Advantages: Close to the water bus drop off, central to the dity
Disadvantages: Room very small, walls paper thin

...Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel We found this to be a charming small hotel. It straddles two buildings which is possibly its only disadvantage, in that we had to go up and under, round and down and up and under again through very narrow corridors to get to our room.

Advantages: Great selection of different oriental food mostly delicious, Reasonable prices, Rowdy Atmosphere
