Best location for going to multiple tourist locations. Room looks exactly as in the picture. They even provided an extra mattress for my brother and all the extra amenities! Lovely people, oh they also gave us fresh bread, 1st day was coffee bread and the other day was orange bread. Amazing! Highly recommend this to people who are indecisive and have hard time deciding, like me. I went through multiple hotels and home stays and finally decided on this one and I must say, I’m blessed to have stayed here. Thanks to the owners for being so kind and nice. 💕

It’s a new accommodation in town but doesn’t have the freshly renovated smell at all! The bed is very comfy and I slept like a baby throughout the night. It’s a shared bathroom hotel but the hotel only accommodates dozen of people at the same time thus they are cleaned and well maintained. Very close to the hot tourist spots and restaurants. A cleaner is here to keep the whole place hygienic. Not to mention the indoor plants make the space really nice and green. Would love to stay here again.
