Perfect Stay Near Gaya Street

good service nice view superb location
The staff showed attentiveness. The room provided a nice sea view. Its location is superb as it is just across the street from the night market. They are open on Friday and Saturday nights only.
The water pressure in the shower could have been better it was a slight inconvenience but didn't detract much from my stay.
