"Room was clean, showers were great, staff friendly, the sauna was very good and the European breakfast was tasty — great value for money near the border. Will definitely return."

To be honest — the location is fairly quiet and a way from restaurants outside the hotel · Some reviews say you may need to walk around 15 minutes to find a place to eat, so without a car it's worth asking the front desk to call a tuk-tuk · Breakfast opinions are mixed: some love it, while others say the choices are limited and inconsistent · A few rooms have also drawn the odd review about mosquitoes or firm beds, so ask to see the room first if you can, or let the front desk know if something isn't right.
