“Authentic stay in the old city”
Very cute and authentic hotel! The bathroom is small but clean and the bed is huge but still very cozy. The owner did not speak much English but that did not bother us. It is located in the old city and a 15 minute walk to the main part. Tip: Follow the instructions to find the hotel! (Apple) maps is very unreliable, but with the photos provided we could find the hotel quite easily.

“Skip the generic hotels and experience an authentic stay!”
A wonderful experience staying in an authentic traditional house. The bed was much more comfortable than expected and I slept like a baby. Despite being basic, the room was heated and has aircon for summer. Relative to the price, the room is pure luxury!
