Shanti Lodge

For your own sake don't stay here!!!!!!!!!By all means head up to the rooftop restaurant and eat their overpriced food and drink their ridiculously priced beer but don't let yourself get swayed into staying here!!!!! Yes the view from the roof is incredible but there are other places to find the same thing. Maybe we caught the place on a bad day but we found the accomodation staff to be rude and a little threatening, the room was the pits, dirty, with a shower that didn't work and a bed that had seen far too much action!!! At night the room filled up with insects and in the morning the bathroom floor was a about a centimeter deep in the things, needless to say after a one sleepless night we left, and this was in the supposedly ( according to the Lonely Planet ) new rooms on the top floor. Do yourself a favour stay anywhere but here.......the view from the roof is hard to beat though.....
