Stayed here with a group of 12 lads, no complaints at all. Clean, modern, spacious rooms and good location. Came back in the early hours of the morning from town and no problems.. I wouldn't recommend bringing younger kids as any noise can be heard in any room.

Perfect for a younger traveller

The situation that causes the bad review is probably very specific, and I would like to think it is not the normal way of proceeding of the guesthouse, but I was a bit disappointed and so I write my experience:
We were a group of friends that made a trip to Ireland, we were both single and couple travellers. We rented cars and we booked guesthouses, with both double rooms, single rooms, and twin bed rooms.
The problem is that the Rise offered the rooms for all of us, and that was pretty good, because it is not that easy to find a place for almost 20 travellers.
When checking-in, the people in the hotel told us that the double rooms were not all equal. Some of them had a king-size bed, plenty of space and an auxiliary bed, and the others were not king-size.
Unfortunatelly, my boyfriend and me got the not-king-size bed. What a surprise when we saw that the bed was a single bed, stuck to the wall, absolutely unconfortable! We could not sleep in the whole night, there was no space in the bed for two persons. Why do they offer a single room as a double room, and even charge for it? It was the worst experience we had in Ireland. And it was even worst when we talked with our friends, and they told us that they had not only an enourmous bed, but an auxiliary one! Why didn't we have an extra bed or a coach or whatever!
The room was clean, and the decoration and furnitures is classical... I didn't like it neither, but it is secondary.

In a group reservation, payed a double room, got a single room

For starters the walls are paper thin, which didn't help the fact that we were privileged to a live sex show upstairs at 1:30 this morning. I was more impressed with the guys performance over the actual room we had. (Good job my man)

The room wreaks of sweaty feet, the TV is minuscule and the pillows and bed sheets are disgusting.

Worst place I've ever stayed

I would start with the positive but can think of none.
Arrived late on a Friday.
Room was on the top floor.
You could hear every conversation, every breath almost in the building, and there were a lot!
Paper thin walls.
A tin of cheap coffee and some mugs on the landing, so you heard everyone that came to make bad coffee as well.
The bed was incredibly uncomfortable.
Discovered too late it was actually broken.
The only window in the room was a skylight which made the room seem like a cell.
Definitely not a hotel by any stretch of the imagination.
Relieved that I didn't book breakfast if the rest is anything to go by.
When we asked to see the manager before paying we were threatened with the police instead.
Nice!!
