Overall the Portree had many good points. The location was central and everything we wanted to see in Waterford was within walking distance. Our room was clean and our breakfast was enjoyable. The only drawback was the smell of cigarette smoke, which was coming from the main floor of the house. Twice we went out and on our return were... More

Stayed at Portree Guest House from 29th November until 3rd December and found it to be very clean and comfortable. Staff were very welcoming upon arrival and really went out of their way to make their guests comfortable. At breakfast you are presented with an excellent choice of cereals, yoghurt etc, before receiving a lovely cooked breakfast, I would certainly... More

Our family (2 adults and 2 boys under 10) Stayed here a couple of years ago, so did not hesitate to rebook this time. We stayed in a family suite, which had everything we needed, and was presented very nicely indeed! The manager, Mr Walker was friendly, very helpful and polite and any questions or requirements we or our boys... More

In fairness to this Guesthouse, it did have some plus points..... But at the end of the day, we would not stay here again. It comes across much better online, than in reality. The positives: The man who greeted us was friendly and pleasant.... good wifi.... and the room was clean and tidy with some little extras like soap, flannel... More

A work colleague booked this to save money and unfortunately it was disappointing. The host was very nice but that only painted over the cracks. Small shower (nigh on impossible to get into) and rooms that have seen little maintenance and look dated. Investment does not appear on their list and with a little investment this could be a good...

The shower would cycle from cold to hot every 30 sec. Just bring your own tubes and MasterMix, and you could run PCR while cleaning yourself (Note: gel run not included). Life, Agilent and Illumina take note! The host was friendly, Wifi perfect, the building was a charming Victorian, but accoutrements were dated. There was parking, but it was a... More

Nothing wrong to say about this hostel. Good location close to the river and the city center, clean and specious room, friendly stuff. I spent there one night and my general impression is positive. In fact there was nothing special about this place but still nothing to complaint, it was simply fine.

The host seemed helpful enough but that was where the positive part of this review ends. The bed was rock hard and the pillows not much better. We had the Guinness factory right outside our window which, although not operating all night, didn't make for the most enjoyable back ground noise. The curtains were paper thin and moldy and did...

We are exploring Ireland and stumbled across Portree. The building is huge. We were warmly greeted my Patricia and quickly. He checked in. There is a Hostel in the very bottom part and ensuite rooms on the upper level. They are really charming rooms with very high ceilings. Remi ds me of an old huge Victorian home. Can't believe it...
