Many reviews praise the breakfast as generous and plentiful, with fresh ingredients such as milk and bread complementing the main dishes. The hearty breakfasts with abundant portions often exceed expectations, adding value to the stay despite some suggesting the price is slightly high given the overall quality. Additionally, the atmosphere of breakfast is enhanced by the beautiful setting of the guesthouse's garden. While the breakfast selection leans towards Western tastes, guests appreciate the substantial start to their day that the meal provides. Although a few reviewers felt the experience could be improved, the overall sentiment is that the breakfast option at Garden Guesthouse is a satisfying and enjoyable part of their stay.

Dinner
Nestled in a tranquil setting with a picturesque garden, Garden Guesthouse features a dining experience that has garnered praise for its exceptional value and quality. Guests frequently highlight the excellence of the hotel's restaurant, appreciating its skillfully prepared dishes offered at more than affordable prices. The kitchen service consistently impresses visitors with well-crafted menus that rival local dining options, making it a noteworthy destination for those seeking good meals at low prices.

While the restaurant's offerings have been praised, there are occasional mentions of closure or long waits, suggesting limited availability or service interruptions. Despite being described as mediocre at times, the convenient on-site dining is often preferred due to limited options in the surrounding area, where nearby restaurants are noted as average at best. For guests seeking alternatives, the modern restaurant 'Oyster' stands out, offering an economical dining experience with the novelty of barbecuing at the table.

The absence of late-night and on-site options can be a drawback, especially with the nearest eatery closing early in the evening. Consequently, the guesthouse is best enjoyed when the restaurant operates optimally, providing guests with the full experience of dining in this serene and idyllic environment.

Nestled in a lush garden setting, Garden Guesthouse offers a simple yet effective accommodation experience.

While the decor and furnishings are modest and could benefit from some updating, the attention to cleanliness is consistent, and guests appreciate the value for money. Bedding is generally comfortable, and the accommodations are well-maintained. The unique garden setting contributes to a serene ambiance, with fragrant plants and a peaceful courtyard that invite relaxation.

For travelers looking to explore beyond the typical path, staff like Channy offer excellent local guidance, enriching the guest experience. Though some accommodations may feel dark or lack ventilation, the overall positive atmosphere, attentive service, and pleasant surroundings make Garden Guesthouse a compelling choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a retreat surrounded by nature.

Beds
The beds at Garden Guesthouse receive mixed feedback from guests, with opinions veering towards the less favorable side. While some guests find the beds cozy, comfortable, and good enough for a short stay, many express concerns about the overall quality of the mattresses and bedding. The predominant issue reported is the softness of the mattresses, which often results in significant sagging or dips in various areas, creating a sensation akin to sleeping in a hole. Some mattresses appear worn-out, old, or damaged, suggesting an immediate need for replacement. Despite a few positive mentions of comfort, the bedding largely leaves room for improvement, with guests noting issues such as unpleasant smells or inadequate thickness, and hard pillows further detract from the sleeping experience. Nonetheless, the rooms themselves are praised for being clean, simply furnished, and nicely decorated, which might provide some respite to the bed-related drawbacks.

The beautifully designed facility, nestled in a lush garden setting, adds to the overall charm and tranquility of the location. With attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere, the Garden Guesthouse provides a refreshing and enjoyable stay. While there are a few mentions of specific elements needing improvement, such as bedding and mattresses, the overall cleanliness and care make it a commendable choice for travelers.

Moreover, the on-site restaurant and pleasant garden add to the overall satisfaction, creating a serene and inviting retreat.

Wi-Fi
Garden Guesthouse offers a mixed experience when it comes to Wi-Fi availability, with various reviews highlighting both strengths and limitations. On the positive side, many guests commend the guesthouse for its good or even excellent Wi-Fi connectivity, particularly in accessible areas such as common pavilions and certain parts of the garden. Some visitors found the Wi-Fi functional enough for their needs during most times of the day.

However, there are undeniable drawbacks that future guests should be aware of. Several reviews draw attention to unstable or unreliable Wi-Fi connections, with some travelers experiencing difficulty accessing the internet altogether. Additionally, certain areas, especially towards the back and bottom of the garden, might suffer from inconsistent connectivity, which can be a challenge for those who rely heavily on internet access. Moreover, some guests reported trouble with mobile reception, further complicating their connectivity needs.
