A very traditional guesthouse, for all that it poses as 'boutique': take your shoes off downstairs, don't smoke in the rooms, and with the exception of one room, share a bathroom. The walls are paper-thin; you can hear your neighbour breathing. The food is all right, in an odd, vaguely healthful, nowhere sort of way, and the service friendly. But it's a long way from the centre, and the whole atmosphere suggests you're staying on sufferance at someone's house and mustn't upset the host. That leaves the wifi access in the rooms as the sole remaining attraction, and since you're not given a desk it's worth squat. It would all be fine at a third of the price, in the sort of cheap and cheerful communal thingy some backpackers like, but not if you're shelling out 30-40 dollars a night.
