What a wonderful guest house. Our beautiful room overlooked the city walls and gate. We had great beds and were within a short walk to the city center. Durga, the owner, ensured we had all that we needed, including a place to park. We would happily stay here again.

A real Gem
We booked the Barbican House as we had tickets to see Paul Weller at the Barbican. From the minute we arrived they were so helpful. The room itself was spotlessly clean with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. We hadn't booked breakfast but decided to order as we arrived, the cost was £15 each per night, it was delicious with fresh fruit and cereal to start and then a full English with gorgeous bacon and sausages. Nothing was too much trouble for the host, he was so lovely. We had such a wonderful stay we didn't want to go home. Would definitely stay here again it's a gem of a place. Thank you again for your hospitality.

The hosts are super-friendly and attentive to all guests. My experience was excellent. The location is at a busy crossroads so there can be noise from traffic in the early hours. Fortunately the owners installed some fans which help distribute cooler air round the premises.
