Not really worth it, to be honest.
The hotel didn't think I had a reservation when I got there, I had to have a tuk tuk driver help me explain my booking with a copy of my emailed receipt. I got put into a very basic room with only one blanket (the nights are chilly in the mountains!). They didn't sign me in or really acknowledge me at all. The view is beautiful, and they have a nice balcony for sunny days. Location to town is pretty good, about 10 minutes, except walking down alone in the dark is a bit scary. Wifi was good, and lots of outlets. Bathroom was clean, except when you turned the shower on and you could see the moldy walls from the steam. They did bring me coffee each morning, which was nice. But on the last morning I was woken up at 6am with very very very loud tv noise that persisted until 9am when I finally got dressed and went to ask for some coffee and for them to turn it down. Finally, they charged me their booking fees from the website on top of what I was expecting to pay.

Mixed feelings.
The gentleman who checked me in (the owner?) was very nice and helpful and accommodating. He suggested places to visit and was informative about how to get to places I was interested in. There is a balcony that has a very nice view. There was very hot water for the shower. Unfortunately, the room I was given was very humid, such that the cement floor was damp, the tiled bathroom floor would not dry, and the sheets felt wet. He explained that it had rained heavily in the days preceding, and gave me a heater, which did help, but it was not what I would call a pleasant room. The WiFi did not work in the room, but was fine in the common area. I did not get to try the breakfast because, though I was told breakfast started at 7:00, it was not offered until 7:20, which was when I needed to leave to catch my train (but I was given a pot of tea later when I returned from my day trip). So, I have mixed feelings: I think the place has potential for being a decent deal, just don’t take room #3 if it has been raining.

A éviter
L’Hôtel ne correspond pas du tout à la description. L’hôtel est vétuste, sans confort , et sous équipé. La chambre était sal. Les draps et les serviettes d’une propreté douteuse. Le petit déjeuner était froid car non cuisiné sur place idem pour le dîner. Le personnel était de bonne volonté mais incompétent et parlait un anglais approximatif. Nous étions les seuls clients, nous avons eu l’impression d’arriver dans un hôtel en perdition. Hôtel à éviter.

外觀與露台看出去的景觀都很棒，但床實在該淘汰了……床墊嚴重凹陷就算了，隨便動一下就發出很大聲的雜音，像床快解體一樣。
