Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great accommodating staff. Everything is very close. It is always easy to get a taxi/grab/tuk tuk. There is a ton of food options. The Sunday night walking street market is right down the street. All of this with a safe comfortable environment. I highly recommend

Es excelente! Limpio y la mejor ubicación.

La amabilidad del personal, las instalaciones y su localización! Estaba todo muy limpio y era agradable estar allí por su buen ambiente. Además nos pusieron muchas facilidades cuando llegamos y nos dejaron ducharnos y guardaron nuestras maletas porque llegamos antes de tiempo.
