Hello, we stayed in room 3 at Ashanti guest house 1. Room was clean and comfy. Staff were super helpful. Some things we had issues with. The wifi was spotty. The room lights were difficult to turn off as the light switch seemed broken or malfunctioning. S Bathroom door was very loud and not enough privacy. The room keys shouldn't be branded with the company logo. If the keys are lost. It's very easy for a person to figure out where the key belongs to. Thank you so much. We had a comfortable stay otherwise.

Gute und günstige Alternative zu einem Backpacker

Wann kann man schon in einem Haus schlafen, dass eine "Nationale Monuments"-Plakette trägt ? Das Guest House befindet sich etwa 200 Meter vom Haupthaus, wo die Rezeption, die Bar und das Frühstück serviert wird. Zimmer ist sehr ruhig, WIFI ist kostenlos und auch sehr gut, zum Fernsehen hatte ich keine Fernbedienung und das Duschwasser wurde nie warm und kaltduschen ist nicht so mein
