Liked: A very convenient location - easy to walk to the bus terminal and into main town. Comfortable beds and duvets. Easy to park if you hire a car. Very helpful staff and really nice breakfast buffet.

Disliked: Didn't dislike anything really but a kettle for the use of guests would have been nice. The staff would always fill a flask with boiling water quite happily, but it would have been better to be able to make a drink independently.

04 July 2008 Barbara would recommend this property

Liked: Staff is very-very friendly and helpful (in organising programs, solving problems etc.), rooms are spacious, location is superb.What I did not like was that we could not bring our own food into the house. Preparing our meal on a gascooker in front of the building in the car was a bit... uhm... let's say inconvenient.

Alexandria Cottrell

24 April 2008 Alexandria would recommend this property

Liked: Alba Guesthouse is an awesome place to stay for the money. It costs a little more than the typical bed-in-a-dorm hostel, but it's definitely worth it. We had a private triple room and everything was great: the heating, the comforters, the delicious breakfast with homade bread, and the amazingly clean bathrooms and bedroom. The staff was also really helpful with booking day trips, taxis, etc. It's also very close (10min walk, like they say) to the bus station where the airport shuttle arrives and departs. The only negative thing is that it's at least a 20-30min walk into downtown, but it's not too far. Everyone should stay here!

Disliked: Alexandria left no negative feedback.
