When I first came to Thailand I stayed here for a week and it was brilliant. The staff were cool and down to earth and couldn't have been nicer. The room was great and I got to meet some lovely people. Left my towel there which I'd had for 5 years, hope its still drying people :) anyhoo, thank you for looking after me when I was there, drinking with Martin and the crazy Aussie barman was amazing. Hope you keep it going.

I wrote a review of this place but I either didn't post it properly or it got removed. Anyway this place is so grim I thought I'd write it again but not so long. If you want any sort of comfort don't stay here. …

For hippies only. This place is loud throughout the night and in bad condition. The staff however is helpful and did a refund even though they usually don't refund card payments.
