Classic yet elegant guesthouse

Many guests felt that there was a meticulous attention to details, and as well as plenty of nice, personal touches.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Cramped, tiny bathroom facilities
The bathrooms are very small according to the preference of many guests who recently stayed. They stated that the bathroom is cramped, as well as the sink and the shower area. Moreover, it is quite dark, making it difficult to move around.
negative:
Non-working Internet service
Many guests were disappointed with the state of the complimentary Internet service. When they reported about this to the front desk, the signal improved but was still very weak and slow beyond usage.
negative:
Rooms need repainting
Despite having beautiful decorations, guests stated that the walls are still in dire need of repainting. On some rooms, paints are chipping off the walls, exposing grey cement.
