The Banilah was an excellent place to stay! Upon our visit, the guesthouse staff quickly welcomed us and check us in. We had the air conditioned room (I recommend it), and it was very clean and comfortable. The location is probably not for all travellers. The guesthouse is located within the local community, up in the north-west part of the town. So it's not near the inner city, nor the tourist night market areas, etc. The guesthouse always seems to have a "resident" tuk-tuk driver, and he always took us into town for around 40-50 Baht. Coming back, it was around 60 Baht... you have to bargain a bit to get a good deal. Most tuk-tuk drivers start around 100 to 150 Baht - but you can easily get them down to 60. The area is quite nice - and very local. The guesthouse staff…
We stayed in an AC room (THB 500 a night) for a few nights and found it lovely, the place is quite new. Room wasn't huge and the bathrrom (with typical Thai shower) was connected to the room through an outside door, but it was clean and quite smartly decorated with cable TV. Fresh soap, linen, and drinking water every day. The common room has free internet as well as large LCD tv and DVD collection. Op and her staff were fantastic, spoke great English and were very helpful and always eager to please. Whilst it isn't in the Old Town or Riverside everything you need is close by, i.e. restaurants, Tesco, laundry service, bars etc. and I loved the area. No pushiness and everyone was really friendly. It costs about 80 baht to get back from Night Bazaar by tuk tuk.
