Super friendly owner. She was very helpful. The location is great - could not be closer to the city centre. Area is nice and we felt safe. Room is nice and bed comfortable. Shared kitchen and bathroom were both very clean and well equipped.

Fantastic location! 2 minute wak into city centre. Free on street parking directly outside the hotel entrance but also available on the other streets around. We found a spot right outside, but you may need to do a couple of laps. It's not an issue, though, as there are lots of areas. Clean, comfortable with breakfast included.

    Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,594 reviews
    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
