ADVICE: DOUBLE CHECK YOUR BOOKING WITH THE HOST
Unfortunately when we arrived at Central Guesthouse there was no room available for our party. An error with Expedias booking system meant our booking had not been received on the hosts end - even though we had confirmation - and we were left without a room (this also happened to another couple who arrived at the same time we did).
Although not the Hosts fault entirely, it was impossible to contact them when we arrived (15 Calls and messages) and he was very unhelpful when we did eventually get in touch stating there was nothing he could do and hanging up.
We ended up having to fork out for new hotels for our 3 night trip at quite an expense on New Year’s Eve.
Can't beat the location. Bus stop 2 is right out front. Comfortable, very clean rooms. Great full kitchen downstairs with many tables and chairs. Fun talking to other travelers while in this common area. Shared bathrooms were always available, never had to wait to use one and always kept clean.
Central Guesthouse is just around the block from the bus, making it very easy to get around downtown and to excursion (and airporr) connections.
We were a bit apprehensive about the shared bathrooms but this was not a problem at all. Our room was comfortable and we had a nice view of the park and pond.

Bathroom needs work
Our stay was one night. Beds were comfortable and room was clean. The upstairs bathroom needed work. The toilet did not flush properly. The tile on the floor was cracked and the shower needed serious attention.
