Great location. Super easy and fast check in and out. Easy to find street parking nearby.
Natascha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room 33 (I believe it was) is part of the fire escape route and is rather illuminated all night long. I asked to be moved and was put in room 32 the next night, which was fine. Nice place, location and good price.

Mustafa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The kitchen facilities were great. The staff was welcoming and helpful and it was nice to stay in the studio room but lots of stairs going up. Property was well maintained and a nice breakfast to start the day.

Property was well located with free street parking nearby. Staff were friendly , room was fine. Towels could be replaced with newer ones but that's a small thing.

Nice stay / Twin Room Private

Super friendly staff, this was a good option for staying within walking distance of the popular tourist areas :-)
Sherrie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy check in and check out Nothing fancy, very basic. Clean. But if you just need a place to sleep this worked great. It was short walk to BSI bus station and the main shopping and restaurants. Website said breakfast was 7am, I was there in September and told they were on winter hours so breakfast was not until 7:30. That is not mentioned anywhere on the website. I had 7:30 bus to catch so that was bit frustrating. Accurate changing on hours should be posted at booking.

Budget but great value and location

This is a budget guesthouse. That being said, the staff was very responsive booking us a return bus pickup to the airport and the breakfast was varied with fresh baked bread.
