Absolutely phenomenal staff and a PLENTIFUL breakfast including lots of bangers, toast, cheese and breads. They made my stay superb. I visited a beachside restaurant and loved the Western meals they offer. Top-notch service overall. Moreover, it had parking outside. Good value for money, budget and silent rooms.

I had a memorable stay, thank you so much! I liked that it was immaculately clean and functional, the staff were responsive and rooms were warm. I slept so comfy in the soft bed. The food was decent and with variety of options. Central location, relatively near a movie theater.

All good - we really enjoyed our stay - food was nice and EXCELLENT staff. A wide array of restaurants to eat close by, like sawasdee by the sea that was only 5 minutes' walk away. Plus, it has private parking onsite.

The street itself was noisy.
