Great location near the South gate of the old town, but still hidden and not likely to be found by accident/passing by. Nice rooms, clean, well equipped and maintained, great value for their very moderate room rates (600 Baht walk in rate). Friendly and helpful staff and there would be nothing to complain about if I had not opted to take their breakfast for extra 100 Baht. This was a disgrace for the place and it may have spoiled my intention to come back and stay here with a bunch of friends for several days on a regular basis. The so called American breakfast consisted of one small fried egg, 2 ultracheap sausages and 2 slices of ham whch must have spent ages in plain water as the last bit of flavour had been completely washed out (not palatable, could not eat it). Orange juice was cheapest orange flavoured syrup mixed with water (not palatable), coffee was 2 sachets of instant coffee and a teapot filled with hot water. No milk available, just creamer, no butter just margarine, cheapest jam, 2 slices of toast (along with the lone egg the highlights if this breakfast). Whoever made the decision to select and buy the ingredients for this breakfast has no idea what he was doing and seem to have no interest in making his guests happy (so they will hopefully return in the future). It may not even cost more to scrap the ham and sausages and replace them with 2 slices of bacon and an extra egg. In my case the decision to possibly save a few Baht by using inferior ingredients and one small egg instead of the commonly served 2 will cost the place a 5 digit figure in lost future business - call it instant karma. Service lady was helpful and friendly, but restricted by what she was able to serve. She even offered to go to 7/11 and buy real milk for my coffee.||So if you just come for the room (and don't expect a view): yes, I recommend the place! There are lots of places with good food within walking distance near the South Gate.
