This Guesthouse is perfect for transit! My room was very tidy and big. The bathroom as well, with a good (hot water) shower. The staff is great and Zuchu a Pearl. She was very uncomplicated, full of energy& joy and let me feel to „be home“ from the first second on.

The property was very well located and clean. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. Good aircon and fans, and I was able to wash clothes here. In the morning, I found my clothes already hung up by the cleaner which was fantastic. Overall very good value for money.
