“Lovely building, cosy bedrooms, attentive staff and tasty breakfast!”
We only stayed for one night, and had an enjoyable stay. We had a very efficient and friendly check-in, and the property was full of character. We booked the Queen Room with Balcony, with was very spacious and well-equipped. Having access to the swimming pool was a nice touch, and we enjoyed quick dip in the evening. We ate out at Mitchell's bar (just over the road from the Guest House). The food was good and we met some friendly locals which was fun! Our breakfast before leaving was delicious, and the service from the Airlies staff was excellent from start to finish.

“a charming old house at a budget price”
The house dates from early 20th century and the ground floor public rooms are stocked with colonial style bits and pieces. There is a convenient swimming pool at the back with a communal fridge. A very decent breakfast was served at the adjoining Monte Vista guest house.

This place exceeded my expectations. The owner, staff and hosts were all very friendly and treated us so well. A delicious well prepared breakfast was served every morning. The room was so beautiful, everything to the point. The place was so clean, the garden and the pool areas too. I came to relax, rest and to have some peace and quietness, that was exactly what I got from this place. Staff friendliness and room service was a 10/10 for me. Airlies staff and owners your services and hospitality made us feel more than welcome. Definitely coming back soon.

Really noisy. We can hear everything between the rooms. Until 2 AM, there was a lot of noise also in the street. there is a bar just in front of the hotel. We left one day earlier because it was really not pleasant and we had all slept badly. We rented 3 rooms for 2 nights so we paid for nothing the second night and they did not offer the drinks taken the day before in the hotel. not very smart . I don't recommand this hotel.
