Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The guesthouse is outdated in style, and the bed was uncomfortable due to its high pillow and soft, cushioned mattress. The recommended restaurant did not serve tasty food. The price of the breakfast is not reasonable at 7 dollars. Don't provide breakfast, and no air conditioning in the room. I was too hot in the room during the afternoon.
