This guesthouse was decently priced, the bathrooms were clean and the people were very helpful. The rooms were very basic but big. There was wifi and two computers in the main area, and they did our laundry within a day for 5 RM a KG. the location was great, but the night market across the street and the thin walls... More

The Crystal Guesthouse is conveniently located in the center of Chinatown near most of the sights. The downside is, that it is quite noisy.

The bathrooms were reasonably clean and the staff quite helpful and friendly but there are nicer... More
