“What I noticed about this guest house is how it balances affordability with surprising comforts; the rooms are basic, yes, but the modern beds stand out, and having that sofa by the window creates a real sense of space. The garden seems to be a focal point, a peaceful spot close to the mall, beach, and airport, despite some inevitable urban sounds. For me, it's that combination of secure, friendly service and a good chef that makes it a worthwhile choice if you are looking for a budget-friendly option.”
