"This charming hotel is decorated in the colonial style with a Thai touch: lots of flowers! The staff is lovely and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The lower lobby is like a garden where we enjoyed breakfast every day. (There is also a breakfast room where the buffet is located.) The location in the Old City is just off the western end of the Sunday Walking Street, which contains many shops and eateries. Just a word to those who don't do stairs: there's no elevator, so ask for a room on the first floor (although the staff will take care of your luggage regardless of where your room is located)."
