Room was comfortable. It included a small sink, mirror, table, chair, small space for hanging clothes, and a nice window that could be opened to let the fresh air flow. The location is great. Breakfast was good.

Room 33 (I believe it was) is part of the fire escape route and is rather illuminated all night long. I asked to be moved and was put in room 32 the next night, which was fine. Nice place, location and good price.

Easy check in and check out Nothing fancy, very basic. Clean. But if you just need a place to sleep this worked great. It was short walk to BSI bus station and the main shopping and restaurants. Website said breakfast was 7am, I was there in September and told they were on winter hours so breakfast was not until 7:30. That is not mentioned anywhere on the website. I had 7:30 bus to catch so that was bit frustrating. Accurate changing on hours should be posted at booking.

This guesthouse was suitable for one night in the city. While the guesthouse was clean, the bedroom was incredibly hot in early September and even with the window open it didn't cool down. I tried to contact the staff via phone calls and messages but no one was able to answer. Also, the bathrooms were really dated and didn't feel super clean.

I was told there would be a private bathroom, but it was 1 between 4 rooms. I had to wait over half an hour for someone to finish a shower, to go to the loo. No breakfast before 7am which is too late when catching a bus for a trek or to the airport. More like a cheap hostel not a guesthouse
