We stayed in the Navali river hotel few years in a row. The hotel is very close to Kaho San Roa, yet not in the middle of the chaos, which made it a very good place for us to stay.
The hotel did not manage to keep up with its standard as it was in past years.
1. There is a big noise coming from the bars in the streets. the further the rooms are from the river, the higher the noise it.
2. The aircondition engines are in the balcony of each room. the noise and viberations out of these enginees is such that even wtih earplugs we could not sleep
3. They used to have a deal wtih the massage SPA, so that hotel's visitors got a discount. This does not exist any more
4. When you want an ummberlla (due to the Monson rains) there is a procedure to sign in a notebook when you take the unbrella and then you need to sign again when you return it.
5. When you want to leave a bag for few days, you are charged per bag per day.
6. The hotel staff are not pleasant, their hospitality is not welcoming.
7. A bit earlier in August, friends of ours (a family wtih 2 kids) stayed their - following our recommendation - and they were disapointed from the bad servicem just like we felt two weeks afterwards.

all in all, in our view, Navalai River is not an hotel to return to. They lost thier charm and good service.More
