I have rated this as very good, as it is for it's price range not because I think it is a fabulous hotel that you simply have to visit in this lifetime!!
I had no delusions of grandeur prior to staying at this hotel. If you're after a good location for a low price this is the place for you. It does not pretend to be anything it is not. Plus points, it is sat right on top of the night market, a short stroll from the beach and near to food/bars etc. My colleagues all thought the pool was very good too.
On the downside but I don't necessarily consider these negative given the market position. The rooms are basic but clean enough. Breakfast is passable, toast is on offer but I'd probably skip the rest unless you're a fan of congealed eggs. Due to the location there is a lot of ambient noise at night so if you're a light sleeper this is not the place. If you're looking for a place to crash while you explor Hua Hin and the locale and budget is tight then this is for you.
The staff are helpful, the hotel bar is open late (the singer is not to my taste mind), the night market is great and the food nearby is tasty. On a budget can't think of anything else you'd need.
