Past guests say ...

Great place to stay -loved the air con in the room.

Many – March 2026

I stayed for 1 night. 
The size is a little small, but it’s cozy.
The room and bathroom are clean.
The shared kitchen is also tidy and kitchen utensils are prepared.
The location is a little high, but the neighborhood is not big, so it’s a walking distance
The front room also has a good view
Overall, I think it’s a clean and well-managed accommodation.
