Most of all this Guesthouse has a very nice and helpful host. May stayed in contact before I arrived, upgraded my room, gave me useful travel advice and even took me around to see the city. The hotel was very clean , had an excellent location and offered cold drinking water and snacksf or free. I would love to go back.

The room was really clean (can barefoot) and spacious. The communication with the host was very smooth via WhatsApp and the location was super duper strategic. Highly recommend staying in room 203 as it has a very good view of the nearby Jonker street. The shared bathroom was clean and spacious. The water pressure is low but sufficient to use. I highly recommend visiting this place if you are planning to walk around Jonker area.
