Solid guest house. Clean standard rooms, complementary water and coffee. Some room for improvement but no deal breakers: woodwork is a bit rough, owners don´t really speak English. Cable TV is there but the signal is very noisy. Rooms from 50,000 kip. Air-con room with hot shower for 70,000 in January 2011.
