We didnt enjoy staying in an unhygienic , smelly environment
Pros:

Breakfast wasn’t included in rate
Only positive was the host was a pleasant man
However the accommodation was very disappointing & unacceptable for the price paid When host arrived with keys to admit us , the house was very cold , heating was turned off!
We are OAP’s with health issues & need heating more than most , especially in November!
Kettle wasn’t working , ( host did bring another ) we had no running hot water apart from shower
No wifi unless you paid
Decor was dull & dingy , outdated & looked like it hadn’t been upgraded in years , or even painted!
But worst of all the house smelt stale & damp - not clean- especially the bathroom which was filthy!
We had to use bleach to clean the toilet pan before use
I suffer from asthma & another lung disease so cold houses can make me unwell
Front of house looks unoccupied & neglected with broken paving , litter in garden etc , an eyesore
We were attending a family funeral & hotel was overbooked so we were left with short notice to find accommodation & had little choice , not many places were available
This house should never have been passed as suitable to let
We aren’t looking for a full refund , but my husband & I feel we are entitled to a reduction in the amount we paid We’ve paid far less for a night in 4 star luxury hotel clean & warm with breakfast
We would not recommend Gala House to anyone , sorry to say

Cons:

Everything could have been much better

Pros:

I enjoyed the location of this property. Although it is in a very Protestant area, we had no problem getting a fonacab taxi to our event in The Woodville which is apparently a more catholic area. The area was very quiet, no drunkards running about or anyone causing chaos.

Cons:

It did it's job. We only needed somewhere for one night to sleep after the event so really we didn't need much. The aspect of staying in a house with individual rooms was slightly jarring but I think we got lucky and we're the only people staying.

Cons:

The advert said private bathroom. It's a shared bathroom. Very tatty and unclean property
Owner was rude and very aggressive. I felt unsafe as I was travelling alone
I didn't stay and left immediately.
I asked him to refund the night and to date he's refused and so has Booking ,
Place was shabby, the owner aggressive, look for somewhere else

It was good overall
Pros:

Great value for money. There were other guests in the house. I was not sure what belonged to the house and what belonged to the other guests

Cons:

There were no clear instructions about they key to access the property. The other guests were trying to block me from the house. I had to phone the owner

Good Value for Money in a Handy Location
Pros:

Gala House is conveniently located, only about a 10–15 minute walk from the station and close to local amenities. The location was easy to find and I didn’t struggle at all. The house was clean and tidy, and most importantly, very affordable compared to other nearby places.

Cons:

Great location near the station, clean and tidy house, and very affordable compared to other places.

Pros:

Pretty much perfect - I appreciate being allowed to drop my bag off early.

Cons:

It was maybe a little too far from the station, but that's being a bit picky.

A once in a lifetime experience.
Pros:

It was an Air BnB, as in keys were left in a lock box and I let myself in and out. The room was clean and a comfortable bed.

Cons:

The house is located in a Unionist part of town, which is fine if you don't let anyone hear your southern Irish accent.
I think €80 is a bit expensive for an AirBnB in that part of town.
