I have stayed here numerous times over the past 10 years. Typical backpacker/traveller feel. I had a Superior Double room, there are numerous different room types including dorms (with levels of satisfaction varying significantly from what I can tell). I’m sure there are better places in the neighbourhood, but I am lured by the convenience of location and knowing what I am getting. Pros: great area set amongst the laneways with plenty of eateries/bars, pleasant place to stroll; convenient to ferry, walkable to Palace; quiet, bright and airy room with small balcony (bathroom built on balcony/semi outdoor); comfortable bed, nice linen; reasonable value - I found a decent deal; small pool area. Cons: rooms relatively tired, but clean; ground floor restaurant overpriced (but plenty of alternatives on doorstep) - the restaurant used to be very busy but was rarely more than half full which I suspect reflects poor value vs alternatives; staff somewhat surly; THB1,500 cash or passport deposit required for room damage; trying to evolve from a backpacker place but retains large notices about fines for taking non guests past the stairs, charges for damaged room items etc; which makes the place feel less friendly; wifi signal was not good in my room - only worked if I stood by my door (my room was at one end of the building). Overall a decent place to stay (in the better rooms), I feel there are better places, but if you like staying in a traveller type place, this is “ok”.
