There are places to eat and drink close by as well and the bus stop is conveniently placed if you want to venture further.
Some of the guestrooms at Malabar Inn are rather on the small side. What's more, the walls seem to be fairly thin, meaning you can often quite clearly hear the people in neighbouring rooms. Previous guests have also stated that they found the lack of power points to be a problem, as well as the fact that the sockets available were not conveniently positioned.
The Wi-Fi here can be somewhat temperamental. Sometimes it works and at other times it doesn't at all. This can be quite frustrating if you are trying to research things to do on your trip.
Some of the guestrooms at this property don't have windows, which can obviously make things rather gloomy.
