Very nice guesthouse with friendly host who was able to accommodate my early check-in request. Small(ish) room but had everything I needed. The kitchen was great, every room has its own shelf in the fridge and the host provided for example tea, which I loved.

    Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,602 reviews
    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
