Good location, comfortable beds and good food.
Pros:

Located in a good location not far from Yala national park, and walking distance to small shops and restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the view was nice over the lake. The food was good and reasonably priced. Breakfast has a wide range of options. Staff are friendly.
Overall a pleasant stay.

Cons:

Not a problem - We had a problem with our a/c one night and they changed (and updated) both our rooms.

Nice location with friendly staff
Pros:

The staff were friendly, nice welcome drink and cool towel on arrival, nice pool and lakeside view

Cons:

The rooms are a bit dated and bathroom needs redoing with mould appearing on the ceiling. There’s a raised lip going into the bathroom which is unsafe as I kept tripping on it.

Skuffende oplevelse og dårlig service
Pros:

Fin beliggenhed
God udsigt fra værelset

Cons:

Uopmærksomt personale, strømmen gik mange gange og ingen hjælp.
Mad i buffeten var kedelig og ikke spændende.
Hotellet slidt og ikke pengene værd
