Review summary

Based on recent reviews

101 Guesthouse Hotel enjoys a great location in the city center, steps away from restaurants, food shops, and within walking distance of main attractions; plus, the airport shuttle bus stops nearby. Guests appreciate having useful facilities such as a fridge and kettle in the room, in addition to the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals. While the shared showers have good water temperature, some guests have noted that the pressure could be improved. the blackout curtains in the rooms are useful, considering the long daylight hours.
