Smile Home Overview
You know what, Smile Home really lives up to its name in the most unexpectedly charming way. I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to this three-star spot, I wasn’t expecting much beyond a decent bed and working WiFi. But there’s something genuinely welcoming about the place that hits you right from the lobby. The staff actually remembers your name after day one (not just pretending to check their computer screen), and I mean, that goes a long way when you’re feeling a bit worn down from traveling.
The rooms are what I’d call thoughtfully simple – nothing fancy, but everything works properly, which honestly puts it ahead of some pricier places I’ve stayed. The beds are surprisingly comfortable, and whoever chose the lighting actually understood that travelers need both bright light for packing and soft light for winding down. I appreciated the little touches too, like having enough outlets near the bed and a shower that maintains decent water pressure. The housekeeping team clearly takes pride in their work – towels were always fresh, and they somehow managed to make even the compact bathrooms feel spotless without that harsh chemical smell you get at some budget chains.
What really sets this place apart though is how it manages to feel like a neighborhood gem rather than just another hotel. The front desk folks genuinely know the area and will steer you toward the good local spots instead of just handing you a generic tourist map. I ended up discovering this fantastic little coffee place just two blocks away because one of them mentioned it’s where they grab their morning caffeine. The location itself is pretty solid – you’re not right in the thick of everything, which means you can actually get some sleep, but you’re close enough that a quick taxi ride gets you wherever you need to be. Parking was never an issue when I needed it, and the neighborhood feels safe for evening walks. At this price point and with ratings consistently in the 8+ range, Smile Home delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense – just solid hospitality and genuine warmth.

Reviews of Smile Home
Jacopo from United Kingdom (9/10)
Very comfortable and modern room. Beautiful view.
Ixora from Malaysia (8/10)
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a pleasant experience. The location is a big plus—it's just a 5-minute walk to the beach, and the road access is really convenient for getting around. If you're not expecting a 5-star experience, this place is a great choice for a more budget-friendly stay.
The staff was friendly, and they made sure to clean my room every day, which I really appreciated. The service was overall good, though it’s important to note that there’s no elevator, so be prepared to use the stairs if you’re staying on a higher floor.
Overall, it’s a solid option for anyone looking for a simple, well-located place near the beach with decent service.Kamal from Pakistan (8/10)

Nice little hotel which had everything i needed. The restaurant offered a great selection of food and drinks and staff were sound. Beach nearby and Bangla not far so great value for money.

The location is excellent, and the staff at the massage shop and restaurant were incredibly friendly and helpful. They acted as our personal concierges, always ready to assist us with anything we needed
