Clean and modern with updated carpet and tiling throughout, the Star Royal has just one quirk: the hallways run the perimeter of what would have made a lovely courtyard were it not for the fact that a tin roof hides the ground below. Perhaps they ran out of space and needed a covered area to do laundry. Regardless, the noise created by this feature during the rainy season may keep you from uninterrupted sleep. This aside, the rooms are spotless with air-con and private hot water bathrooms. The rooms in the back do have windows but they are inches away from a brick wall. Pay the extra US$10 for a river view but keep in mind there are better deals on the river. Rates include breakfast for two.
