Located just off the main tourist drag up a small, leafy brick path, the sweet Sackarinh is a squeaky clean choice. Faux columns line the common area where employees camp out to watch TV and tidy rooms wrap around its edges. All are fan-cooled and have pleasant enough beds with matching sheets and pillowcases. There is a closet and a vanity, while en-suite bathrooms are fresh with calming light blue tiles and hot water showers. Shared facilities are equally clean and are used by only two rooms. The staff are incredibly nice and happy to help with limited English.

Great place to stay - 21st January, 2010
We stayed at Sakharinh GH for 2 nights early Dec, then 6 nights over new year and would wholeheartedly recommend it: the central location is ideal; the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly (and several spoke reasonable English); the rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean. And the noodle stall at the top of the alley is one of the best!

Decent, but other options - 27th December, 2009
Arrived here late a night (7:00) so our reservation had been given up, as we had booked the fan room with share bathroom. We opted for a discounted air-con room for 12 dollars for 1 night. Nothing too special about this guesthouse; at least nothing that makes it stand out. Its centrall located, and the staff are nice enough, and the beds and rooms are decent, but we found MUCH better rooms right across the alleyway at the Cafe Croissant D' Or, which also had a bakery. 9 bucks for a fan room that was soundproof and like a cave at night.
