The owner met us on the bus station when we were having a look at the map and introduced his hotel. Directions: Out of bus station, take right and then take left in the alley which is opposite to 'Sombat tour company'. There are signs to guide you from here. First we were shown AC rooms costing 500 THB and looked pretty good. These are on the same floor as reception. Next we asked to see fan rooms costing 300 THB, looked very basic and decent. All rooms were facing the river side and included breakfast (Bread and coffee). Fan rooms were on the underground level, meaning river was very close. Bathroom was good with hot water and twin beds had little space to walk between them. We took the budget option and it was basic enough, except that the next day there were a few ants in the room and a few insects in the bathroom. Would not recommend for a long stay. Rather, AC rooms looked newly constructed. This hotel is very much on the strip where there are many other hotels. The owner was very helpful speaking fair English, he helped us with navigating through the place, drew rough maps, chatted in evenings, arranged bike at the hotel (costing 250 THB, but new one). He himself belonged to the minority hill tribe, but could speak English as his father worked with the Burmese army.
