Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can feel cramped — A few guests mention that some rooms are on the smaller side, and basic amenities like soap or better bedding are missing.
- Service ratings vary — While staff are praised, the overall service score is moderate (7.6), and one guest rated a room experience lower (5.4) with no specific complaint.
- No on-site parking — The guest house does not list parking among its amenities, which could be an issue for those arriving by car in this dense area.
- Modest general rating — The overall rating sits at 7.5, which is decent but not outstanding, and some categories like rooms (7.3) and value (7.2) are slightly below average.

Rooms are basic but perfect if you're prioritising convenience. The vibe and location, close to shopping and the temple, were great. Downsides: small rooms and missing basics like soap and better bedding.”
