Great location: across the road from the night market, night food market, and Mekong River. Walking distance to other facilities eg bank/currency exchange, restaurants/cafes. Room very spacious but felt that it could have been used for a larger wardrobe or shelves. Bathroom layout was poor; shower didn’t have a proper screen so the water went onto the bathroom floor. Not good for those wanting an early sleep as there is booming music playing from the night markets.
