Location-
It was pretty good, easy to navigate the town. Lots of bars, restaurants and a mini mart just a couple of blocks away.
Room-
We initially booked a double share bathroom room which was $4 usd per night. Upon looking at the room we decided to see what else they had as there was no wifi in the rooms and it was just a small room with a double bed. They skipped showing us the double with private bath for $6 and showed us the double private bath with tv for $8. We ended up getting the room with tv and leaving the next day for Palm Garden Villa. Palm Garden charges $9 a night for a double with a tv (tons of channels), fan, private bath, much quieter location, free breakfast, tea and coffee, free fish massage, free bicycles and free tuk tuk into and back from town after 6pm as well as free airport and bus pickup. Not to mention an wonderful staff.
Staff-
The staff were very pushy. We arrived there in early afternoon, they pushed for us to get a pricier room, which we ended up doing. Then the 3 times we went back and forth from the room that day they badgered us about where we were going and that they could take us to where we wanted to go for cheap. We just wanted to walk around after sitting on a bus all morning, but they didn't seem to comprehend this. The next day we used the internet in the cafe, where we felt pressured to buy something, to book a room at the Palm Garden and we were out of there before noon never to look back.
Over all the place was fine. If you are a backpacker and just want a super cheap place to sleep I would say to go for it and just try to ignore the pushy staff. I would recommend Palm Garden Villa, it's so much nicer for one more dollar even though that is cancelled out my getting a free breakfast and coffee every morning.
