The best place to stay. Near to kk town.
17.07.2025
The room service great..reception staff very friendly
26.04.2025
Overall a decent staying experience, typical but not surprising, other hotels might offer more amenities
20.04.2025
服务:I would like to praise the front desk who was still on duty at 11:30 p.m. on April 20. His name is jouist (maybe it's spelled like this, I didn't hear it clearly). I lost something for my own reasons. He patiently helped me find it. Even if I found it elsewhere later, he was not impatient and still had a good attitude, which is very good.

设施:房屋设施比较偏古典类型,但是完全不会太老不好用,洗浴什么的也很方便,阳台打开非常漂亮!

卫生:从进大堂开始卫生就超级好,房间也会自动打扫,很干净

位置:靠近码头非常非常方便!!加耶街就在楼下,楼下的西餐厅也是当地网红店,物美价廉,旁边也有各种xhs推荐的美食,周五周六还会有夜市超级超级热闹!

The perfect hotel!
Some may not like it as it doesn't have the latest fancy TV sets and so on.. but full of charm, ideally located.
Very affordable and very good soundproof from the street!!
30.11.2024
Happy with the location but room a little bit old otherwise comfortable
17.11.2024
Ideal location, but not much facilities though. The hotel room is big with a fashionable western styled design.

I stayed over for one night, arrived at Saturday night and left for Sunday morning. The busy Gaya Street makes it fun at Saturday night but the Sunday market can be very noisy as the market starts very early in the morning.

All in all a pleasant stay!
