Nice room in guest house
We had a room that looked out over the main road. It gets a little stuffy at night, so we had to open the windows. This made it rather noisy, but otherwise it's a good place to stay. It's clean, comfortable, and walking distance from most things.

Very good location, easy access to transportation, area safe and walkable. Would like to have had a shelf in the shower to hold shampoo/soap, etc. A chair in the room would have been nice.

The hotel was ideally situated for us as we were travelling on a budget and don't mind walking or using public transport. The room was clean & tidy, and it had everything we needed. The host is welcoming and friendly.
