Our room was clean and comfy, but the breakfast could’ve used a bit more variety. Super friendly host and great location made up for it, though!

I had a delightful stay at Capital Guest House with a clean, spacious room that offered a comfortable ensuite shower. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, even providing gluten-free bread for breakfast upon learning of my dietary needs without me asking.

The room was clean and comfortable enough for a short stay, with the privacy of having a private bathroom across the hall—though it felt a bit cramped. The location struck a decent balance, allowing a peaceful retreat yet still being a manageable walk to the city center, around 25 minutes if the weather's cooperative.
The room was quite small, making it tricky to maneuver luggage without it getting in the way. I encountered a persistent bad smell in the room that didn't improve even with the windows wide open, and hot water in the shower was dreadfully slow to come out, wasting time as I waited. While I appreciate a no-frills approach, the lack of breakfast options was disappointing, with only basic items that failed to impress, like tinned fruit and weak coffee. it felt like the space needed more attention to maintenance to enhance the overall experience.

the capital had a decent location, just a bit further from the city center than we thought. the bus transport was reliable and made getting around easy. our twin room with a private bathroom was clean enough, and the service was friendly, which made our stay enjoyable.

The room had a decent size, providing enough space for a short stay, though opening the suitcase was a bit challenging due to limited area. There was a consistent bad odor that lingered despite attempts to air out the room, and the hot water took an unreasonably long time to warm up, making morning routines tedious. The hosts were friendly, and I appreciated the availability of cream cakes during snack time, which added a nice touch to the overall experience.
