The Yellow House Rayong — Hotel in Rayong Province

Yellow House Rayong is a great choice for accommodations in the Mae-Rumphung Beach area of Rayong. Situated literally across the street from the beach, Yellow House is a relatively new property. From all observations, this is a family-run establishment. ||||A note on construction: I don’t build buildings, but there were some things that impressed me. Shower instant water heaters were on a separate protective switch. The rooms appeared to be wired to western standards. The ductless aircon cools the room in minutes. The entire property has a solid, quality feel to it. I don’t think the owners short-changed themselves, but built this for the long haul.||||The standard room includes a TV, desk, small table, bedside nightstand tables, a small refrigerator, and a comfortable queen bed. Every room in the front has a small balcony (I don’t know about the rear side of the building). Ours faced the beach which was nice. The bathroom is more Thai style. While it has a western toilet, the shower is “right there” meaning most of the entire bath is wet after someone showers. If you have traveled SE Asia, this should not surprise or bother you. If you are new here, well, just be aware.||||There are few foreigners that frequent this beach during the period in October that my wife and I were here. Most of the visitors to this beach and this hotel are Thai people coming to the beach on holiday. I think I may have been the only westerner in the hotel this week – which is just fine. ||||The management and staff are friendly and helpful. As my wife is Thai and I speak some Thai, we have not used English with the staff. My wife believes the management are Vietnamese which can be confirmed by others on this site. Not a problem though. ||||Language issues here are to be expected. I have noticed that in this part of Thailand, people understand English, but have a bit of difficulty speaking it. It’s certainly not a show-stopper, but something to be aware of. ||||Back to the hotel, the rooms have no safes, but at no time did I think that my personal items were at risk – In fact, just the opposite. This family and very small staff are personally vested in this place and are security-minded. ||||The hotel offers a light breakfast. Breakfast is one of 5 choices. Four of them I believe are egg dishes and the other one is rice porridge. None are large or heavy. Juice, tea, water, and instant coffee also available. The nice part about breakfast is that you are looking at the beach with the sun behind you as you sip your coffee and eat your meal. ||||WiFi was free, but was weak. If you're trying to stream or do business, you may be upset.||||I booked our accommodations through Agoda.com, but I believe you can get the rooms at a better rate with breakfast included by calling them direct. The owner was nice enough to throw in breakfast for us even though it was not included. I still love Agoda.com and the ability to cancel without penalties. They are my first go-to site for accommodations in SE Asia.||||Yellow House Rayong is a very solid hotel that I recommend if you are looking for a clean property, with a great staff, in a real nice location. I would certainly book here again in the future. ||||Tips for Your Stay:||1. The nearest convenience store (7-11) is 1 KM away. Plan accordingly. That is also the closest ATM.||2. While the hotel has breakfast, any other meals are about 0.4 KM away. ||3. There are some great seafood restaurants within 0.5 KM. See my review on Pama Resort. ||4. Taxis are scarce, nearly non-existent. Set up the “Grab Car” app on your phone. Uber is outlawed in Thailand. Use as a last resort if you cannot get public transportation. ||5. For public transportation from the beach to Rayong proper, there is a blue “songtaew” line. Take the blue pickup truck with two rows of seating (song=two; taew=row) to or from the beach. They run about every 20-30 minutes. The cost is 25 baht per foreigner. ||||Happy travels and exploring.||||--...

One full day I was researching all the beach Hotels first thru TripAdvisor and then by personally checking six different offerings including the rooms with my scooter. I was looking for a quiet little and affordable room preferably with breakfast as i did not want to stay at the tourist bulk areas. So I found the Yellow House!!!!||This is a very nice extraordinary clean and well run Hotel with Breakfast included and Dinner if you want. Checkin was friendly by the sun and daughter, the father did the financed and passports, ad then i was in my room. Quiet, easy but all I needed - water for free, chargeable Coke in the fridge, air-con, balcony and Thai only-TV. No special amenities heated water for the shower but no hot water for tea. ||The mom and daughters clean the house and rooms every day to the finest.||Wifi is better in the front at the restaurant and beach, as in the room. Weekends can be busy as it is a popular beach for Thai-families to barbecue, but its so big no problem.||Sometimes the beach can be dirty after a storm or bad weather, but every body tries to clean as fast as possible. The water is very niche and fresh, it is the ocean and we know whats in there.||In total I did extend my stay from tree days to the entire week, end did enjoy every day.||Thanks to the wonderful family, looking forward...

Firstly, the location is good and just across the beach, the yellow house seems to be home run hotel. It is a small establishment, but not difficult to spot because it is painted in yellow. There are parking lots in front of the reception and you can rent a motorcycle here too. The rooms are very clean and neat, toilets have working good hot water showers and towels available. The staff are friendly although they cannot understand much English. They will try their best to get you around town. ||The price is very reasonable, will definitely recommend to all coming to Mae...
