He didn’t try to sell any additional services or tours etc. but was available anytime we needed assistance - even arranging Tuk Tuk journeys when we were elsewhere to come and pick us up and not be scammed by some others that were waiting to take advantage. Value: 5/5 - Excellent value for money. The hotel is small and has great modern decor. Breakfast which is served...
