21 Jun 2025
Very good location, room was comfortable, shower & toilet facilities were good Breakfast was not as expected plus kitchen staff lacked cleanliness
Lei “Very good”
13 Feb 2025
Location - literally at the Darajani markets; the hustle and bustle of daily life, mingled with the calls to prayers and the scent of wood smoke, against an expansive urban view from the window (my room was on the top floor) Staff - friendly, helpful, considerate; the lovely hostesses keep the place safe and clean Comfortable bed No mosquito Great value for money
Valentina Gligorova “Good”

We were in the heart of the city. The location is great. I'm a fruitarian and fruit was around me. The sea is 7 min.walk. The woman who welcomed us tried to be everything good with guests
