Decided to stay at this guest house after checking TA reviews and booked with Agoda, getting a very cheap price. We got the coach up from Singapore and was very late due to traffic delays but Ozzy was waiting up for us when we arrived and was very welcoming. The place has excellent basic amenities and is very well kept.... More

After passing on nearby sayang sayang hostel, we decided on this spot. Ozzy was very welcoming and accommodating. This place is well located, very well priced and although it has a rustic interior .i.e bare it is very clean. River at the back door is awesome and who doesn't like free tea and coffee. Recommended

We stayed here for 2 nights and it did the job. There are more then enough bathrooms so that's ok, our room wasn't the best, water leaking from the roof and a very humit.

Hi Hi, thanks for your frank review. Indeed the room that you slept in needs major renovation.The water seepage problem has been our constant challenge as this building is more than 60 year-old. We would never offer this room unless all our rooms were fully booked and only if customer doesn;t mind to staying. Works are underway....Thank you again for... More

We came across River One Residence after doing our homework on TripAdvisor...and it was our first ever decision to stay at a guest house/lodge. Apart from being unsure how the stay would turn out, we also didn't know what to expect from shared bathrooms. However, having said that, as first-timers staying at a guest house/lodge, it was indeed a sweet... More

This place is great. It is certainly one of the cleanest guesthouses I've ever stayed in. My room was massive and air conditioned, the sheets, the bed, towels, blankets-- everything was well kept, crisp and clean. The location is perfect; the balcony overlooking the river is quite nice as well. The owner is a very pleasant fellow; we talked briefly... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, and were very impressed by the welcome we received. It's basic but has everything you need for a pleasant stay in this fascinating town. There is a balcony overlooking the river where you can drink the unlimited coffee and tea provided, together with shared kitchen and fridge for your use.
