    Our room was upgraded with the blinds down as well as the kitchen, and amenities like an electric kettle, a fridge, and an oven were nice additions; ))

    Location: the hotel was short walk to many bars, local grocery stores and convenience stores, and the main town-using bus stop 3. We thoroughly enjoyed rooms with comfortable bed. The stuff was very amiable and affable at this place.

    The kitchen was well-equipped with all the amenities needed to cook and make meals. the location was excellent, being close to the main shopping and restaurant street, making it convenient for exploring the city. Another advantage was the option for a later check-out, which was greatly appreciated.

    The room was smaller than expected, and it was a bit confusing to find the main entrance as there was only a small business card taped to the door. It would have been helpful if there was a larger and clearly marked sign.

    I had a fantastic stay at Rainbow! The owner was extremely helpful and responsive, always there to assist. One time, I accidentally left my room key inside, but he arrived within a minute to let me back in. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with a modern touch. I'll definitely be returning with more friends next time as the location is super close to the city center, grocery stores, and bars.

    Nothing, everything was excellent! 👍

    The location is absolutely brilliant, right in the heart of the city. The guesthouse provides clear instructions on how to access the room before arrival. It's great that coffee and tea are included, especially on chilly days. The accommodation is well-equipped with hair dryers, cookware, and utensils, including sandwich bags! There are cabinets available for guests to store groceries. The cleanliness of the rooms and comfortable beds are top-notch. The decoration style of the guesthouse is impressive. I will definitely choose this place again for my next trip.

    the room was small but had a cute balcony and enough storage space. the bed was really comfortable and the curtains were effective in blocking out light. the location is perfect, near the main shopping street and within walking distance of supermarkets, cafes, and more. the kitchen was well-equipped and I had access to a washing machine. The owner was really nice and responsive, making sure everyone was comfortable. Cons: Nothing, everything was excellent! 😊.

    The hotel is conveniently located in the center of the city, making it easy to access all the attractions and amenities. It is also close to the Culture House museum, allowing guests to explore the cultural heritage of the area. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms and helpful service from the owner. the fully equipped kitchen provides convenience who want to cook their own meals.

    The noise from outside and other guests can be intrusive at times, making it difficult to sleep peacefully.

    Great value for the money, the room was comfortable and clean with a nice view. Perfect location close to the main shopping street and convenient for public transportation. Staff treated us well.

    Breakfast option could be improved with more variety.
