We loved the history of the Bamboo hotel! The common areas are a little worn and dated but we think it adds to the charm of the place. The pool area is really lovely and inviting. It is a fairly quiet, shaded area. We appreciated the gas bbq grill in that area as well. The room was clean and restful although there is occassional street noise. The kitchen had all of the utensils needed to prepare simple meals but the host does not supply any staple goods at this time(salt, pepper, etc). I did leave them a comment about that so hopefully that will change in the future. Also hopefully, they will replace the jalousie windows in the bathroom. because they would not close all the way which allowed a/c to escape and people at the pool to see in. The hotel is conveniently located to lots of eateries and shopping (DKTL shop around the corner has really good prices on souvenirs and is locally owned). We would definitely stay there again.
