Somebody put a lot of thought into the design of the guesthouse and the rooms, but there are enough weaknesses I can't give it more than a 3.5. For the price the room is exceptionally attractive and spacious, with a comfortable bed. Balcony has no furniture and fishnet covering the front (necessary because of thousands of mynahs flocking at dusk) kind of detracts. Wi-Fi was erratic; sometimes good, but sometimes just disappeared, or flickered on and off. Mostly very young staff were generally friendly, but severe lack of English limited their helpfulness (although they did figure out I needed to print some railway tickets and helped to do that). Limited breakfast options: rice porridge or "egg pan" which was two nicely fried eggs topped with some veggies and, thoroughly undesired by me, ground pork. Not open for lunch and there are very few other food choices in the neighbourhood. The dinner menu offers a limited selection in English and many, many more choice in Thai, e.g., four kinds of Thai spicy salad in English, 21 in Thai. Kind of felt discriminated against, but, to be fair, almost all guests were Thai. Don't know if I'd...

Read moreNot clean. Dust everywhere. Toilet reeked. Some ceiling lights not working. "Balcony" room is actually a room with windows to the busy street, and balcony is just a space outside the balcony door, with anti-pigeon net, zero furniture, no chair, table, nothing. And it's has been cleaned like two years ago, I had to wash my feet after visiting the "balcony", because I was leaving black marks on the floor 🤣 from all that street traffic soot! We complained about the noise and cleaning and were moved to much quieter room with windows from the inner terrace. Much better, but still zero cleaning in the room, dust everywhere. Disgusting slimy wooden sink. Who makes wooden sink? 😑 This property was the only one so far I've been in Thailand I was afraid to walk bare foot in the room to not stain the sheets I sleep on, so it was walking with shoes or cleaning my feet often.
