"This was a fantastic hotel, I found it by accident but it was brilliant. Very modern, clean, complimentary breakfast which was western style with eggs, fruit, cereal, bread, croissants, donuts, hash browns and spreads such as peanut butter and Nutella. The rooms were very modern and spacious, we had 2 x superking size beds, the TV had all the streaming services and the hair dryer was a Dyson dupe. There was also a Samsung clothes styler so you could steam your clothes which worked far better than an iron, it also freshens and kills bacteria."

The other sites including the Buddhist temple was a simple bus ride away! We were able to do laundry there, which was a plus! The staff were very helpful.
