C Star Travellers Inn

I highly recommend visiting the restaurant "Terrassa". It's located just 50 meters down the road from the hotel. The prices are affordable, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious.

The convenient location is the only upside. The room only has a bed, a wardrobe, and a mirror – that's it. There's no table, no kettle. Hot water is available in the next building, in a very dirty bottle (with mold). The staff are pleasant and helpful. But the main reason I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone is the bed bugs. I was bitten terribly during the night. The bites were very painful and itchy all over my body: legs, arms, stomach, and ear. I took medication and applied ointment, and the pain and itching subsided after 5 days. The bedding and mattress were dirty. There are no panes or screens on the window.

Everything was good, except there was no hot water. But the cold water wasn't too cold, so you could still take a decent shower :)

The hotel is located just 100 meters from the pier where the whale shark boats depart. There are shops and cafes nearby, which is very convenient. The room is small but clean. Be aware, there is no soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes, shampoo, etc., in the room, only 1 towel. You can ask for hot water downstairs, and they won't refuse. The hotel is next to the road, so if your window faces that way, it's very noisy. Overall, it's perfectly fine for an overnight stay.
