    It’s in a great location in the downtown, right around the corner from the bus station and the night market. The owner was lovely and the spaces are nice and clean. The free tea/coffee/snack bar is such a lovely touch!

    The host, Apple, is simply the sweetest and she waa super helpful. The hotel is located right next to the bus terminal 1 and the night market but the street remains pretty calm. Everything was clean and cozy. And the dog Wesley is a highlight!!
