Great location, close to wall painting street and Kimberly night market. So nice host of hospitality helps us a lot. The room with high ceiling gives us space for luggage, pretty good! The hotel also offers coffee, tea, hot/cold water and bread, which is very considerate. I will come back again next time

Loved my stay. The room was basic but perfectly functional and very clean. Great location and very friendly staff. I originally booked the room with the shared bathroom (it was always clean and only shared with one other room). Due to becoming ill I asked if I could switch to a room with a private bathroom and pay the extra, this was arranged very quickly and the team even offered to get me medicine if i needed it. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
