After 4 weeks through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia then Thailand we booked all our hotels from reviews on tripadvisor, we didn't expect much from this hotel going by previous reviews, just average with a nice pool and good location, but didn't even get that.
I have to honestly say this hotel was more like a hostel and was just pathetic. No power and no water for the first half day when we arrived, air conditioner didn't work, rooms smelt heavily of damp, useless and rude staff and way, way too expensive.
The pool tiles are all black and green coloured as they haven't been cleaned so the water looks black, the location isn't the best all you hear is the bass from the music the bars pump out until 2am and heaps of drunk back packers try and sneak into the pool all day and night.
The hotel is old and needs renovating and the staff are rude and come over as though they just don't care, I asked a staff member if the hotel had Internet and he rudely answered WHAT and blew cigarette smoke out abruptly and walked away and one of his colleagues then kindly answered instead. This hotel has everything going for it if they got their act together but it was the 2nd most expensive hotel out of the 5 we stayed at while on our trip and I'd rather pitch a tent than stay there again.
