This is a wonderful place. We spent a week and wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were gracious, professional and charming. Yes the location is a 20 minute walk from town. You'll need the exercise after the terrific food. Or take the tuk tuk, which the front desk will happily summon. Our spotlessly clean and well maintained riverside... More

Admittedly, yes, I was told to catch a tuk tuk for my airport pick-up, but that wasn't a killer. I had a superior room, booked via Lonely Planet, and for $18... More

There were so many red flags about this place, that we should never have stayed here. I booked a superior room for my boyfriend and I for $16, so a mid-range room, via email, which took some time since they don't answer email quickly. I asked for an airport pickup and never heard back from them. When we got to... More
