Very good
Pros:

Clean, affordable, and very welcoming hotel. The people were really kind and friendly throughout my stay. There is a nice terrace on each floor you can use. There is hot shower in the rooms and you can get food and drinks anytime. I would recommend to anyone. I was supposed to stay just 2 days but I stayed for more than a week.

Cons:

Pros:

We had an amazing stay at this guest house! We stayed for a week, and everything about our experience was perfect. One evening we were even treated to a complimentary dinner, which was absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay, making us feel right at home. Our room was spotless, and the entire guest house is beautifully maintained. We especially loved the charming balcony and rooftop areas - perfect for relaxing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay!
