Posada O'Phelan

I wouldn't recommend this place. An entire family was living in the house, with random people coming and going, and we weren't given a house key, so we had to depend on someone to open the door for us. At night, the TV or radio was always so loud that it disturbed us. Parts of the house were uncovered, and when it rained the stairs and floors got soaked. It was also very, very cold inside, and we had to ask for extra blankets because the ones on the beds weren't enough. I slept in the top bunk in an upstairs room, but there was no ladder or easy way to climb up. I had to use the window sill, which left my toes and inner thighs sore and bruised. We were meant to get an extra shower towel, but it never arrived. There was no hand soap in the bathrooms, and toilet paper was only replaced when we asked. The girls in my group didn't realize we'd be sharing a bathroom with the family. We found dirt and clumps of hair in the shower, and the bathroom smelled strongly of body odor when we got home. The shower water stayed cold, and only got slightly warm after running for at least five minutes. Someone in the house smoked, leaving a lingering smell that was extremely gross. Breakfast was a disaster: one piece of bread with butter and jam each day, and some days it wasn't available at all. The Wi-Fi was spotty throughout the house, and most people downstairs could rarely connect. Very disappointing.

It felt comfortable and homely, and the staff were friendly. The floor in our room was really dusty and dirty, though, so I kept my sandals on.

The internet connection was bad, and people smoking inside made the place much worse.

A nice, homely atmosphere.
