Review by hotel critic
The room, although spacious and offering a nice view, had its drawbacks - no electricity upon arrival and a lack of fan or AC led to a sweaty discomfort until the night cooled down. the cleanliness of bedding left much to be desired, signaling an area needing improvement. On a positive note, the location is serene, a bit secluded from the hustle of the market yet easily accessible with a vehicle. the staff's language abilities were a challenge, but their cooperative nature shone through. the cafe was a lively spot, although service was slow. While the value proposition of Living Roof may raise eyebrows due to the lack of certain facilities and cleanliness issues, its potential for luxury is evident in the spacious rooms and peaceful surroundings.
