I went there because of the lonely planet recommendation which was too good for what I experienced. I chose one of the cheaper rooms which had no TV or minibar. The room was ok sized facing the garden with the swimming pool, there was an open window above the room door so one could hear all the noise from the corridor. There was no a la carte breakfast so I went to a nearby cafe. The laundry service was unsatisfying, one shirt got stained in the washing, when I complained they washed it again over night and removed large parts of the stain but not all.
The location is great, quite close to the temple, and the hotel gives a good colonial feeling. I got talked at by two men at two different ocassions telling me they were working at the hotel but weren't allowed to speak to guests so they had to speak to me on the street, and were pointing me to some shopping opportunities. This frightened me somehow.
There is a supermarket close to the hotel and some internet cafes.
