Me and my friend stayed just one night as we were attending a party. I emailed the hotel the day before to request two single beds instead of a king. I received an answer shortly after and we ended up in a room with one king and two single beds in seperare rooms which was cool. The place needs a bit of an update but it was tidy and comfortable while super close to the hub of Paihia. We would stay again
