The owner is kind and provides good service. The room is nice to sleep and relax in and is unusual. Personally, I got a room with a view of the Mekong River. The atmosphere is like having a clear view of the Roman kings.

Satisfied with my stay here. The location is unbeatable in my opinion. The staff is friendly and helpful. I stayed in the river view room and it was more than you can ask for at the price. There is a coffee shop downstairs with easy access to all sites in walking distance to everything.

Very cool little hotel right on Mekong overlooking the Golden triangle. Markets, opium museum and places to eat right out the front door. Small, unique rooms with amazing views. Comfort bed and the hottest shower I have experienced in Thailand. The front desk is usually not manned, but go through the next door shop and downstairs to the Shon coffee shop to check-in. The room includes delicious, free, fresh coffee.

From the outside, we were completely shocked at what we had booked. However, ugh on the outside, yuck on the inside😊. A narrow staircase leads to the few rooms. We had room 303 with a view of the Mekong. There are also rooms with a view of the street. There is everything you need in the room. Kettle with tea and instant coffee (free), fridge, bathrobes, towels and a comfortable double bed with a view of the Mekong. The bathroom with shower is quite large. There are fresh towels every day. The lady who made our rooms is very friendly. We also liked the man with glasses and short hair😉 at the reception. The Hotel is really clean. We think price/performance is completely okay. Within walking distance are Sop Ruak, the Opium Museum, Wat Phra That, and the Golden Triangle viewpoint. There is a 7/11 right next to the hotel. We fully recommend the hotel if you don't have any problems with stairs. Thank you very much for the fine tea and the cafe latte. We were very happy about the surprise breakfast before our departure. Thank you very much🥰👍🥰
