My second choice of hotel when I was looking for a place to stay for a few days and I’m so glad that I came here.

The room is large, although a bit dated, and the best part of this place is the view from the large windows facing the river. Sitting here having breakfast you can watch the aerial dance of the swallow feeding and the back drop, the fisherman throwing their nets chasing the elusive river fish.

There are rafts of water hyacinth meandering slowly towards the sea and at times they just sit, large islands where I’ve seen birds and Asian Water Monitors perusing looking for snacks.

Mind you no matter what time of the day the river seems to be a hive of activity and it’s better then watching TV, ’cause it’s in 3D.
