We booked over Air BnB at the Karavansara Retreat and were more than delighted with the apartment. The apartment was spacious with the living room balcony overlooking the street and river. The location could not have been better being only a few minutes' walk from the Old Market and Pub Street. The rooftop pool was always quiet.

Clean hotel with the most friendly staff we experienced travelling around Asia. They let us use the shower in our room in the afternoon after we checked out. Food in the restaurant was pretty good too.

We booked this hotel after various good reviews.This is why i have put a bad,but fair and true review of this hotel.
1.we emailed the hotel 6 hours before arrival to ask them to arrange an airport pick up,there was no reply and when we landed there was no one to meet us/pick us up.

2.When we arrived i questioned why no one had picked us up and they said they had not checked their emails!I told them it was ridiculous that a hotel does not check their emails,the manager appeared explained that they had just taken over the hotel and were sorting things out.He apolagised and said he would arrange a FREE taxi back to the airport on our departure.

3.We stayed here for 5 nights,we left to go to the temples etc some times at 5 am,upon arrival back at the hotel,sometimes at 3-30pm the rooms had still not been cleaned.On two occasions we complained as we had to sit outside our room in the baking heat and wait for the rooms to be done!This hotel only has approx 11 rooms.The rooms had NO SMOKE ALARMS

4.Twice we sent washing to be done,on both occasions clothes were missing,which we had to chase up.

5.There was no one on reception after 6 pm except a security guard who spoke no english,everytime we arrived back at the hotel after a night out between 10pm and midnight,he was always asleep in the chair away from reception,where all the room keys were left on the counter,anyone could of walked past take a key and rob the rooms.We walked past him on numerous occasions without him waking up.

6.The morning we checked out,we asked if they could arrange the free taxi to take us to the airport,the manger was nowhere to be seen,the receptionist said that they had arranged a tuk tuk to take us to the airport,i said the manger had said a FREE Taxi because they had let us down at the airport pickup.I was told that they were only prepaired to pay for a tuk tuk.I told them to stick it and said it was disgusting that they had gone back on their offer and expected us to travel to the airport in 40 degrees heat with no aircon in our travelling clothes.If this is sorting things out/customer service,they really need to take a good look at themselves and the company that have taken over this hotel need to take a good look at how they run a business.

7.the hotel is in a great location,5 mins walk into the main town/resteraunt beer street area.

8.The room when cleaned was very comfortable
