Nice clean guesthouse with wifi

Clean and comfortable room, a bit on the small side but that did not bother me. I was on a business trip and I could do my emails in the evening - good wifi. Will stay here again.

Very friendly and helpful staff; worn down rooms

The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the place has a very friendly atmosphere in general. Unfortunately, the room we got was small and worn down, and noise from other rooms/the general area travels very easily to the room. There is a nice pool area and the breakfast is good. The surroundings are lush and lovely, with a nice mountain-view backdrop. Overall, a decent budget option, but the rooms would need to be entirely refurbished in order for this to be a comfy place to stay.
