Perfect Stay!”

We had a fantastic stay at Kings Guesthouse. Ray was really accommodating even though we arrived later than normal due to a family emergency. The room was very clean and spacious with a King Size bed and the facilities were absolutely brilliant. Will be returning soon and we recommend other to really try out Kings Guesthouse, a hotel experience for sure.

The establishment did not make it clear that they charge per person. There was a problem when checking in due to this. Assistant from the establishment was non existent, eventually were moved to an Air B&B far better than Kings. The payment made to Kings included breakfast however when we moved to another establishment breakfast was not provided.
