Idyllischer Ort zum Wohlfühlen
Pros:

Das Hotel ist nicht weit von der Tempelsnlage entfernt, etwas außerhalb der Stadt. Es liegt direkt an einem Reisfeld und man hört nur die Natur. Ein toller Ort um nach vielen neuen Eindrücken zu relaxen. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sowohl das Frühstück, als auch das Dinner waren ausgesprochen schmackhaft. Lokale Küche.

Lovely oasis base for sightseeing
Pros:

Great staff, warm welcome. Lovely room, roof terrace for both sunrise & sunset. Refreshing pool overlooking paddy fields, hotel surrounded by trees & gardens
Chef very kind, made egg hoppers as we’d not yet had them. Breakfast & dinner very good, buffet style but fresh & authentic
Quiet location, walked to royal gardens & nearest stupa. Hotel arranged local tuktuk driver for a great ancient city tour

Cons:

Nothing

Resort feeling, welcoming and relaxing
Pros:

Resort feeling, great pool, excellent food, clean and comfortable rooms, air conditioning works really well. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Our TV didn’t work (they were really apologetic and tried to fix it) and the bathroom setup was really weird but not a reason to not stay here.

Not pleasant. Scary.
Pros:

The breakfast was okay.

Cons:

There was no hot water. The owner didn't bother to fix it after we brought it to his attention. The room doors are ancient, heavy and horrible. The place is unsafe. Snakes could easily get in. We were told that they found two venomous snakes in the breakfast area the previous day. The place needs upgrades.
