“Great little guest house in a good location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We stayed in Villa Phathana for 5 nights in January 2012 and really enjoyed our stay there. The price was very reasonable considering the time of year (we just walked in and asked for a room following a bad experience with a different guest house). Although the staff didn't speak much english they were very welcoming and friendly, the rooms are big and nicely furnished with original wooden decor. They are a little on the dark side but not too bad. Breakfast is nice and quite a lot of choice, make it very clear when ordering though as they often don't understand you!! The location is perfect if you want to stay in a quiet area but close to anything you will need i.e restaurants/cafe's/markets etc. The area is beautiful too and you won't be disappointed. All in all a great guest house!

“Great location next to Grand Palace, lovely staff, spacious rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

Stayed a week, first in a huge front-facing bedroom for two nights, then moved to rear as it was quieter (no early morning traffic noise). Very comfortable family-run business, fab breakfast including a full monty. Wifi access. Staff really lovely and helpful.
Most recommended, see the pics attached of the rooms.

“Average compared to the options you have in town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed at Villa Phathana after reading Tripadvisor reviews, but we did not find the quality of our room to meet the standards of reviews that we read.
Our bathroom was old and not very clean. Rooms on the first floor have good views but the rest are dark at the back of the hotel. The location is great and the service very friendly. Breakfast was average.
We moved to the nearby Villa Pumalin and with a 5 dollars difference we stayed in an excellent room!

“Great location - very friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2011

Hotel in LP

We stayed 5 nights. The hotel was clean and neat, room size was okay. Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a double room in the extension. Hotel staff showed us the room before we moved in by own initiative. Try to get a room in upper floor as the rooms have wooden floors. Breakfast was very good (scrambled eggs or omelet, no buffet). Location was perfect, in quiet side street to main road, next to night market. Most interesting places in walkable distance. Wifi worked most of the time.

“Brillant service and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

Have stayed a Villa Phathana a few times and you really cant beat its great location. The rooms vary in size but are all very comfortable and quiet. The breakfast is WONDERFUL! Staff are always there to help out with anything you need including tuk tuks out of town or advise on what to do and where to go. I will definately stay there again and again - it always feels like home...
