My stay at Hans House had its ups and downs. On one hand, the hospitality from Hans was really good, and the location was superb, just a short walk from great food and popular attractions. On the downside, sleeping conditions weren't ideal. the room got sweltering at night, and we battled a relentless swarm of mosquitoes.
