The accommodation is comfortable, the location is strategic near a major road, motorbikes are safe to park in front even though there is no fence. But it's a shame that from the start from C/in to C/o the Lobby & reception room smelled rotten and mixed with the smell of cigarettes. It seems that the owner never visits or lives outside the city, so the performance of his employees at the Guesthouse is not monitored.
