Hong Ping was a crazy little hotel in a really busy part of Georgetown, I ended up staying there as I needed to get checked in somewhere quickly as I had been thoroughly drenched during a thunderstorm. It was very cheap, £13 for the night, the room was what you would expect for £13 but it did have great views... More

We stayed at this hotel in July as we were taking a bus up to Koh Lanta, via Hatyai early in the morning. The stretch of road that this hotel is located on is the main backpackers area, with budget hotels, tour companies, cheap eats, internet cafes and all day/night food. The room was fairly basic, it had hot water,... More
