“Nice place if you don't mind the location”
+Big room, nice terrace, nice view, the person who tales care of the place is a good person, all in all, a great place of you don't mind the location.
−The problem is the location. It's very hard to reach it. The tuktuk taxis didn't want to take us there for any price. The road is steep and hard to drive on it. And it's far from the city, you cannot walk to there.

“Don't go there.”
+Nothing
−Don’t go there. First of all, the room smelled horrible, as if it hadn’t been opened in a very long time. When I opened the minibar fridge, which was turned off but closed, I found dirt, mold, and bugs. The bedsheets smelled so bad that I had to buy refresher spray. They don’t clean the blankets; they just put them outside. My room was full of ants. Mornings and nights are quite cold, and so is the shower. On the third night, I could hear bats between the ceiling and the roof, along with animals scratching. When I went to find the staff member (who doesn’t speak English), he wasn’t at the hotel. Nobody was there! When he finally showed up at 9:30 pm, I asked if animals could get into the room, and he said yes. Obviously, I didn’t sleep that night. On top of all this, the hotel is located up a mountain with bad roads, so once you’re up there after a day out, it’s very hard to go back to the center for dinner.

“Breakfast was really good, very very friendly staff!”
+The best thing about this place is Praveen who has been absolutely kind, friendly, and helpful to us. We spent sometime talking and he is an amazing young man who will do everything to make sure you are comfortable and accommodated.
−The location is a bit far from the city center (on the mountain) and half of the tuktuks will drop you half way because they dont want to go all the way up.
