“This guesthouse prioritizes practicality with its proximity to the BSI bus terminal, which is convenient for early departures and tours; I found the straightforward access to transportation a real advantage. The rooms are basic but clean, though some may find them a bit small and the property may show signs of wear; for travelers focused on budget and location, it's a workable option.”
