I have stayed at this excellent little hotel more than a dozen times now. The staff are very friendly, the rates are excellent, and negotiable for stays over ten days. 24 hour cafe serves good Thai and Western food, and a little coffee shop at the beach end does great iced coffee. Right on the beach front, near Centre Road is ideal, as it is ten minutes by baht bus to Walking Street and all the shopping centres, yet not too busy. If you room is on the southern side you will get some noise from the bands playing next door at the Hard Rock hotel, but then you shouldn't be in bed, it is party city. Great pool if that is your thing rather than the beach.
