I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with clean, spacious rooms and a friendly staff that really made the experience enjoyable. The location is perfect, just steps away from the night market, but it can get a bit noisy at times. Although the service was exceptional, I found the dining options to be somewhat lacking. Overall, it offers great value for money, but there's room for improvement in the breakfast offerings.

The hotel is situated in a bustling area with a lovely rooftop bar that offers a great view of the street activities. While the room was clean, it felt a bit basic and there were maintenance issues, such as a broken sink tap. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which was definitely a plus. The location is fairly convenient, though a bit of a walk to the main night market.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful in arranging trips, but the noise from the rooftop bar and café below was a bit distracting.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which offered a stunning view of the monks at morning. The rooms were spacious, but I found them a bit under-maintained and not very cozy for relaxation. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who went above and beyond to help. The location was fantastic, quiet yet close enough to main attractions. However, noise from the staircase and the café below can be a bit disruptive, and some amenities need attention.
