Great place to stay: location close to Pub Street (less than 10 mins walk), Tuk-tuks available right outside the hotel for a dollar to pub street, cabs easily available outside to airport & day trips, few restaurants nearby but max choice in & around Pub Street.
Extremely reasonably priced: we 4 friends stayed in 4 separate rooms since it was so affordable (less than USD20 a night).
Rooms were smallish compared to star hotels but more than sufficient for a person. Room quality, bed, linen, toilet, towels, cleanliness, AC all good. Toilets had body soap & shampoo.
The pool seemed good but we didn't have sufficient time to try it out.
A small cafe/restaurant next to the pool in the Ground floor was serving food all day. We had only breakfast there and loved it. Prices were very reasonable.
The reception staff were very friendly, helpful & supportive.
Cafe staff were fine and could probably try to match their reception counterparts.
We got a cab (minivan) from the airport for USD15 for 1-way, and back.
The place has mostly youngsters and solo travellers and has a nice vibe all around. Would not recommend for families with kids though there would be nothing against their stay.
Lot of tour options provided at the hotel but we planned ourselves through a local cab driver since he was very flexible and more reasonably priced than the hotel.
Stay feels close to a 3* facility at a price for 1*.
Would definitely recommend and will come back again when we visit SR
