The pool was great however we found empty tin cans and bottles at the bottom of the deep end. Breakfast was good.
On checkjng out the Reception only opens at 9am, we waited until 9.25am and still no receptionist had arrived. Eventually, the kitchen staff offered to assist with the honesty bar bill. It took them 20min to calculate what we had consumed, which was a total waste of time. We left at 9.50am and the receptionist still had not arrived. The slope in the shower does not work.well, it causes the water to stay in the shower. Had a very strong urine smell emanating from the bathroom area.

In general we felt really welcomed by the very nice Staff and assisted during our First steps in this City. The view from our room on the First floor was beautiful. The location of the guest house near a super Market and nice restaurants was a big plus. We felt safe returnig to the Guest house from there after sunset.
There was not a lot a Variation fot the breakfast buffet. But it was totally sufficient.

Very good value for money. Great location and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable.
More choice of cereals/muesli for breakfast would have been good. Breakfast left in the room when we had an early start one morning attracted a lot of ants and would have needed to be thrown away anyway as we don't eat meat but the sandwiches had ham in (- yes of course, we would have said we don't eat meat but weren't expecting sandwiches for breakfast!). These are small points- overall it is a really great place to stay.

Wonderful room, sweet house and garden. Sweet little pool. Very spacious room. Safe location and area. Great support with the laundry The GM and Meriam were very friendly and helpful. Also the rest of the staff
The beds need new mattresses. It would be great if the cleaning lady took a bit more care hair (long blond, which none of us is). There was quite some in the bathroom unfortunately. The pool didn’t seem clean so I didn’t go in

It's a 15min walk from the waterfront. There are numerous restaurants just down the street. There is a pool for the hot summer days.
Parking is available, but it is first come first serve. I did however have a free spot for the entire stay.
