Manotemple house

Other guests were noisy, and the parking situation let the place down. The entrance is a very steep downhill for scooters, and the rooms lacked windows and a view. Still, I had a wonderful stay overall. The hotel was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

A decent budget option, and the free breakfast was nice. The rooms were generally clean, but the bathrooms were always wet and a little dirty. The outdoor common area felt muggy, with so much wooden furniture and so many plants. WiFi didn't really reach our room.

The owner, Hang, was friendly and very hospitable, the rates were good, and the place had a relaxed vibe. Check out the backyard gazebo, also known as the 'smoking garden'. Breakfast is included: baguette and omelette or scrambled eggs, with coffee or tea. The heated shower and air conditioning worked fine. The rooms and towels were clean. My one concern was the hard mattress, which could be a deal breaker if you have back problems or care a lot about mattress firmness. I don't know if every room has the same mattress, so it may be worth checking the room yourself. It was a pleasant stay.

It's a cosy place, and breakfast is included and really nice. Everyone eats around the same table, which makes it a good chance to meet other travellers. The dorms are pretty decent, with hot-water showers.
