Great spot, highly recommend to Henro and all others. Close to a lot, not too far to Kochi Station and the main shopping boulevard/ markets. Super nice staff who will hang out to add to the life of the place - easy shower and laundry situation and right next to multiple bus stops.

An inn with a strong bonito fan base (lol)The interior is cute 🩷 The small room under the stairs is nice.However, the walls and floor are thin, so it's a place I'd recommend staying if you're sensitive to noise.Ideal base for sightseeing in the city.

2/5
It was a very disappointing stay.It's a popular guesthouse, and the telephone service was excellent, so I was really looking forward to my stay.However, when I arrived, there was a staff member who seemed to be new, and although I don't mind him being clumsy, he didn't smile at all...I felt like I had to be more careful.What was most disappointing of all was the young man who came into the kitchen. I asked if he was a guest, but it turned out to be the husband of the owner. I was surprised that there was no expression and no greeting.She acted as if she had no interest in us, and even the elementary school student didn't even say hello...I understand if she leaves everything to the hostess, but she goes out of her way to appear in front of the customers. I thought to myself, ``It's just his attitude...''I may not have any bad intentions, but there have been many instances where my story has been denied, and although I have stayed at many inns, this is the first one where I thought, ``I wish I hadn't come.'' did.I had to come to an inconvenient location to stay at this guesthouse, but I think the timing was bad for various reasons. I thought it would have been better if it was just the proprietress, and I felt that in places like this, the people are more important than anything else.
