Was the Lonely Planet recommended choice in our (2004) edition but will have undoubtedly lost that mantle by now we're sure. It's still a gorgeous old house but the owners have turned their attention to a couple of larger, more elegant establishments, with the result that this now looks quite neglected and run-down. Nevertheless it is still an atmospheric place to stay – if you don't mind keeping your valuables and money on you at all times – we had some money stolen from our room at the same time the room was cleaned, and management acted as if they did not understand us when we complained. Rather than press home the point by calling the police, we had a bus to catch, so left it at that. However, be warned. If you stay here, bargain hard to reduce the price and do not leave anything in your room you mind losing.Bathroom: private
View: Courtyard
Cost: 280000R including basic breakfast
Recommended: No, sadly, due to our experience of theft at this hotel. Spend your money on the Silk Road or Orient Hotel instead (both of which we viewed but did not stay at).
