  • davegear from Ireland, has 3 reviewsdavegear says:

    I've stayed in hostels in more than thirty countries but this was one of the worst hostels I stayed in. 1. We were put in a hostel called Splendid Home Stay instead of Sun Shine House. 2. We were pressured from the moment we checked in to sign up for tours which we had no interest in. 3. The... more

    Good value for money place, but not more than this. I had a door to shared bathroom in my room instead of promised bathroom inside the room. No wi-fi available. But overall, the place is friendly & good for a short stay.

    this place advertises itself as an actual fully-fledged guest house but it isn't. it is a flat up a back street with a few rooms in it that have been done up a little. the ensuite is not ensuite but a shared bathroom between you and the room next door. not exactly how you imagine it for the price... more

    After reading mostly pleasing reviews we were very disappointed with this place. The rooms are very dark and It was dirty--blood on the walls from squashed mozzies--bin had not been changed, floor had not been clean, bedside lamps did not workl At least the bed was clean. We were meant to stay 2... more

    couldn't find the place!! drove round for ages with taxi driver and he could find it despite asking directions from 4-5 different people. This whole area is a dud for tourists - nothing to see, expensive, full of touts. Hotel would be very hard to find in market area - unreachable by taxi??!!...

  • helene6423 from France, has 1 reviewshelene6423 says:

    DO NOT GO HERE. The rooms are clean, the manager can be helpful, but it seems to us that the hotel was only a pretext for customers for the travel agency where the manager is gone. The atmosphere is so not what we were looking, and we avoid even stay in the guesthouse.

    Great hostel, billy was a great host. The hostel is tucked away inside an apartment building and their is no signage, may be hard to find so make sure you call ahead. But it was a great experience.

    Nos vinieron a buscar al aeropuerto tal como habiamos pactado, y nos esperaron hora y media alli ya que perdimos maletas y el avion se retraso. El lugar no esta mal, aunque no mas que para pasar noche. Pequenyito, donde Cristo perdio el gorro, pero muy tranquilo y la gente maja.

    The staff really pressure you to buy their tours and are only "helpful" when they're trying to sell you something. The address changed so it's not what's listed on Hostelworld. Noone in the area knows where it is, and there is no sign.

    They'll try to convince you that travelling by yourself in India is "extremely dangerous" so that you go to a travel agency that they happen to know, which i´m pretty sure pays them commission.
