    The place had a fine garden and a spacious ballroom perfect for events. The chef's dishes were a real highlight! Our triple room was clean and comfy.

    Located in a peaceful area, away from the busy street, making it a great place for relaxation. the rooms are clean and comfortable. the staff is very friendly and helpful, and are always available to assist with any issues. the hotel is close to town which is very convenient.

    The breakfast menu could do with more variety. bugs were seen around the dining area which was quite unhygienic.

    I had a really good stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and had a great bathroom. It reminded me of staying in a high-level hotel in the West. The staff were kind and helpful, and the food in the restaurant was delicious. The hotel is located around 1 km away from the main road of the city center, it was nice and quiet. It was a pleasant 10-minute walk or a quick and affordable tuk-tuk ride to get there. The pool was always clean and refreshing to cool off in at the end of the day. Plus, the sunrise I saw from here was the most amazing I've ever seen. a 9/10 experience.

    Nothing not too like.

    We had a pleasant stay at this luxurious hotel. The location was perfect, with a temporary restaurant offering delicious meals. The room service was prompt and the housekeeping staff ensured that our room was clean and tidy. We also appreciated the tours and ticket assistance provided by the friendly and professional staff. The amenities in the room, such as air conditioning and tea and coffee facilities, added to our comfort. The soundproofed rooms allowed for a peaceful night's sleep, and the free toiletries provided a touch of luxury.

    We recommend this hotel to everyone.

    The hotel's location was great, away from the main road and free from noise. It was just a short walk or a quick tuk-tuk ride to the city center. The staff were wonderful, providing attentive service throughout my stay. The pool was always clean and refreshing, perfect for a dip after a long day. the sunrise views from the hotel were absolutely breathtaking.

    The cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. The bedding was stained and there were cobwebs on the walls.
