This hotel was popular with backpackers until recently, when the police banned it from accepting foreign guests. We’ve listed it in the hope that improved security will allow travellers to return in the future. A few doors down from the Jamil, this can be a good choice. The rooms are simple but clean, with shared bathrooms. The hotel also has a decent restaurant overlooking the street, a good place to watch the world go past over a plate of pulao (rice dish).
