Rooms Irene — Hotel in Municipality of Folegandros

We were there for two nights so didn't need anything too fancy, just somewhere clean and safe to sleep/shower. From checking reviews beforehand we were aware that there were no staff on the premises and that the owner could be found at the family restaurant. This was ok. When we knew what time our ferry would get in we emailed to confirm that we would like the free pick up. There was no response so we weren't sure if anyone would be there, but as it was the owner's son was there to meet us.|Irene Rooms is situated in a good position, close to the bus stop and just off the square. |The room was ground floor. There was a small side window (we kept the curtain closed for privacy) and windows in the door. The terrace outside was small - opposite the cleaner's room/laundry and it seemed our terrace was a prime drying spot as we found the clothes maiden full of towels placed on the little space we had. Incredibly annoying had we wanted to sit out. Fortunately we didn't. Other rooms had bigger spaces and nicer outlooks. |The room itself was big and typically furnished in pine. There was a cute tea tray set up by the fridge. No air con but a fan and hair dryer in the wardrobe. Beds were comfy. The room was clean and decoration in good order. The bathroom however was minuscule. I've never had a shower so small and I've been to a lot of Greek places. Good water pressure and temperature though. It was just something we put up with. Our room wasn't cleaned/bins emptied over the time we were there. |We asked around the locals to find the restaurant to introduce ourselves to Irene to sort out transfer back to port and paying our bill. This was simple enough.|If we go again we'd look at other accommodation as we saw some nice places and whilst Irene Rooms was the no frills accommodation we expected it wasn't exactly cheap and I'd pay a more for a bit more comfort/style. Just personal preference though. Don't be afraid...

Situated in the traditional village of "Chora" near the restaurants and the bars ....the outside look seems a typical traditional style but in the inside is a totally different story :||Old furniture and rusty bathroom.||Let's not talk about the cleaning : the sower full of hair from other clients and insects in the wardrobe...||No air condition ...and when it's hot you can't stay inside..in the second floor where we stayed there was also no internet connection .||...well, in the same price we found another structure that offers CLEAN and beautiful,( good taste decoration ) and we thankfully moved after paying the whole amount at the owners ( that were not even polite when we complained for the...

Handy location right by the centre of Chora but the room was a real disappointment compared to the photos and descriptions online. No lampshade, loose wires, bathroom flooded when you flushed the toilet and the bed broke as soon as we even sat down. Oh and they forgot to pick us up form the port too. ||The rates were high and turns out we could have stayed round the corner in a lovely hotel with a pool for an extra 20euros a night...||The Chora is lovely though so definitely go, just don't bother...
