"I stayed at the hotel with 6 other family members and we all enjoyed our time spent there together. Our rooms were clean well maintained, staff were friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was central and we were able to walk to lots of food outlets and close to the water front also. We enjoyed our breakfast and some food and drinks here also."

"Fantastic location. Right next to night markets. In center of everything. The staff was excellent. Everyone of them over 5 day period I came into contact with. The apartment I was in - scratchy stiff sheets, the bathroom dad broken tiles in it, the a/c was full of mold and not working (which was ok considering time of year -spring) and they had someone come clean it while I was there. The owner should be doing regular maintenance and that was not done. The kitchen was well equipped overall except for measuring cups. I cooked quite a bit over 5 days and that was my only frustration in kitchen. Overall the location and staff saved the rating on this place to be Good."
