S 2 Modern Boutique Hotel

PROs: away from the city centre so expected it to be quiet. As they are far, they provide 4 x daily shuttles to the city centre (9am, 10am) & night market (6pm, 7pm). Nice boutique hotel, generally clean. Nice little pool area, small gym; CONs: Costed more to get there by taxi from the airport as the hotel was "outside" of the city centre. Frankly, its about the same distance from the airport to the centre. Just any excuse to charge more. Requested higher floor but was refused & told hotel was full. It was busy enough but it did not feel like it was full. Spent 2 nights there, Friday & Saturday. Both nights (early morning), we were woken up by tour groups (Korean, we think) at approx 12.30am to 1 am. They were speaking at the top of their voices and were slamming doors for what felt like 30mins. Then, in the morning we were woken up again by the tour groups leaving the hotel at approx 7am. I think we were on the floor where they placed tour groups. You would think the hotel would caution the tour groups to respect the other hotel guests on the same floor especially at that time of the night/morning OR place them all on the same floor and other guests away on a different floor. Not sure how this hotel is rated #1. Booked this hotel based on Tripadvisor ratings but I would not recommend it. It is a little too far from the city centre. The hotel says 1.5km but it felt further and seemed to take 20+mins to walk. Breakfast was a little basic and the food trays were not replenished even though it was still an hour to end of service.

Staffs are friendly and helpful, nice location is great for relaxing on weekends

Very nice hotel. A small swimming pool, nice room, but above all VERY friendly and nice staff! Never met such a good hotel staff! The people are just so nice and friendly! Only thing to be desired is that there are too many mosquitoes here, I got bit 10 times. Note: it's 40~70 US dollars at the spot so sometimes it's cheaper than online.

Very nice hotel, very friendly staff, decent breakfast. Comfortable and high value for the price. Highly recommend it!

Cleanliness: Generally very clean room. Not sure when it’s opened but looks like everything is new and nice. Room size: Quite a bit space including a desk. Staff: Super friendly and helpful. Food: Hotel restaurant has great food with cheaper prices. Initially I didn’t book breakfast but their $5 breakfast was definitely worth the money. There are not many options around. Amenities: There’s a nice pool although I didn’t have time to use. Would be great in hot days. Can also ride a bike for $2 per day. Location: It’s out of the city in a quiet area. It wasn’t a problem for me as I was looking for a quiet place for good sleep, but the location might be problem if you want to be in the city center with many restaurant options. They have free shuttle bus twice a day at 6 & 7 pm. Alternatively can bike under 10 mins. Haven’t tried but I’m sure they’ll be happy to help if taxi or tuktuk is requested. Overall: Considering the price, it was a great stay for me.
