Very quite place - there were no other quests - too quite. But the advantage is that it is very close to Golden Horse Casino. When we reached the Guest House we hooted because we didn't know that there was an intercom. There was a man outside who was very rude to us because we hooted. When we finally got in the reception we received was very dull. A brighter reception area with a bubblier receptionist will be good. Breakfast - could be better. On the whole, our one night stay was okay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay 9 Jun 2025 ##### Jay Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nkosiyapha 3 Aug 2023 ##### Nkosiyapha Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sibusiso and Irene 26 Sept 2022 ##### Sibusiso and Irene Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Odwa 6 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Odwa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 24 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Spires Serviced Apartments Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-The-Spires-Serviced-Apartments-Aberdeen.h904485.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in County Clare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-County-Clare.d601682.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Catalonia Del Mar - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Son-Servera-Hotels-Catalonia-Del-Mar-Adults-Only.h1001462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Riyadh Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riyadh-Hotels-Hilton-Riyadh-Hotel-Residences.h19423594.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes Orlando](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Mystic-Dunes-Resort-Golf-Club-By-Diamond-Resorts.h890951.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwentwater Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Derwentwater-Hotel.h57788444.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury 6 Bed Villa With Pool, Mullins Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullins-Hotels-Luxury-6-Bed-Villa-With-Pool.h29492102.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu London Portman Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Nobu-London-Portman-Square.h19959.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Farne Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Farne-Islands-Hotels.0-l6092659-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Avani Palazzo Moscova Milan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels-Avani-Palazzo-Moscova-Milan-Hotel.h3421152.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Breakfast in City Centre Dublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/City-Centre-Dublin-Dublin-Hotels-Hotel-With-Breakfast.0-n6176614-0-thotelwithbreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [ibis Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grandate-Hotels-Ibis-Como.h1685590.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Pooley Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pooley-Bridge-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d182612-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [4 Star Hotels in Maida Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Maida-Vale-London-Hotels.s40-n6047477-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Walt Disney World® Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Walt-Disney-World-Resort-Hotels.0-l6034120-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shiba Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Shiba-Park-Hotel.h21359.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn New York/Midtown Park Ave](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-New-YorkMidtown-Park-Ave.h7946632.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/iom/aberdeen-to-isle-of-man) > > [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Milas (BJV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/bjv/dublin-to-bodrum) > > [Flights from Christchurch (BOH) to Jamaica (JFK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/jfk/bournemouth-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Liverpool (LPL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/lpl/london-to-liverpool) ### Cars > [Car hire in Cape Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cape-Verde.d32.Car-Hire-Destinations) ### Packages > [Ahmedabad Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahmedabad.d372.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [South Coast Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Coast.d6046244.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Mahé Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahe-Island.d3127.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General ---
