After island hoping and a long road trip to Bangkok and a short flight here it was a delight to pull up outside in a taxi. I knew I was going to love the place.

A warm welcome and a fresh fruit drink was a great start along with Noot (the superb hostess) unfolding a map and then marking off places of interest and giving us some tips. The reception area is very stylish with a water feature and koi carp to distract you from the fact you are in a busy part of town.

If you sat in reception for any period of time a chilled drink would always be offered to you. Nice!

We stayed in the Bangkok room. I personally adore reclaimed furniture and the vintage look so I was very happy. A good sized room and bathroom with quirky bits and pieces. Very comfortable. Oh, you could sink into this bed as it was so comfortable.

There are a fair few Mosquitos so do come prepared.

Shampoo and body wash supplied and the towels are good quality.

There is a kettle in the room but you need to bring or buy your own supplies. There is a decent sized fridge too.

Because of all the wood, there is a bit of noise at busy times but nothing that the white noise of the air con and bedside fan won't drown out.

Breakfast varied and good sized too. Pot of coffee would be nicer but we are coffee guzzlers.

You can walk around the corner to a shopping centre with a variety of decent shops, chemists, massage places (cheap!) and a large food court. You need to buy coupons before you order food and can get a refund on the vouchers you don't use. Good coffee shops there too.

Within a 5 min walk at night, you will find excellent street food stalls.

We used the red taxi service on our 2nd day to get to the night bazar (no more than 20 baht each, 30 at a push - if they want more then tell them to go and flag the next one down. It's slightly more expensive at night). We walked back - 30 mins or so at a reasonable pace.

If you are happy to walk places or jump in a red taxi then this place is fine. It's not far from the YMCA. A scattering of chic coffee shops around this part too as well as a street food staff 1 min walk away.

We live in London and when we visit any other large city we always stay just outside of the busiest areas and this place suited us perfectly.

I found every single member of staff pleasant and polite and always smiling.

A special mention to Yo who was always asking if we were ok and had us laughing our heads off during the impromptu photo shoot when we were leaving. The talented Chef and the lady who keeps the whole place spick and span also joined in and waved us off.

I would highly recommend this place. It's truly wonderful.

I was walking past this Guesthouse, when I decided to pop in and have breakfast.
What an aptly named establishment. The decor and surroundings are there to stimulate ones senses! A very calming and relaxed atmosphere.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable breakfast. Afterwards I had a good look around, and was impressed by what I saw.
Please note that this is by no means a 5 star hotel, but more of a peaceful quirky oasis just off the old city.
