IMPORTANT
From January 2024, there will be construction works going on in our building, because we are getting a new rooftop, a new facade and a lift. So, there won't be much sunlight coming in from the windows because of the scaffolding and there can be dust and noise in the building. We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope it will be done soon.

The kitchen is the heart of the Strange Uncle. Here, our guests can meet other travelers, cook and enjoy a glass of wine.
