Guest Reviews
- Treacher (10/5): Awesome!! - We've stayed here before and loved it so much we came back. Really happy with their service and loved the breakfast. We will be back with our next visit. We don't have anything to complain about.

- Cherissa (10/5): Excellent experience and stay with friendly staff/owners. Would recommend to anyone. - Very nice place and is central. The lighting that comes into the room. I would suggest a lite tint on the roof panels to block out SOME light. Not everyone that goes away wants to wake up when the sun comes up lol would be nice of you could lie in a bit 🤪

- sethu (1/5): - Nothing at all infact I will never book in this place ever again The owner of this place he doesn't know how to treat guests , he told us visitors are not allowed and he chased us out at 12 midnight , he took our bags and throw them outside and he even broke our alcohol he said guests are not allowed but while I was booking they offered me 1bed with 2 single beds . I didn't understand y he said visitors are not allowed, but he offered 3 beds. He called his security company we also called the police to come and solve the problem and end up living the place and look for another place to sleep it was 1oclock in the morning we were wearing pajamas and he was pushing us to get out of his place ..this man he is so abusive including his wife same wtzup group .I don't recommend this place .
