stayed here late August 2011. Wasn't sure what to expect of Karon or this Hotel. After a lot of searching on tripadvisor I decided on this place and it was more than fine. Actually, it was a lot bigger than I expected. It is very deep and narrow, adjacent to a couple of other hotels, so it is deceptive from the road-front. I had a room towards the back but the room was huge and was only about $35 aud per night. Hotel is across the road from the beach and the breakfast was decent. The markets are about 100m away and the main circle about a 8 minute walk to the right. The internet is bit of a hassle if you are staying down the back, as you need to walk to the lobby everytime you use it - it's about a 300m walk - the hotel is very long/deep.
The rooftop pool is great, a very good size. If i'm ever in karon again, I would stay here without hesitation, although Karon isn't really the nicest of places...good time I had though
