“A good budget option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We were here over Christmas 2011. We had room 201 which is at the front of the building. It's a good sized room with a small balcony overlooking the street. Traffic noise wasn't aproblem at night because the city tends to quieten fairly early but we did have one night of amplified music from a few streets away - that woke us up a few times. There's a cosy breakfast room for the usual egg breakfast and a neat little sitting area on the roof so that you can chat to fellow travellers and have an evening beer. We arrived at 5am and we were able to sit in the large reception area and doze of as our room was prepared - we were in our room by 9am, Banks are close by and Mann's restaurant is just around the corner. The staff on the front desk were very helpful.

“Wonderful friendly staff and a beautiful guesthouse”

Royal Guesthouse really is excellent value.The service was friendly, the reception staff was so lovely and really do care about their guests and I felt so happy and welcome every time I entered the grounds.I stayed five nights in two different rooms very clean and quiet ,13$ for a night.The rooms were decorated in Art Deco style.Breakfast was OK.For a few nights in a great city I couldn't realistically have wanted more for the the money.Location is excellent, in the middle of backpacker area.It was easy to take a blue taxi or hire a bike.
The staff aranged my transport to Hsi-paw and later to airport for a reasonable price in a shared taxi.
It's better to book ahead because during high season they have all rooms occupied by lots of tourist.

“The only problem is hot water..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

The hot water is limited if many people use it

And breakfast is not enough for me...(It is not buffet like other guest house)

But service is good staff are very helpful.

Location is also good just beside Manadaly Wall

“Basic budget guest house”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

It is a basic, budget guest house.
Paid $13 for a single room.

The location is good and opposite the guest house you can hire a bike.
The room I had was very small.
Not all staff were equally friendly.
