Old charms
Pros:

What I liked most about this hotel is its sense of old-world charm. It carries the atmosphere of more glorious times, with a strong emphasis on natural materials and visible craftsmanship—something I always appreciate. The character and authenticity set it apart from more generic, modern hotels.

Cons:

I expected the balcony to be cleaner. I specifically booked a room with a balcony to enjoy some tea in the fresh air, but that wasn’t really possible. The space lacked privacy and was not properly cleaned—there was bird droppings and dust, which made it unpleasant to use.

super carino, comodo, silenzioso a due passi dal centro
Pros:

beh, perfetto. posizione sulla strada (ma la camera era dalla parte opposta, quindi 0 rumori), vicino alle principali attrazioni (10/15 minuti a piedi, altrimenti tuktuk), personale cordiale e gentile, camera davvero grande con bottigliette d'acqua tutti i giorni, bagno grande. colazione a buffet super, i donut al cioccolato erano d'autore. consiglio 100% anche per cena, che costa anche meno rispetto a certi locali al di fuori.

Great value stay for those looking for a simple room.
Pros:

Simple room . Needed a place to stay once I landed from the airport. Headed south the next morning.
