We were staying elsewhere in family accommodation, but visited this restaurant every morning for brunch. The kitchen was exceptionally clean and we ate well. I had the best club sandwich I have ever had at this restaurant. Highly recommend the French omelette and the Thai omelette. Great value for the quality of the food.

HORRIBLE RESTAURANT! NO SERVICE, THE WAITERS ARE JUST RUDE! They returned the dish right away, and in the end they started shouting at us, called the owner, who started getting personal and talking bad about Russians. Decide for yourself whether it is worth coming to this place.

The food was just terribly not tasty, either overcooked or undercooked, it was simply impossible to eat, what’s more, they immediately returned it back, the arrogant manager came out and started yelling at us, terrible service, terrible cuisine, just a disaster. It's impossible to eat

I have nothing but good words for this accommodation. Starting with its adorable owner and continuing with its staff, very friendly and pleasant. They have made me feel at home. It is true that the furniture is old, but the location, tranquility and great attention make up for it. In fact I had a problem due to external personnel and the owner took care of everything that happened. Finally, the big bonus is the restaurant's cuisine... Very good. One of the best padthai I have ever eaten.

Very nice location and food. We are vegetarian and the cook there understood our food preference well. Me and my wife visited the restaurant 4 days in a row and loved the vibe. It was nice interacting with the 80 years young owner too.

Good prices, good big sized food portions, good rooms, very good internet. Norway owner is really nice person, wishing him all the fortune(a bit scary when he chases you, just be brave and face him with a smile).
