We stayed here twice, drawn by the great location, friendly atmosphere, and the best mattress we’ve experienced in all of Thailand! Both times, we took a fan room and were actually given the same room. During our first visit, the toilet seat was a bit sticky and broken, but when we returned almost a month later, we noticed it had been replaced with a new one. Unfortunately, the hot water didn’t work on either visit, which limited us to short, cold, and refreshing showers during the daytime. It would be great if this could be fixed, but we didn’t complain since our stays were only three nights each time, and the price was very low.
However, during our second stay (and oddly not the first), we were bitten by bedbugs. Again, we didn’t complain but noted it. Despite this, the staff was friendly—always smiling and welcoming every time we entered. The place also has a charming balcony at the entrance, perfect for chilling and smoking, with plenty of seating and cozy carpets. It’s always lively with great people hanging out.
Overall, despite the minor issues, we’d still happily return and recommend the place to others. If possible, I’d suggest booking the AC rooms—they seem to be better, and the upgrade is only an extra 100 baht.
