Budget hotel with plentiful breakfast
Pros:

Our room was a good size, with an enormous bathroom, hot shower and comfortable bed. The owners helped us organise a motorbike and were always friendly. Breakfast was delicious and fresh every morning (hoppas, omelette, fruit, Dahl etc). Water provided daily. It's in walking distance to temples and mart/juice bar.
For a budget, no frills hotel, it was more than adequate.

Good
Pros:

Very friendly staff. It's actually a home stay. I think the owner's family lives on the ground floor. But rooms are up to standards. Good A/c. The toilet is alright. But i had a issue with water stream.
