The hotel is clean, without much gloss, but has everything you need. And most importantly, wi-fi and hot water without interruption. The staff is all friendly and accommodating.
To everything written about Meridian Travel, I want to add that the company works only with trusted operators, so it’s not scary to book a tour with them, even for a decent number of days. The difference in price for early booking is very decent. This is the second time we've been going like this, we're trying to save money. Rest is always great. The last time in December rested in Thailand.
