Muse Light Luxury River View Hostel Reviews

The location is right by the bridge. Owner is friendly and sent a driver to to pick us up from railway station. He also carried our luggages to the homestay and up to the room. We booked the suite room and the balcony there is shared - pls note it is 2 rooms side by side with 2 separate entrances and 1 shared balcony. The view is great- being right by the iconic bridge. But come evening - it will be a nightmare for those who do not like bar music and heavy bass. The floorboards vibrate with the heavy base late into the night and stops at 1130pm. The location by the river with many mosquitoes is unavoidable. However our stay was marred by a serious security breach when the counter lady supposedly allowed other tourists to view our other room with 2 single beds and access to the shared balcony and then allowing them to book and stay in our room that we paid for. We were terribly shocked to see the swing in our room moving when we walked by to the homestay- that’s when we realise there were strangers in our room. The other tourists were rude and obnoxious demanding that we moved instead when we clearly booked and stayed in the room first. Even though the homestay owner settled the issue and was very apologetic. However, we find it very hard to believe that the counter lady does not know that the room was part of the suite room as there is only 1 suite in the entire homestay. Just because we booked a 2 bedder for the view, and had only 2 persons does not mean they can rent out the other room without our permission and allow others into our room that held our personal belongings. Unfortunately despite the warmness of the owner, we are unable to recommend this accommodation to others. Also, the homestay is unman in the night , and the room door is not able to lock (only have electronic lock) which makes us feel even more unsafe.
