Hôtel Cyclo

Lots of potential. its under new management and I think they have their hands full. The dining area was good. The staff was a delight. Update the damn photos so we don’t make the mistake of booking thinking we’re getting a nice place with a decent bathroom and shower.

The photos were remarkably doctored. I’m not a backpacker on a 2$ budget. I chose the place because the jacuzzi on the roof looked great and the room looked great. But the room they gave us had white mold all over the walls. It wasn’t the room in the pictures or bathroom in the pictures maybe those pictures were from 25 years ago and doctored to ruse perfection. The room I was given wasn’t the Room I booked. Although they said they’d give the other room, they followed it with the caveat that it gets wet when it rains. So... I didn’t go for it. Because it’s monsoon season. They should say in the profile that the room you see isn’t what you’re getting. You’ll get one in disrepair with white mold everywhere. And the jacuzzi/roof/bar is a bit of a joke. Like- dead. Can you get a lamp in the room? Only Overhead light is pretty suck. If this were ten years ago and I was a backpacking kid with my friends it would be a decent spot. The photos made it look classy. It has charm though. And the staff, again, was excellent. Barely worth 10$/night. I’ve slummed through Southeast Asia twice before. This time was supposed to be different. This place was a mistake. But we could take it for two nights.
