We really enjoyed our stay, the staff were so good and helped us arrange day trips. Great location, room was comfortable nothing too fancy but well kept. We had just picked somewhere from the guidebook but were really happy with our choice when we arrived.

We opted for room without aircon to keep cost low and fan was more than enough to keep cool. Good location for bus station where you can catch regular aircon busses direct... More

We booked double room before three months till arrival. Upon arrival hotel's owner asked to pay more, because they have only triple rooms. We refused to pay extra amount, so we was roughly scolded. After an unpleasant talk Double room "miraculously" appeared. I recommend you do not choose this hotel!
