Guests frequently appreciate the well-equipped shared kitchen, complete with complimentary snacks, coffee, tea, and even daily homemade cake or pastries. Some guests have noted that noise can travel through the walls.

charming guest house

welcome staffwooden designthin wall
the staff were genuinely cute, showing me around and ensuring i felt at home! the kitchen had everything i needed, with complimentary snacks, coffee, and tea available. the bedroom featured fine wood designs and a dressing area with a full-length mirror and wardrobe. i appreciate bedroom door separated the bathroom and dressing area and entrance of the main room.
during my stay, the walls were very thin and i could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway. it affected privacy.

I really liked the fresh coffee they provided. the simple food options were also perfect. I often found fresh fruit available. occasionally, a baked offering would appear in the kitchen. the staff made the place shine.
the room was a bit small for me. it also didn't look like the pictures. i think those were more expensive rooms. the noise was a big issue, i could hear doors and neighbors.

the location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation (i especially appreciated the nearby bus stop).
I was disappointed that the room lacked soundproofing. i could hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms and the hallway. This made it difficult to relax and get a good night's sleep. it really detracted from the overall experience.
