Tranquil

I have stayed here many times and always feel welcome and cared for here . I had a lovely room with a beautiful view of the harbour and i liked how my balcony wasn't looked upon . The A C was very efficient and i had plenty of room considering i was a solo traveller 😊 lovely staff as always . I will definitely return👍

2nd time we have stayed here. Staff are always so friendly and helpful which makes it a great place to stay. I do feel the rooms are a bit tired and could probably benefit for a freshen up. Other than that lovely place great location.

We only stayed for 1 night, and as we had a late check in,we literally just slept there. We paid 10.50€ for breakfast each which was fine, buffet style, plenty of choice, good value for money. Only thing i didnt like was the balcony was tiny , not all were, and as it was 1 night it didnt matter.

Lovely staff, amazing view, but not a quiet room.

A good place, a cool staff, but very small rooms, and the most important : we hear everything! Any sound from the corridor and from other rooms. I love the sea view, the balcony is great, i love the place... but it is impossible to me to stay somewhere so noisy...the first night I couldn't sleep because of a guy in the room next to us talking on phone from 10pm to 1am+, next night it was TV sound from two rooms. I don't understand how it is possible to enjoy a stay in these conditions. I Had to move to another hotel asap.

This hotel has some good things and bad things, good is the location and not noisy ( except one night with load birthday party lasting till midnight). But the rooms are not great and charging 3 euros a night for safe and it’s tiny not attached to a wall, when most don’t charge now. Also spent most of holiday with poor cold showers with low water pressure. Took 4 complaints to get someone to respond. They need to sort water problems and better customer service. Also standard of painting in rooms is poor and basic furniture.

Not really four star quality.

Although it has many good points the Gillieru cannot really call itself a 4* hotel. Yes the location is good, overlooking the picturesque St Pauls Bay and the staff are all very friendly, but the facilities are starting to look 'tired'. There is nothing majorly wrong but a few niggles lead to a less than perfect experience. The room air conditioning was very noisy and not very effective, leaving us to turn it off and sleep with the windows open, which lead to a lot of traffic noise late at night and early in the mornings. The quality of the linen varied widely, some days excellent some much less so. The shower outlet was very low, I am only 1.7m tall and it was below my head. The bathroom basin had several chips in it. Anyone staying here with a car, do not go out in it on Saturday night as it is next to impossible to find a parking space within a mile when you return.

Magnifique endroit, infrastructure à améliorer

Le mobilier de la chambre est ancien, l’électricité pas à niveau, la salle de bain est simple (pas d’endroit pour poser une trousse de toilette), la pression d’eau froide est insuffisante et l’eau est très chaude. Belle terrasse mais le jjacuzzi était trop chaud et pas utilisable le premier jour. Le lobby et le restaurant sont rénovés. Le petit déjeuner est moyen. La piscine est petite et ancienne. L’endroit au bord de l’eau, est magnifique.
