Kompose Boutique Hotel
Rooms were tiny and horrible flow. Door to the toilet was the same door for the shower. AC didn’t work and when it did it was extremely loud. Breakfast was blah. Liquid eggs. Front desk looks like the cashier to the small shop. Staff were friendly but I will not be staying there again.

Room was clean. Both beds were very sagged (slept like in a hammock).
