The Klagan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Well located hotel in the centre of the city, close to the local markets and malls. Large clean room with a safe. Decent buffet breakfast. Very friendly staff. "

Gaya Centre Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was fantastic and super helpful and responsive. Moved me to a room with a view when checking in. Hotel is a little dated in terms of furnishing, but I can’t complain for the price. Felt safe the whole time, 24hr front desk for wacky checkout times, and convenient location across from the mall. Only major complaint is the noise at night. Albeit I was offered a quiet room or a room with a view, but just a little frustrated with waking up around 2-3am every night because of motorcyclists racing down the street. "
