Das Bad war frisch renoviert. Jedes Zimmer hat einen eigenen Parkplatz
Der Club direkt nebenan macht Samstag ziemlich laut Party. Aber wir hatten ein Zimmer nach hinten da hat man den Verkehr weniger gehört.
Locality was great 👍

Excellent location and accommodation was high standard
No complaints
Great location

Location and parking were easy to find and use. I asked for, and got, a ground floor room and this was perfect. Tea, coffee and biscuits, and fresh towels throughout our stay were much appreciated. Very comfortable and clean.
Guest was central for what i needed. Clean and comfy. HK staff were lovely and very helpful. Will def stay again.

Loved my room and the fact that Nick moved me to a ground floor room due to health problems.Stayed here a few times and look forward to next time.
No fridge and tiny wardrobe but lots of hangers
The room was spotless and has nice touches, such as a kitkat, coffee, and biscuits. Everything you need for an overnight stay is included.
The bed was a little bit too firm for me. This is, however, a personal preference. Everything else was as expected
Location and host were exceptional, staff were lovely, and overall the building was pleasant and very clean
The mattress was quite thin and not the most comfortable to sleep on but the biggest downside was the size of the en suite - if you are in anyway a big person you will struggle to even sit down on the toilet and will have to physically stand up to wipe as between being squished by the sink (which is in your lap if your sitting down) and the being squished by the walls, theres no way your getting a hand down underneath yourself while seated. The shower was a good size in fairness although the door couldnt open fully as it was also blocked by the sink
Location, Ease of check in. Rooms are spotless We have stayed here a number of times and received the same excellent service. Will be back in November.
Nothing
Clean and bright
If you get a room at front of house you hear all the traffic even with window closed so is quite loud
Clean and comfortable room, centrally located in Irvine.
Smallest shower cabin I've seen, but no real bother. No personal contact to staff, all done by (automatic) messages
Everything apart from the noise.
Noise, but not from road, as that was expected. The opposite room seem to have a tv on all night. No way someone could talk all night like that! Gap under door plus sound, meant light & noise. Unless you lock the door, it won't stay closed either. Not sure if that was just the room we were in, or all the rooms.
It was clean and room was very modern
You were allocated a parking bay, but the locals used also so meant I had to park elsewhere, not great with a small child in toe, and owner said nothing he could do.
The location, the dedicated free parking, the clean room and bed.
The door from the room at the rear constantly slamming was like an explosion going off every time.
The room was clean
The bed was awful and the noise from street was also awful
good location for our engineers
The property was easy to access with a car park available at the rear side. It was very clean, decorated to a very clean modern style. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of space for storage. Tea and coffee amenities also provided. Instructions to get into the property were clear and straight forward. Great value for money.
Maybe some water bottles would have been nice but not necessary :)
Lovely room and good location.
Would have preferred a ground floor room which was bigger and more accessible.
Great place to stay nice and clean and tidy.
Centralt
Ingen städning på 5 dagar. Liten dubbelsäng och ett minimalt badrum
The room was clean
It was much more modern than I expected. Very clean.
Nothing stands out that I would change.
Absolutely lovely
Voor 1 nacht was het prima
De locatie.
quiet, nice aesthetic, good for a short stay
Nothing to complain about
Location great. Cleanliness good.
Storage terrible. Nowhere in bathroom to put anything but the floor. We stayed 2 days and found it difficult to cope without proper storage.I had a full length dress for a wedding, couldn't hang it on rail, had to hang outside of wardrobe space. Only cubes for clothes, personal items etc.no drawers. May be OK for one night but not for any longer. I left an expensive phone charger plugged in when we went home. As soon as we got back I left a text message to report it. Nobody has got in touch regarding this. I only live 45 minutes away so could easily have collected it. Not impressed with customer care.
Great property . Always clean warm and fresh . Love the wee shampoos Too especially when I keep forgetting mine. 😅 highly recommend here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.
The size and comfort of room. Value was very good
The hassle of accessing the parking due to spots being taken by non guesthouse guests. Some traffic noise in our room but unavoidable.
Le parking sous les fenêtres et une belle proximité au centre d’Irvine.
Nous n’avons pas vu nos hôtes mais ils sont restés joignables par tel et mail.
Smakfullt innredet rom! Grei innsjekking
Comfortable & clean
backyard view from room 2 can be better ( maybe some pot plants/ flowers and cleanup to create a more pleasant view.
Clean & comfy
View from window from room no.2. Could do with a cleanup and maybe some pot plants/ flowers to create a better view
The bed was so comfy
Nothing
Really comfotable
Location is great and very clean and easy to access.
There was a lot of noise coming from rooms 4 or 5. Lots of shouting banging of doors and although didn’t go on all night was very difficult to relax after a busy day
