Le Bougainvillier

This is a lovely place, full of character with a nice dark wood finish, lots of books, a pleasant garden for sitting in and clean throughout. The very friendly owner who seems to switch between different languages effortless, was extremely helpful. She made arrangements for us to get to Kuang Si falls and the airport, all very efficiently and with clear prices. She even got up early on our final morning to ensure everything went to plan with the latter and provided a superb breakfast box. The hotel occupies a good position, right next to the morning market and close to the night market, various street food stalls and other key attractions. We were warned there may be early morning noise from the market but despite being in a room close to this, it didn't effect us. Our room was medium-sized and - again - full of character with some nice finishing touches. The shower was reasonable but only properly hot on lower flow levels. There was no safe (but I think some other rooms may have them). The only birds I saw in the garden were Sooty-headed Bulbul and Tree Sparrow. Breakfast was a wonderful spread of delicious fruit yogurt, an interesting sago dish with vegetables, fresh baguettes, freshly cooked eggs and filter coffee; all served on a sunny terrace. Nearby, cold drinking water is available to help yourself throughout the day. Recommended!
