4/10 Fair

Room had many large bugs and geckos, including the biggest cockroach! When we told the staff, they just offered to kill the insects, and didn’t offer for us to switch rooms or any other services. The place feels run down. The shower is in the same area as the toilet with nothing separating them, so the toilet gets wet when you shower. One big perk is free drinking water.

Room was extremely small and bathroom was terrible. After first night we requested a different room. Staff was very accommodating and we gladly paid for the upgrade to a little larger room with a decent bathroom and better WI-FI signal. The beds are very firm

Quaint, Good Breakfast

Staff were helpful, owners served breakfast each morning, which was AMAZING! I stayed on the second floor, room #5. Hotel was quiet because all the guests (except 1) made an effort to be quiet and respectful (walls are thin). It was a basic hotel, cute balconies, bathroom light didn’t always work and the bed was hard as a rock but otherwise I liked the place and would recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

친구와 함께 2(3)박

메인 도로에서 도보로 12분 떨어져 있어 편리한 공간이며, 상대적으로 편안히 쉴 수 있는 공간입니다. 숙소에서 가까운 거리에 향수를 느낄 수 있는 한국식당(김삿갓)이 있어 이게 더 좋았습니다. 숙소는 전반적으로 깨끗하고 더운 물이 나와서 좋았습니다. 주 도로에서 골목으로 약 30m지점에 위치합니다. 바로 옆집에서 모터를 빌리면 7만낍이나 도로변에 나가서 빌리면 8~10만낍이니, 이것도 참조하세요~^^ 2(3)박이라함은, 호텔스닷컴을 통하여 2박했고 호텔에서 1night 를 더 요청해서입니다. 다음 기회에도 이 호텔을 이용할 예정입니다.

ナムカン川沿いの路地にあり、半島部分まで徒歩10分の静かなゲストハウス

1階のダブルルームに2泊しました。部屋は写真で見るより狭かったですが、荷物が置ける棚やカウンターがあって機能的でした。また、仏領時代の鉄橋が見えるパティオが部屋の前にあったので、そちらに座ることも多かったです。バスルームではシャワーブースが仕切られておらず、シャワーを浴びるとトイレのシートまで濡れてしまうのと、窓がなくて十分換気できないのが気になりました。冷蔵庫の中など、掃除が行き届いていない箇所があったのは残念でした。
