Good value

The best thing about this hotel is that it is brand new and very clean. The room is spacious and clean, the bathroom is decent and all rooms have their own balcony. The room was well cleaned every day, unlike in some other budget hotels in Thailand. The location is close to the sea but the road to the beach is not very nice. Just before the beach it feels like going through a trash heap and it is really unpleasant. As we saw a snake there on the first day of our stay, we never used this road again. That meant that we had to go to the main street every day and then walk about 15-20 minutes before getting to the next road that took us to the beach. We booked the bike, so it was ok for us but I would not recommend this hotel to those who want to "wake up at the beach". Here you would first need to go through the busy street although the hotel is on the right side of this road and in reality really 3 minutes from the beach. Funny that they have not fixed this road. There is no restaurant at the hotel or next to it which is fine if you know it before. Much more than a restaurant we really missed a reception where we could talk to somebody, ask for advise, book departure transfer or prolong our stay. We did prolong our stay through Agoda eventually as we really literally never had a chance to talk to somebody from the hotel except for a nice cleaning lady, who did not speak any English but did a great job in cleaning that we really liked :) We had to trust that she will not take our things out of the room when we made the new booking through Agoda :))The hotel room must have been good as we did prolong our stay and did not bother to hustle with moving with our luggage etc but I would not book this hotel again because of the poor accessibility to the beach and not existing reception or staff.
