Zuela Guesthouse and Restaurant

Good points: The colonial-style exterior and interior are tastefully designed, evoking a Southeast Asian ambiance. The hotel also has an on-site restaurant, bike rental, and travel agency, so you can find everything you need without leaving the premises. The location is also excellent. Bad points: The amenities were very basic, only a toothbrush and a tiny bar of soap (which didn't lather well). There was also only a large bath towel. In the room I stayed in, the doorknob was flimsy and locking the door was difficult, suggesting poor maintenance. The shower water pressure was extremely low, and only a trickle of hot water came out (this was the biggest drawback). Overall: If you're not overly particular about minor details, it's a satisfactory stay within acceptable limits.

Had a very good stay. We were warmly welcomed by the owner. We initially stayed for one night before returning after a trek. The owner kindly agreed to store our bags while we were away. Apart from that, the room was clean and decent, and the location was ideal, right opposite the night market.
