Excellent Hotel Stay

smooth check-in friendly staff comfortable bed
The check-in process was smooth and the staff was friendly. They were helpful. The room had a comfortable king bed and was clean. I appreciated the balcony. It's a short walk across a bridge to get a river taxi for 20 TBH. I would stay here again. It was a good experience.
The hotel is a little bit away from bars and restaurants.

I was surprised that the hotel only had three cleaning staff (for this size of a place?). My room didn't get serviced until I asked about it at 10:30 PM. Someone from reception finally came to clean it.
