In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Quiet old-city location — Tucked away from the main road yet within easy reach of restaurants, cafes, and parks.
  • Immaculate, spacious rooms — Guests repeatedly praise the cleanliness and size of both private and shared rooms.
  • Exceptional host hospitality — Owners go out of their way—carrying bags, fixing backpacks, and leaving water and fruit for guests.
  • Strong value for money — At £11 per night with free coffee, tea, and bananas, guests feel the price is hard to beat.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Close to old-city sights but not central — It's about 1.3 km from Chedi Luang Temple, so some attractions are a longer walk away.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Standard rooms may share facilities, which not all travellers prefer.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 20:30, which requires planning if arriving late.
  • No pets allowed — Travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

“Room was roomy and clean, with a separate toilet and shower which was a bonus. The staff were kind and even carried our bags and fixed a broken backpack. Location was tucked away but close to everything. Having tea, coffee, a fridge, and microwave added convenience.”
