The room was £25 per night which is more than fair but too be honest it still was awful. My biggest issue was cleanliness...the bathroom was disgusting to say the least. Everywhere you looked there were stains and the smell was unbearable. There was an electric box that hummed constantly and sounded like it was going to explode. Iv stayed in countless hostels all over the world and this place was worst than the bad ones. Staff were friendly but you get what you pay for I suppose....

Liked: Staff & service
It’s an amazing location and right next to a restaurant that rents mopeds. The Little Mermaid staff gave me space and didn’t talk to me much, which I prefer. The staff at the place next door were very helpful and the food was good. I only ate once at the guesthouse and it was a burger and it was the best bacon burger I had in Thailand. Kind of wish I tried more food there. I had a room with a window, so I could open the window for light, but at night, the light in the room was very gloomy. Room cleaning was good on the days it was done. I asked when my room would be cleaned one day and was told, “she’s not coming today”. The water pressure was a drizzle and pretty annoying trying to get conditioner out of my hair. But the location was great! My siblings and their families stayed up a massive hill. And the little mermaid, was a straight and almost flat walk to the beach!

Light was broken in room, furniture was extremely dated and in an instance held together with caution tape, mattress was broken, blankets and towels were dirty, no one working front desk, entire place smelt of smoke, sink didn’t function properly, the walls were clearly fake and just thrown together as I could see daylight through cracks and hear a birds nest above the bathroom. Pretty bad.

Was a bit strange as we did turn up to the address given but was then taken to a different venue up the road, no big deal just a bit strange. Room was basic but clean all you need for a short stop off, not far from the beach or restaurants bars and shops.

Humble

Nice comfortable service. Small rooms upstairs to a bar. I can’t knock the place but just know what you’re getting into; a room near the loud streets. We ended up checking out on the first night for a room high above the loud streets

Cheap hotel inside of bar

For about $10 a night, don’t expect too much. Walk through a bar to get to the reception. The rooms are on the second floor. Shower and toilet share the same space. Less than 10 minute walk to Kata Beach. The room seemed clean enough for the price.

Amazing budget option

We stayed here for 4 nights and were really happy. The room was one of the cleanest we’ve stayed in throughout Thailand, and I don’t think we saw a single insect or ant once, which again is rare in Thailand. The room had good AC, good Wi-fi and a fridge as well as being a decent size. The location is also perfect, right in the heart of shops and restaurants and only a 10 minute stroll to the beach, but just off the Main Street so nice and quiet. Would certainly stay here again

False and deceitfully advertised

This hotel advertises that it has a pool and free parking. There is NO POOL! There are even photos of the pool which doesn't exist. Some of the other photos are not of the hotel either. My wife and I booked partly because we thought there was a pool. There is also no free parking or any parking at all unless you park on the street. Other than that the hotel's location is great, 5 minute walk to the beach and lots of places to eat and drink nearby. The rooms are small and scream to be renovated but seem to be good value for the money and location. The hotel also rents motor bikes but overcharges for them. Just walk 50 feet up the street or around the corner and you can rent cheaper. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed it, mostly because of the location, but if you book just beware some of the photos of the hotel are not of the same hotel and there is NO POOL.

Good for this price level

I'm happy with the stay, for this price (around 650b/night) as many other hotels in good areas for this price can be bad. But some things can be better like cleaning, no fans in the toilet = nothing dries, strange smell in the room, really old bed (still not that bad) and the pool is 5-10 min walk away.

Paradise Inn - Great Location

Room was comfortable and clean. Staff very nice and they spoke enough enough English so communication wasn’t a problem and they taught me a few words in Thai. The Internet was reliable and there anything wrong with the speed. The hotels serves good food at a very reasonable price and the relocation is great and next to 3 restaurant that provide live music. There are several night markets selling good food and misalliance items. Kata and Karon beach are within a 15 minute walking distance. The hotel rents motor scooters but be aware if you are planning to park in front of hotel you have to move the scooter from one side of the street to the other each night or receive a 500 Bhat parking ticket, I did.
