I think the one lady with the glasses who works in the morning shift. Her personality isn't very friendly . She never smiles and has a very dull approach which is pleasant. Otherwise the staff is good.

We arrived after 9pm and the streets were just dark and unsafe. But the guesthouse it self was good enough to sleep. We had access to the guesthouse across the street. The environment in there was completely opposite to out in the street. It was welcoming, good food and atmosphere plus a bar with local and international drinks and a swimming pool Inside the guesthouse was great. Outside in that street I just felt unsafe
