The room had a fan. I appreciated the working hairdryer. I had glass bottled water. The bedding was comfortable.

The stairs are a little creaky. I could hear other guests coming and going to their rooms. This included their bathroom usage.

Adequate Stay at the Guesthouse

friendly staffconvenient locationespresso machinelow water pressurepoor soundproofingnoisy environment

The staff was friendly. The location was quite convenient (near public transport). The room had an espresso machine, a nice touch.

The water pressure in the shower was very low. It was difficult to have a proper shower. I think the room could have used better soundproofing (it was a bit noisy at night).
