The large construction site and the masses of coke cans and wrappers make the experience less desirable. The bus station is located in the south of Kontum. There are many hotels and guest houses for reasonable prices.
Malaria is a big problem in the area.
Make sure you use the mosquito nets in the hotels . The Hotel Dakbla , named after the river, was completed in 1996. Rooms with hot water and attached bathroom start at USD 9. Hotel 42 is a USD 5, but the rooms are dirty. Directly opposite is an even cheaper pit for USD 3.
