    I stayed there twice. And I'll be back! I saw the crocodile in the river! Very clean and cozy place. Located in the old fort. Close to the bus station and to the beach

    Nice river view. They said that there's a crocodile in it. King coco palm on the river bank. Good clean room and bathroom. Pretty cheerful host and staff.

    Very chill place. I annoyingly lost my phone and the owners were extremely helpful in helping me to sort out a new phone and sim card. I really appreciated it!
