Shantihome Reviews

We had booked for two nights based on the good reviews, but left early after one night. Why? We didn't feel comfortable at all. For example, we were asked to take off our shoes and then walk barefoot on dingy carpet tiles. The towels we got were probably white at one time, but now they're more yellowish-grey. The whole house smelled musty. Our "Deluxe" room had a double bed that was only accessible from one side, and the slatted frame kept falling down and the mattress was worn through. In addition, there was a small table, a chair and a small bedside table. We suspect that the mini-balcony is what defines the "deluxe," but we're not sure. The decor is very unloving and the furniture "ripped off". At night it was unbearably hot in the room, whereupon we opened the balcony door, which especially invited the mosquitoes to pounce on us. The street was insanely noisy (party chants, drunk people and roaring engines) and from our observations the horizontal trade is thriving there. When the ladies slowly finished work, the surrounding businesses (bakery, car care, etc.) started their preparations shortly afterwards. We did not take the opportunity to make a donation at breakfast in the house and cannot rate this. When we checked out, no one asked why we were leaving early. And of course we also paid full price for both nights. Common rooms ok, central location. We would not book here again.
