The staff at Lucky Bean Guesthouse were incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, Dudu gave us a warm welcome and throughout our stay, everyone went out of their way to ensure we were well taken care of. Conway was always available during breakfast to answer any questions we had about the local area. The beautiful gardens provided a soothing atmosphere to relax in, and there was plenty of information and books available for us to peruse.

We felt happy with our stay and had no reason to complain.

United Kingdom, May 2023

The rooms are very spacious, clean and comfortable and the staff is friendly and helpful. The location is great as there are some good restaurants within a 10-minute walk. I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast provided.

There were some issues with the room restrictions and cleanliness. Some guests have been chastised for stains caused by their toddlers and there was no prior notice of restrictions.

United Kingdom, March 2023

The hotel is located in a pleasant residential suburb, close to a lively street with plenty of nice restaurants on 7th Avenue. The staff is attentive and the basic amenities are provided, including rooms with a comfortable bed and lovely breakfast every morning. The attention to detail is evident in the beautiful decor and mismatched aging furniture, adding to the charm of the place. The breakfast, with its wonderful yogurt, is a delightful way to start the day.

All was absolutely fine.
