The Golden Crown Hotel
Nice place, good service. Not many sun loungers at the pool. Sad to hear that the leftovers from the buffet are thrown out and not given to the ones in need. Try to reduce food waste, and at the same time do something good for the ones without much.

Location good for getting around. 200slr for a tuk tuk to the cenrre or 10-15 min walk. Ony negative was the proximity to monk 5am ...
