Auberge Sala Hin Boun
Along the river
What we say: 
The rooms here are a bit overpriced for what you get, but it's aiming to be the classy place to stay when visiting Konglor Cave. We actually found the river views more attractive at the Saynamyang Guesthouse just down the road, but the river here is pretty too. Under the same ownership as the Seng Chan in Na Hin, the rooms have a similar, attractive interior, though with some bouncy, bendy wooden flooring. They all have high ceilings, thatched bamboo wall coverings, furnishings, and private, hot-water bathrooms. The staff speak English and are quite accommodating -- it's a good place to hook up with additional tours of the area if you're staying on after seeing Konglor Cave. There's a fancy French restaurant on premises, with a small selection of wines, and dishes that range from affordable to very pricey -- the couchon du lait (piglet cooked by tourbe wood) goes for as much as US$30 a plate and needs to be reserved a day in advance.

Great relaxing spot
We loved this place, and thought it was a good value in the mid-range, especially if you want to relax and take a breather from frantic travelling in a super- cute environment (for just a one-night stopover, its virtues may be less relevant). Riverside rooms have great balconies on which to sit and read and just watch river life go by. However, the non-riverside building also has a shady shared front porch, facing towards the river, on which you could relax just as well (and I think the singles at $13 are a steal). Everything is very tastefully done, from the tapestries to the architecture, and the bathrooms were an excellent standard and very clean. Staff had a lot of information about options in the area, and the best maps of the cave and entire region. They were very friendly once they see you are not obnoxious. Food is not exciting, but at least it was very fresh (but you must order an hour in advance, as they are very slow). Also, they were very stingy about providing bottled water--apparently their purifying machine was having problems, so they wanted to dole it sparingly. There are one or two little convenience stores in the village, each of which had about 2 bottles of water in stock, so we bought those up to supplement it. TONS of construction of the new road is going on right in front of the hotel, and can be expected to continue until the rains, so it can be noisy in the day.
