We stayed in room 6 upstairs. It's exceptionally easy to hit your head in this room due to the way the beds are positioned. Otherwise it is was a good stay at a lovely old guesthouse. The kitchen is well equipped.

We stayed in Room 2, on the ground floor and had a private bathroom. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Very convenient location to restaurants and shopping. Despite being on the ground floor next to the road, it was fairly quite at night.

What a guesthouse stay should be.

For a guesthouse/shared kitchen this was perfect stay. Everything was simple with check in, owners were present and friendly, kitchen was well stocked with plates utensils. Bathrooms were clean and were 2 per floor.
