Reviews
The room was on 3rd floor. Basically the hotel rooms started at 2nd floor only. Very small steps, don’t even imagine taking larger luggages. We were travelling with traveller bags only, so it seemed perfect for us. There is a small terrace there, where you could sit and chill. The room seemed quite standard, I wouldn’t call it large or small. Wooden flooring with more like Chinese set cot. The location is the best of all. Only this one reason seemed enough.
Very nice and clean hotel with great value for money. Honestly, I don’t really understand some of the negative reviews, because from our experience in Thailand so far, you often pay more for places that are less clean than this. The owner is very friendly and welcoming, which makes the stay even more comfortable. The location is also quite relaxed, not too hectic but still convenient enough. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would definitely come back. 👍
PROS: 🍃👌🏻 The hostel has a very convenient location, making it easy to get around the area. The place is clean, and the toilet and bathroom are decent and neat, which I really appreciated. The family room is spacious, and the beds and pillows are soft and comfortable. The towels are new, clean, and soft, adding a nice touch to the overall stay. CON: -1 ⭐️ Everything seems perfect until nighttime, when the light from outside lights up the room quite noticeably. It would be much better if the door had a curtain to block out the light ✨
Greeted by friendly lady, although I found the hotel hard to find as it's above a restaurant with poor signage.The large room was very old fashioned, with the door to the hallway glazed - there was no curtain to block out the interior lighting to the separate toilet/showers. Convenient for the station though. My room was better suited to four budget students with the rate split four ways, in my opinion.
