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.

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...

도미토리는 안써서 모르겠는데 2인방은 뷰가 지립니다 형님들 이틀 묵었는데 아침마다 진짜 힐링입니다. 뷰가 미쳤어요. 아 근데 냉장고 없고 물은 페트가아닌 물병에 담겨있어서 마시기 좀 그럽니다. 뷰때메 아깝지않을 가격입니다.
