Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Stay - Gilmore Guesthouse from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Stay - Gilmore Guesthouse is often praised for its convenient location, with the West End tram stop around 15-20 minutes away on foot and easy access to the city center by bus, making it walkable for many, although some may find it a bit of a distance. Guests appreciate the well-equipped rooms, often mentioning the availability of tea, coffee, milk, a water heater, a hairdryer, and even an ironing board, along with convenient USB sockets by the bed, but some have found the mattresses to be quite firm. The key safe check-in is frequently mentioned as a plus, and amenities like the Tesco Express nearby add to the convenience.

The room was clean and fresh, feeling like a small apartment on the top floor. A fan was included. additional finishing touches added to the overall comfort. The room included a kettle, tea, coffee, and glassware for added convenience.

The accommodation provides self-check-in. Clear instructions were sent to enter the building and access the room. This makes the arrival process smooth and independent preferring a more autonomous experience.
