Stayed for 3 nights in Room 2 (infront of Reception) and Room 5 ( in front of breakfast area), and then 1 night in Room 9 and 10 on second floor.
Great service and staff, they really do try their best to accommodate your needs. Mediocre breakfast - instant noodle should not be a part of any restaurant's menu, unless street food stall is the standard you are after. But they have variety in their breakfast menu, we appreciate that.
It is an old house turned into a guest house - i. e. the walls are thin, the whole outdoor area is a smoking area hence whenever someone smoked, we smelled it inside our room (Room 5). To maximise their space, there are 2 rooms infront of entrance/ reception/ common waiting area (Room 1 and 2). All the rooms on 1st floor were constantly noisy, we could hear everyone's footsteps, chats and because it was the holiday season - big chatty families hanging out until late at night are a nightmare for us.
Rooms on 2nd floor were very nice, walls are still thin, the balcony is the size of a walkway thus minimizing people smoking infront of your rooms, rooms are smaller, but quieter for a good rest.
Water pressure and hot water in shower are excellent.
You can do better with adding a couple of more wifi extender.
We so appreciate the staff, they are helpful, they let us refill our water bottles, they help us reheat our food.
They have a small cafe - staff should be trained to direct guests intending to chat to this area.
The guesthouse should have a designated smoking area - away from rooms.
The guesthouse should have a quiet time to allow other guests to rest - e.g. Quiet time from 10am to 8 am or whatever normal time people have breakfast. It is not great to have to hear children shouting at 06:30 excited to have breakfast. Or repurpose your cafe to early breakfast time (06:00-08:00)- away from rooms and then back to common breakfast area after 08:00. Since your breakfast is not a buffet breakfast anyway. I hope the guesthouse reads this review as we love the staff, we'd like them to keep their jobs. But guesthouse management/ owner can do a way better job at managing their wonderful staff.
Currently, I highly recommend this hotel if you're staying for 1night: location is excellent, bedsheets are clean, shower is great, price is excellent and staff is wonderful. I do not recommend staying there for more than 1 night unless you're there already and the hotel isn't fully occupied. Paying full up front as i did making a booking through this app is one of the gravest mistake i have done. We barely slept through the 3 out of 5 days we stayed there. Photos enlisted on this website are deceiving (aren't they all) - only 3/4 rooms in the guesthouse are of sizable space - the rest are tiny, trying to fit 2 suitcases in a room for 2 was a pain.
Very Good
