4 Great location, comfy bed, clean, and helpful staff
walking distance to bus station, taxi stand, historical and interest site and market. Love the comfy bed, the street behind is quiet at night, so nice to sleep. Love the waterfront view and there are many choices of restaurants and cafes as well as KFC just below the backpacker. Reasonable price for laundry. Knowledgable and kind staff are within reach anytime!
