The bed was comfy and clean, but the bathrooms supporting the dorms could use more cleaning. The pool area was good to chill around and lots of restaurants and shops within a short walk.

Disliked: Staff & service
View from the ensuite double room was great. Good location, 10min walk to most restaurants and travel agencies. They are expanding for a pool and extra rooms. Don’t worry about missing your alarm as the construction workers are very hard working, starting at 6am! If we didn’t take a tuktuk to the hotel, we probably would miss out the entrance as the reception looked like a construction site... Some hiccups on our 1st day… First, our booking was made via Hotels.com and it was fully paid before we arrived. The owner claimed that was only the commission and asked us to pay for the rooms… We insisted our room was fully paid so the owner asked us to check with Hotels.com ourselves… After all the hassel, hotels.com confirmed the owner we had already paid for everything. The onwer apologized for the confusion. Secondly, it was raining on the 1st night and we found our room was flooding... The windows were poorly installed with big gaps in between, lots of water got into our room and had to use 2 big towels to clean up ourselves… Better if they could provide basic amenities in the bathroom and maybe a small rack in the shower. We stayed there for 3 nights, and the owner only cleaned up the room on the 2nd day after we complained about the flood. They didnt make our room or empty the bin during our entire stay… They didnt even refill the empty glass water bottle in the room... I thought it is essential to clean up and refill amentilies everyday...
