This hotel is in a fantastic location. It's tucked away on a small, interesting alley lined with hotels, shops and small restaurants, much more "Asian" than the main street. Yet at the same time, it is only a few steps from the beach. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean, on the 8th floor - fabulous! Staff were friendly and helpful. There's a tiny but refreshing pool on the top floor that I enjoyed. Most important negative was the breakfast, which was underwhelming. Overall, a great stay.
