Right on the river, this welcoming family-run guesthouse occupies a former rubber trading house. There's a massive ground-floor lounge and seven simple but charming rooms upstairs. The more-expensive river-view rooms – called the 'author' and 'river' suites – have their own balconies and are the pick of the bunch. No breakfast, no internet.
