A pure gem !
Pros:

It’s a small place with wonderful staff. Nice rooms. Just the right size as it was described . Service was exceptional. I came at 4 in the morning and of course there was no room available. I put the luggage in the storage and sat in the cozy sitting area. At 7 I took a walk and came back at 10. Fell asleep on the couch only to be gently woken up at 12 to let me know that the room is ready and my bags are in the room.

Cons:

Nothing.

BIEN mais quelques points à améliorer
Pros:

L'emplacement est central. Vous pouvez littéralement tout effectuer à pieds.
Le personnel est agréable.
Des explications sont données sur les frais et taxes en supplément à payer (pb entre booking et les sous traitants Agoda et l établissement).
Le personnel est agréable

Cons:

Nous avons effectué 2 réservations. La 1er nuit était au rez de chaussée nous n'avons quasiment pas dormi de la nuit entre la réception ouverte 24h/24h avec la porte d entrée fermée de l'intérieur donc les clients tapent sur la porte en bois de l entrée. Puis le matin les travaux dans la ruelle juste devant la fenêtre... Très désagréable. Il était impossible d ouvrir les fenêtres il fait donc sombre. Les 2 autres nuits étaient à l étage et c était agréable.
Petit bémol nous avions commandé le soir les petits déjeuners pour le lendemain car nous devions aller en excursion et à notre surprise rien n'a été préparé nous avons du grignoter rapidement avant de partir. Pour le prix le petit déjeuner est peu varié et les quantités sont maigres il faudrait penser à un système de buffet pour le pain, les fruits, les yaourts il n y en avait jamais suffisamment pour tout le monde...
Un rapport qualité/prix moyen

Very lovely and charming spot.
Pros:

Breakfast was always pretty good for me, and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Everything in Stonetown is pretty close to each other in general, but this location in particular felt near-perfect to me.

Cons:

On this stay, my 'clean' towel looked very off-white to yellow, which was a bit off-putting.
