Worth staying in Mirage hotel
Pros:

Comfortable bed & friendly staff at the reception & house keeping. Towels need to be newer ones as provided ones are old, too many cushions which could have stored in the cupboard.

Cons:

Didn't realise that booking direct with the hotel would have been cheaper than with booking.com

Location is not that convenient for us as we didn't have the car. Tuk tuk drivers who stay in front of the hotel were harassing the visitors of the hotel. Had unpleasant experience with one of them. I realise that it has nothing to do with the hotel but visitors should be warned.
