    The value for the money at this guest house was excellent. The room was spacious, clean, and had good hot water and pressure in the bathroom. The location was convenient for exploring the city on foot.

    The food for breakfast could be improved.

    I recently stayed at the Orient Express Guest House for a few nights while exploring the city. The room was spacious and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Despite a language barrier at check-in, the staff went above and beyond to communicate with me using a phone translator. I also appreciated being able to leave my luggage for free after check-out. the Orient Express Guest House provided a pleasant and convenient stay with its excellent room facilities and helpful staff.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    As party people, we loved the perfect location, just a short walk from the city center and all the attractions. The affordable taxi fare to the city center was a great option too. Having a kitchen and free tea was an added bonus. Leaving our luggage after check-in was very convenient.

    We felt very well, no complaints.
