Keep in mind this review reflects the fact that it's a modest 2-star place, so considering that, it's truly a fantastic value for what you pay. The pool is a nice touch, and having the red jazz bar on-site is definitely a perk. Located in the southeast corner of the old city, the location is quite good. The A/C works well, and everything else is functional; the rooms aren't huge, so there's not much space to unpack, but it's perfect for backpackers looking for a comfy bed, a hot shower, and a chance to unwind by the pool. I didn't try the breakfast, so I can't comment on that, but for a great breakfast option, check out the French bakery just around the corner. L'opera is run by a true magician! The croissants, bread, and pastries are absolutely to die for—it's hard to believe he can create such delights outside of his home country. If you're looking for an alternative to the typical Asian breakfast 🤮, this place is a solid 10/10.

Fantastic location, just a short stroll to the old town and conveniently close to markets and eateries. We had a wonderful time enjoying the pool, playing snooker, and soaking up the relaxing vibe in the communal areas. The woman at the tour desk was incredibly kind and helpful! We spent 6 nights here, and while there were some issues with the water (no hot water, and it had an unusual color and smell), they assured us it was being addressed. Although it was a bit concerning, we appreciated their efforts. The staff could have been a bit more welcoming, as we didn’t receive any guidance during check-in (like pool etiquette, towel usage, or that we could leave the large key at the front desk when we went out).
