They kept my luggage for free, which was handy. I paid by card, but there’s a 6 percent fee, so cash is worth bringing if you can. The owner lets you pay later so you can withdraw money nearby instead. I booked a reasonably priced private room with A/C and a balcony. It was clean, practical, and comfortable for a simple stay. The building has an older heritage character, with peeling wood and some cracks, and the shared washrooms are basic. You can hear things through the walls, so bring earplugs. This works better as a practical base for solo travelers than as a social or touristy place. Most guests were domestic travelers, often men, staying between trips or for work, and generally kept to themselves. Staff help when you ask, but don’t tend to offer things proactively. You may need to request a door lock, towels, or toilet paper, and there could be a small charge.
