Staff, location and breakfast were excellent. The rooftop bar and pool is a great spot to have a drink as the sun goes down. We did have an issue with a moldy shower head which the staff replaced straight away, otherwise a perfect stay.

Perfectly situated, you can walk to so many places including the night food market without the noise of the main road. The rooms was clean and with all that's needed. The staff was really helpful and professional. The swimming pool was definitely a nice ad-on considering the weather.
