“Lisokhanya Guesthouse presents a mixed bag, though its quiet setting near shops and transport is a definite advantage. While some rooms are located a short distance away from the main building, past guests appreciated the friendly staff and reliably hot water-a welcome comfort. For budget-conscious travelers prioritizing accessibility, it could be a reasonable choice.”
