Antelope Guesthouse

Antelope Guesthouse

8/10 Good
"The restroom needs to be renovated. I feel like after a long day, a nice shower that feels clean is needed. I am lucky to have brought shower slippers because I would feel uncomfortable to shower if I didn’t. The room was small but for the price of stay was fair. I would spend more for another place, but I was on budget. The common area was beautiful and very scenic."

"Extremely accommodating staff....spotless hotel. No real amenities. Next door to a restaurant with full menu and very pleasant staff. Not "right downtown" but minutes away but vehicle, about 15 minutes walk. Minutes walking away from Sam's Dive Shop and other facilities in the area. Have been to WP Malakal a few times in the past, and will continue when I visit Palau for my dive trips."
