I stayed here for one night in Feb 2012, while doing a workshop at the University, which is very close by. I paid 1500 baht ($US 50) for the room thru agoda- at this price, this hotel is a complete rip off. The hotel sits right across from the ocean (maybe 30 meters) but the public beach is about a 10 minute walk away. It's a nice neighborhood and there's a little morning fish market (around dawn) right outside the hotel. The staff are friendly and nice (who also told me that the regular prices are much less then what they charge online through english language websites). The other guests when I stayed were all Thai and Chinese. The room would have been suitable for $15-20/night. For $50, it was a disaster. The mattress was as hard as a rock. I slept on top of the comforter. There was a television and a fridge (the fridge wasn't plugged in). The room had no other amenities at all. The shower stall was dirty, which is always disturbing. The hallway outside was like an echo chamber, and the other guests were quite noisy as they came and went during the evening and night hours. Breakfast was for Asians; this means that a plate was put before me (and everyone else) with a fried omelet, hot dog, 2 slices of luncheon meat, white toast, margarine, jam, and lettuce covered with mayonnaise. I ate...I stayed here for one night in Feb 2012, while doing a workshop at the University, which is very close by.

There is no chance I would stay here again. I only suggest you consider it if (1) you're Thai or Chinese and/or (2) you're on a budget and don't mind no frills. Either way, make sure to pay $20 or less.More
