Everything! Jean is the most amazing host. She was so helpful in finding vegetarian restaurants and planing our trip. The room and bathroom are very spacious and clean and it is in a very good location. We would definitely stay there again!

“Friendly owner and excellent location”
Jean is the nicest owner I have met. Right after I made the reservation, she contacted and gave me all information. She also let me my luggage after check-out. I stayed in private room which was comfortable. Guesthouse is in the middle of everything. Highly recommend😊

“Amazing staff!”
The owner is really nice, give me a lot of information. The beds are okay. They could have a curtain to have a bit more privacy. But for the price all perfect

I loved the fact that the hostel is in an old traditional building that used to be a Chinese laundry. The manager is really nice and available. She welcomed me early in the morning to leave my stuff. The hostel is very clean.
