The location is super convenient! I could easily grab taxis and tuk-tuks right near the hotel. The room had amazing AC, and the shower had very nice pressure , exactly what I needed after a hot day exploring.

There was a slight unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drain , but it wasn't too strong.
