Hidden between rail tracks and apartment blocks, this delightful 19-room getaway is striking for its gardens and birdsong. Sun-drenched communal spaces include an open kitchen/sitting room with help-yourself hot drinks and a splendid central fireplace.
Spacious rooms at the co-owned, similarly priced Asia Mountains-2 might be more comfortable, but the second campus doesn't quite have the atmosphere of the original.
Swimming pool and yurt-beds are available May to September. It's unmarked down a tiny lane 100m west of where Gogol dead-ends, just beyond the far-less-inviting King House Hotel.
