Gwuni Mopera

Leipzig


A tiny B&B hiding in the courtyard of a large Stalin-esque edifice on Rossplatz, Gwuni Mopera is a subtly atmospheric option with creaky wooden floors, retro-styled furniture and art on the walls. Bathrooms are shared, but guests are too few to fight over them. The African-sounding name is in fact an acronym that includes four nearby landmarks.
