"Dainty cut-out woodwork, jungle greenery and the sounds of nature (noisy mynah birds by morning, cicadas by night) give this property a fairy tale air."

"The epitome of colonial luxury...the handsome rooms have teak floors, cloud-soft beds and stone baths with rose-petal water. The pool merges gently into the lawns and sparkles with reflected beauty."

"Not many of the rooms in this newly renovated hotel, steps from Lan Thit Jetty, offer views of the river. Never mind; the rooftop bar does, and that's the main plus of staying here."
