Our room was one of the nicer ones and had a great view. The bed was comfy and there were a selection of pillows. It was on the 4th floor however and no elevator, so be prepared for that

The bed was comfy and clean, but the bathrooms supporting the dorms could use more cleaning. The pool area was good to chill around and lots of restaurants and shops within a short walk.

A good looking hotel, bad light and soundproofing
The room we had was nice and as shown on the pictures. The view from the room was great and we saw the balloons and paragliders with a wonderful sunset. The hotel itself seems pretty well furnished but we did not use anything else outside the room.
Our bedroom had 2 majors problems : terrible soundproofing and weird window like openings near the bed. The bad soundproofing made us eat the super loud club that kept on blasting music and the weird windows make it difficult to sleep after 6:00.
For the hotel staff : Light is an easy fix, just put some curtains in front of the window so we at least get to choose.
Soundproofing is a different story.
If you sleep like a log and light doesn’t bother you, then you have a blast.

View from the ensuite double room was great. Good location, 10min walk to most restaurants and travel agencies.
They are expanding for a pool and extra rooms. Don’t worry about missing your alarm as the construction workers are very hard working, starting at 6am! If we didn’t take a tuktuk to the hotel, we probably would miss out the entrance as the reception looked like a construction site...
Some hiccups on our 1st day… First, our booking was made via Hotels.com and it was fully paid before we arrived. The owner claimed that was only the commission and asked us to pay for the rooms… We insisted our room was fully paid so the owner asked us to check with Hotels.com ourselves… After all the hassel, hotels.com confirmed the owner we had already paid for everything. The onwer apologized for the confusion. Secondly, it was raining on the 1st night and we found our room was flooding... The windows were poorly installed with big gaps in between, lots of water got into our room and had to use 2 big towels to clean up ourselves…
Better if they could provide basic amenities in the bathroom and maybe a small rack in the shower.
We stayed there for 3 nights, and the owner only cleaned up the room on the 2nd day after we complained about the flood. They didnt make our room or empty the bin during our entire stay… They didnt even refill the empty glass water bottle in the room... I thought it is essential to clean up and refill amentilies everyday...