Clean, tidy and comfortable , perfect for my one night stay.
Keypad entry to the door would have been handy!
Clean and comfortable
Good central location. Room was clean warm and comfortable.
Very small bathroom.
The room was well decorated, comfortable and provided everything we needed. The accommodation is decorated to feel very inviting not to mention feels very unique compared to somewhere like a Premier Inn, Travelodge or even many other BnB's. The host was easy to contact and made every effort to help in any way he could. We always try to stay here when visiting Irvine and would rather not stay elsewhere.
Even though the shower room with the sink and toilet is a little small there isn't really anyway to make it larger and to be honest it does exactly what you would need it to do.
Was nice nd clean rooms were warm location was gd 😀
Excellent location, nicely decorated,comfy bed well priced.
Nothing.
Another stay here and lovely as always, easy to access we arrived early on the off chance of being able to drop our suitcases in due to being stuck on the mainland after a flight we didn’t want to drag them around the room wasn’t ready yet but the lovely house keeper popped them in our room for us. The room is comfortable, it’s quite has an actual smart tv with all of your streaming needs (most decent hotels don’t have this) and the pillows are great!
It was a bit cold to start with no control over room temperature but it warmed up eventually so not really a complaint or something we didn’t like.
Our host Nick was very communicative from the beginning until well after the stay. The price was fantastic and we were more than very pleased with it once we realised what the room was like when we arrived. You can definitely tell that great care has been take with the choices of décor and layout with not only the room...but also the entryway and all the way to the rooms. I was inviting and homely feeling. Once in the room there was no bland, sterile and mundane hotel feel. These rooms felt much higher quality to what you would expect compared to a similarly priced Travelodge or Premier Inn. There isn't anything wrong with these other places but at Irvine Guest House it feels like a welcome home from home in miniature. And on top of that the bed we had in room 4...WOW!...so comfy!! Normally I do not sleep well in hotels etc but this one I slept so well...almost better than my own bed at home. I almost want to know what mattress they used so I could get one for myself. Check in, and out, was also super easy and smooth. I would 100% definitely stay here again. And if you are looking for somewhere to stay whilst you are visiting the area this should be a serious consideration to everyone.
I have no complaints, I am so pleased we chose to stay here.
Very clean
Great location for what we wanted, close to family and looking at surrounding areas, beautifully decorated very nicely presented and good communication through email.
The only thing I could say is the doors in the building are quite noisy when closing them, but would definitely stay again
Everything especially tea, coffee and biscuits
N/A
Place was easy to enter, very clean and well kept. Entry/check-in and check-out were easy. Room size was good, bathroom small but not uncomfortable. Bed was comfy.
Beware - no elevator! Going up one flight of turning stairs with luggage was tough. Longish walk from/to train station with luggage - without luggage, no problem. Street was a little noisy at night, but didn't prevent us from sleeping. Not a lot of food options - Aldi is very close, a minifridge would be a nice addition.
De ligging kwa winkels en pubs en trein
De weg en met enkele beglazing erg gehorig.
Alles dichtbij als eetgelegenheden ,bussen, taxi en trein. En een kleine winkelcentrum Rivergate.
Het is best gehorig, de kamer deur van nr 4 piept bij openen en dat hoor je wel.
Everything was great
No breakfast pleasant and quite
Lekker dicht bij alle restaurants en het strand op een half uur lopend. Extra handdoeken zo geregeld . De kamers zijn fris en schoon. Koekjes bij de koffie en thee, klaar voor gebruik.
Aan de straatkant erg gehorig en in de winter kan het koud zijn, een extra deken voor deze tijden zou ideaal zijn.
Very modern decor, convenient location & parking.
No issues
This property is in a good location. The room was large, well decorated and clean.
There is no soundproofing between the rooms. You can hear every movement in the adjacent rooms. On the first night of the stay I was awoken when someone came into the next room. The bathroom is too small. It was difficult to turn around! There is a light on the adjacent building that shines in the window even when the curtains are closed.
Good central location, tastefully decorated. Easy check in
Beds were a little hard, shower a little small considering bathroom was a good size. Could do with a shelf or caddy in shower to put your things.
Great location Modern room with nice decor Easy to check in / check out
ROOM 4 - Shower hose pipe was leaking despite being covered in electrical tape Toilet seat was missing a screw and was moving about. Room was cold. No heating after 10pm, and only on for a short time in the morning. It was below freezing on our stay, and the room was very cold on both days. We did make contact via Booking.com, the contact said the heating would come on in the morning - which it did, but it was on for a very short time and didn't heat up the room. We contacted the guest house 3 times before our stay to try and get an early check in, but no-one got back to us.
Very clean and comfortable room. Plenty of space
