Great value for money

We’ve stayed at this hotel about two years ago then we stayed in one of the roof top airstreamers this time we booked a larger room with king size bed. The room was smaller than advertised with a cramped bathroom. This said this is a great location near bokap and waterfront at a great price.

Restful stay!

Excellent stay! We initially booked an airstream, which turned out to be quite cramped and the hot water didn’t work. There was also a rooftop party going on, so we called and requested to move to a proper room. The front desk staff accommodated us immediately, which was wonderful. The room was beautiful and quiet, and we got an amazing night’s sleep. Great service!
