ClaudiaAustriaDie guten Bewertungen passen nicht zu der von mir gemachten Erfahrung .
Das Bild an der Wand.
Das Bad war nicht sauber, die Bettdecke war fleckig. Es war sehr hellhörig; nachts waren immer wieder sehr laute Geräusche zu hören. Es hat unangenehm gerochen. Ich war öfter in Hostels aber selten…
Isabel DiasPortugalOs espaços exteriores e conforto da cama.
A pressão da água do duche ( pouca água).
MarinaPortugalNormal
Espaço agradável , com jardim e limpo
A distância do centro, e achei o valor alto para uma noite apenas e para o espaço.
EdgarPortugalQualidade de estadia, boa simpatia de outros hospedes/anfitrioes.
Nada a recllamar

Questions about Gardens Guest House-Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at Gardens Guest House-Hostel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Gardens Guest House-Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Gardens Guest House-Hostel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Gardens Guest House-Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Gardens Guest House-Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Gardens Guest House-Hostel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Gardens Guest House-Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
