This hotel sits in a little alley in the nightlife and backpackers area, the big attraction for us was it's restful breakfast around a swimming pool and it's quiet comfortable rooms within steps of the action. BUT all this has changed and we would definitely not stay here again, they now sell the breakfast to tour groups and their sister hotels, so the breakfast area is crowded and not very well kept, BUT our biggest upset was the nighlife area has expanded and no there is a nightclub banging away extremely loud music till 3am directly at the back of this hotel, we had no sleep for the 5 nights we were there, we could not get to sleep before 3 am every night and were exhausted when we left, the hotel isn't particularly cheap, there are far better places for less money. By the way we have stayed at this hotel 3 times before, but never again, goes to show how things dramatically change.
