“This guesthouse makes a virtue of its location near the city center, well-served by buses. The rooms are economical and sufficiently comfortable, with thoughtful touches like in-room tea and coffee. I think that the uncomplicated, code-based late check-in system is a real advantage for travelers with unpredictable schedules.”
