Overall, it was a good hotel if you aren’t planning to spend much time at your hotel. Our stay at the Padma was comfortable for the price we paid. The road leading to the hotel was under construction, therefore seemed almost impossible to get through. Though this will likely be complete soon. It’s a family run business which is nice because everyone was very friendly, but lacking some professionalism. I don’t think we were expected at check in. The room was fine. Huge main room and an extra empty kitchenette/sleeping quarters. The bathroom could be scrubbed cleaner. WiFi was strong. The air conditioning was strong. The breakfast was included but only two options from the menu, lacking a little.Nobody officially works at the restaurant or pool, you have to flag someone down from the lobby each time you want towels or breakfast. It wasn’t a big deal, I can understand it from a family owned operation. The listing said free area hotel shuttle but we were charged for the taxi service at the conclusion of our stay. We brought up the misunderstanding and they did drop the taxi service charge. Very nice people! Overall, the location is okay. Close to bars on the main strip walking if you cut through another hotel. We didn’t rent motorbikes which is probably our problem and if you are comfortable doing that the location would be completely doable for any activity. Pool was good. The view from the hotel was obstructed by a new construction. They did have someone to help arrange tours.
