The hotel is very run down. The walls are so thin you can hear everything. Every night you hear people coming back from the bars. Bring earplugs.

Bed was rock hard (I am surprised I slept ok!). Toilet was elevated, so if you have mobility issues, not the place for you. Shower was cold in the am (had to shower in the afternoon for warmish water) - not for someone with mobility issues either. Sink tap was wiggly, so hard to wash hands. No hand soap or hand towels were provided. Bath mat was moldy. Definitely not a 5 star (knew that going in). It was small and rustic. The attached restaurant had good breakfast for a reasonable cost.

Great facilities but not the cleanest

Great pool and loungers. A mouldy bathroom (would come off with a wipe). We requested for fresh bedding as my friends sheets were dirty - they put the same sheets back on the bed - twice ! Changed room to a visibly cleaner one but difficult to trust the cleanliness after that. Luckily we’re not too precious and still enjoyed ourselves, we had 4 nights booked. Restaurant and bar on site. Music finished at reasonable time ! Wouldn’t do laundry there but i hand washed a few items and hung on balcony, staff didn’t mind. Pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff.

La chambre... vraiment pas pour moi, L'eau était bouillante, douche très difficile à prendre, la chambre est affreuse, draps tachés et serviettes minces et tachées. Sinon le personnel est accueillant et à côté du Centro. J'ai voulu économiser mais j'ai pleuré quand j'ai vu la chambre....

The man at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming on arrival and every time I saw him going in and out of the guesthouse. Due to covid the guesthouse wasn't fully open so was very quiet and had more limited services than usual e.g. no airport shuttle, wifi only near reception. The room was quite basic and a little dated, but had everything I needed for the short time I stayed there. Bathroom seemed as though it needed a deep clean. The location is good with lots of restaurants to eat at within about 10 minutes walking distance. They are hoping to be fully back up and running around October 2020.

Great location, good value, a little dated

The reception staff were great, really helpful. The hotel is well situated, close to the night bazaar, the street market and the main town. The room was a bit dated, but spotlessly clean. The shower was aesthetically deceptive as it worked admirably.

Initially, we were given a nice newer room, but unfortunately we found it a bit too noisy (not sure if there is bar or there was a big party happening). The staff was very polite and accommodating, they offered us a room change. They showed us the room first to which we happily agreed. It was not as nice as the first room, but we were very happy with the change.

Nice room with AC and access to the pool. Very close to Old City. The food in the restaurant was good and not like the overly bland tourist food that is sometimes served in tourist areas—I had Tom Yum soup that was spicy and delicious :)

The property is well located and kept very clean. The problem is this building is at least 50 years old. In Thailand usually they have budget to build something but they don't have a budget to maintain it. Clean room good service but no shower curtain and and the faucet in the bathroom needs to be tightened. No place to plug in your electronics unless you unplug the TV. I can live with this but my girl friend is making us move to a new place.

lai Thai guest house

I have stayed many times at the lai Thai guesthouse and this time was very different,. the aesthetic changes they have made around the pool and the entrance really has amplified its spaciousness...well done....rooms still the same, because of the wooden matting on the walls seem to make the rooms smaller and darker....you never know, one day that might happen...staff are always excellent...will help you if you ask them.

This place was absolutely horrible. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude when checking in. She scanned my passport and did not give it back to me. Instead of walking upstairs to my room she simply left it at the desk. I was freaking out trying to find it and was shocked when the front desk had it. I even stopped by the front desk twice to use my safety deposit box and nothing was mentioned. The beds were uncomfortable I had terrible sleep and the AC did not work that well. The stairs were rickety and the room was dirty. I realize that it’s a cheap place but I’ve stayed in many hostels for that price that were much nicer. The last thing my partner saw before checking out was the cops arriving. Don’t stay here
