literally checked in at 9pm, slept and left at 7am the next morning. It was ideal becausenit was a.couple of minutes walk to the train station, it was also an easy uber ride from the airport (€9). It looked well maintained, check in was super quick and easy, room was very very small but clean, but you get what you pay for and this little room suited us for some where to sleep for a few hours.
