Room was clean. Hotel is near everything from night market to convenient store to restaurant. Breakfast in the morning is always fresh and lobby area to eat is maintain. Staff are very helpful even though they speak very little English but try there best to accommodate what ever you need. Will be booking again in December when I come back.

Awesome location. Close to many food options from restaurants, street food, bars, and Starbucks. All in walking distance no more than 10 minutes and close to the bank to exchange money. We would definitely stay here again and the staff were very accommodating and polite.

Great location: across the road from the night market, night food market, and Mekong River. Walking distance to other facilities eg bank/currency exchange, restaurants/cafes. Room very spacious but felt that it could have been used for a larger wardrobe or shelves. Bathroom layout was poor; shower didn’t have a proper screen so the water went onto the bathroom floor. Not good for those wanting an early sleep as there is booming music playing from the night markets.
