Smoking bay

Pillow

The owner, Kennie, was very friendly and welcoming. This is an authentic place to stay, away from the huge skyscrapers and fancy hotels. Simple room and facilities, but everything you need. Half hour walk to the main sights, but the place is close to the metro, so everything is easily accessible.

The price. But then you get what you pay for. That's all I have to say.

The owner can be quite overbearing. I think he means well, but he was a bit "too much" sometimes.

The host is friendly.

Need further improvement in the cleaning..

Annoying man, won't stop talking & selling himself...speaks nonsense, hears nothing. Ugly little rooms, gross little shower, in ugly family flat, in noisy slum. 'Cousins' making racket in next room till 2am. No signs, not even an address, despite being up 2 storeys. Towel not washed. Elaborate multi-key ritual just to get in & out. AC lip broken, blasted direct onto bed, wouldn't let me tape it up. Either no window or just a covering without a real window. Refused to help with a double-booking mistake, told some lie to cover for just wanting his money, and only pretending (very hard) to care about his customers. According to him, changing rooms long after it was already agreed was some enormous act of generosity from him. Even got a 'free chair' in my room! Confucius say 'people who gave good reviews must have felt pressured, or have rocks in heads.' In this case, the pressure was definitely applied. Much rather a nice place than the fake 'i'm your bro, give me good rating, even though it was no good' act. Best that people know what they are really getting.

It's a roof over your head for a night and doesn't cost too much.

Check in / unlocking the front door is very long a d complicated. Rooms and showers very basic. my room didn't have a window.

Kenny was a wonderful host and gave us many great recommendations. He was also very accommodating with the check in and check out times and ready to help us if we needed anything. The location is great as it’s close to public transportation options and there are plenty of good and affordable restaurants in the area. The wifi worked very well, we both work online and had no problems with the connection at all.

the owner was very helpful and friendly

The facilities were really shabby, much more than photos show. The kitchen and bathroom needed cleaning. The area had good restaurants, but on one of the days we were there the building next door was throwing furniture and glass out of their third floor window for hours. This obviously has nothing to do with the guesthouse, but made staying there feel unsafe and extremely loud. The street behind the building also had the most rats I’ve ever seen. We ended up leaving early.
