Guesthouses in Sunee Plaza

What is the appeal of guesthouses. Why do so many here seem to prefer them over a proper hotel?

Damn good question.

I prefer inexpensive 3-star or Thai-style hotels (not that I have a choice really!).

My guess is gay guesthouses are popular with the generation that felt the need to be segregated from straights, for safety, community or whatever reason. Some people just like that 'village' feeling where they can exchange hellos and gossip over breakfast among people of the same gen and orientation. My impression from reading these forums is that some people don't travel much at all other than for sex tourism and gay guesthouses, usually with a gay owner and gay staff, provide a 'guided' experience. And yet others might feel awkward about bringing their guests backs at "proper" hotels so gay guesthouses are a good overall choice.

Funny..I would pose the question the other way round. What is the appeal of a hotel? Why do so many people seem to prefer them over a nice proper guesthouse?

People are so strange..but to each their own?
I assume that is a general principle that should apply?

A guesthouse reminds me of family holidays in Eastbourne.

If you are staying for several weeks, or months, a guest house or condo would be a must in my book.
