    The staff were friendly and accommodating, always willing to help with any requests we had. the location was convenient, with a beautiful beach and a shopping center within walking distance. - the pool and common area in the garden were spacious and well-maintained, providing a relaxing atmosphere.

    The restaurant had limited drink options, and the breakfast was a bit overpriced for the quality of food served. There were some issues with the fans and plugs in the common area, and the cleaning service could have been more thorough.

    As a backpacker, Tulia House was the perfect place for me to stay. It had everything I needed within its walls, including a shower, laundry facilities, a restaurant, and even a pool in the garden. I loved the friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to meet and interact with people from all over the world. Plus, the nearby shopping mall was an added convenience.

The staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent advice on transportation options, thanks to Rose. The location was convenient, with a beautiful beach and a shopping center nearby.

    Breakfast delights - The breakfast options could be improved.

    During my recent stay at Tulia House, I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and unique accommodation. I booked the Caribbean Room and it turned out to be a cool bungalow on the rooftop with large windows for a refreshing breeze. It even had a covered patio area with a small table and mattress, providing a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. The room had a lockable door and a front door to the patio, ensuring my safety and privacy. Additionally, the staff at Tulia House were extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. The prices at the bar were cheap and the food was delicious, attracting both locals and travelers. The convenience of having WiFi available in the bar area was a bonus. I had a great experience at Tulia House and would definitely stay here again in the future.

    This budget hotel is conveniently located near shopping centers and a tuk, tuk station. Wi, fi connection is excellent, and the breakfast is good. There is a small swimming pool and affordable food options available, including delicious pizza. the staff can provide information on activities and sites to visit.

    The staff at the hotel seem disorganized and unresponsive, resulting in delayed check, in and lack of communication about room readiness.
