Great value stay!
Pros:

We stayed at Dreamtel three times over a two week period and we were very pleased with every stay.
The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was clean.
The breakfast was very tasty and nutritious.
The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, and the location was great, just next to the night market street, good restaurants and cafes.

Cons:

We got used to it, but the noise coming from the main street was unpleasant.
