The owners, Asri and Lin are complete gems! They were extremely helpful in giving us pointers about what to do and where to go within the city. They even gave us a highlighted map, which came into great use. The room that we stayed in was quite large, comfortable and was great value. The guest house is in prime location,... More

I was here for 2 nights and had a fantastic stay. The hosts are very warm and welcoming. Right when I arrived, Asri sat down with me, highlighting a map which I then used as my guide during my time there. The place is super clean and comfortable, including the shared bathrooms; and in a perfect location, in Chinatown but... More

If you're staying more than a day or so, you'll likely end up in room 8, which is big enough to do yoga in and overlooks the beautiful river. Loved this place for its large room, great location, and lovely staff. More

I stayed here in March for four nights and did not want to leave. The room (room 8) was on the top floor, looking out onto the river. The room was large and clean with shared bathroom. The owners, Asri and his wife, are so friendly and helpful. They provide you with a map and give you tips on where... More

Good price, good location (just by the river, few minutes away from Jonker street), very friendly staff. When we arrived, our room wasn't ready, so in the meantime they gave us a map and told us all about places to visit. The room was in the first floor, clean and with the street view. And AC, which worked great. More

Fantastic hosts full of very good info (like where to eat, what museums are worthwhile etc.), spotless rooms in a very good location. On the river, it is a few minutes walk to all the sites, but off busy streets. The even is a shop next door that sells cold beer! There are a variety of rooms, some on the... More

I loved this guest house and Asri and his wife could not have been more friendly or helpful. The location was great and the canalside setting was very pretty. Chatting to other guests and/or Asri while watching the boats go by and listening to the birds at sundown was great. I had a single room on the top floor with... More
