Cute guesthouse in a great location

Great location, nice and helpful staff! It was a little bit noisy at night from the music outside. It was very clean and included a simple breakfast which was nice.

Hôtel accueillant et bien situé.

Séjour de 2 nuits seulement. J'ai retrouvé une atmosphère de mes belles années de voyage en Asie. Un accueil sympathique, de bons conseils sur les visites touristiques et autres informations pratiques.

Decent

A good, convenient location. Friendly staff, clean accommodation, free toast breakfast each morning. The walls are paper thin, so street traffic noise and a crying baby in the room next door kept us up. Only one shower and toilet downstairs so a bit of a line when it’s busy there. Other than that, a nice place to stay!
