About the hotel:
This place is one of the WORST guesthouses I have ever been too. 1.The owner required me to pay the entire balance as as soon as I got to the reception, with a 100LBS bag on my bag, and after flying for nearly 20 hours, in addition to the fact that 2 nights were already paid before I got there, by my prepaid reservations. Repeating requests for a few minutes of grace to put my bag away, and settle in, and finding an exchange service - DID NOT HELP. THE OWNER WAS RUDE, AND INTOLERANT - BEWARE! 2. The room was in a building of about 8 minutes walk from the reception - sucks if u care about that! 3. Check their cancellation policy PRIOR TO RESERVING - IT IS UNBELIVEBLY HARSH! 4. The room was away from center - pretty scary at night - in a dark alley 4. No water pressure in bathroom faucet 5. Flooded shower pan - due to excessive amount of human hair that clogged the drain , and float back to visit yours truly! 6. AND FINALLY - compared to other VERY GOOD - AND MUCH BETTER NEARBY GUESTHOUSES - this place charges up to almost 5 TIMES MORE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL!!!!!

About the hotel:
The only place (out of 6 reservations I made) I was disapointed. The only good thing was the D.V.D and movies. The room wasn t so funky and nice as it looks like in pictures, there was a really bad smell in the room and in the hall. I think that at this price I could find better places.

About the hotel:
Great place, I was travelling solo and was welcomed, got suggestions on places to go, had a good time in general, thanks to the owner and the rest of the staff. The place is very funky, the rooms are clean and confortable, and just across the street from the beach (southern end of Chaweng, much more quite than the rest of the beach). I strongly recommend this place to everybody.
