The family who runs Sonas Guesthouse treated us like their own. They were very friendly and accomodating to our questions and needs. The guide book they provide covers everything from bus routes to grocery stores and more. And they even exchanged money for us when we needed exact change for the bus. It was a great stay - we really enjoyed the whole experience.

We like to stay in a bed and breakfast because we enjoy chatting to the host. Think he must have been busy.
The breakfast was good, the short menu allowed for a speedy arrival of the food. I had the french toast which was very nice.

The whole atmosphere of the buliding was a bit too corny for our us. But that is only a question of taste and has nothing to say about the quality of the hotel.
Nice, tidy and clean room with a lot of small extras. We did not expect to find things like extra pillows, additional blankets, electric water kettle with tea, coffee and cookies and so many helpful information in our room. Great surprise! Room looked exactly as in the picture and the staff was helpfull and kind.
