Tony's Place
Long-running and popular

What we say: 
Set upstairs from the popular restaurant/bar at the heart of the backpacker strip, a consolidation of several wooden houses at different levels offers something to suit a range of styles and tastes. Well thought-out rooms range from simple fan editions to a mini-condo complete with music system, fridge and stylish lounge. All fan rooms now have private bathrooms while the pricier rooms are quite swish and tastefully designed with soft queen beds, TVs, desks, a mix of dark hardwood, flush white and exposed brick walls, Buddhist inspired paintings, soft lighting and sumptuous bathrooms. Among these there are plenty of common spaces to hang out and relax, and downstairs is one of the most happening restaurant/bars around, complete with a pool table. Staff can be on the impersonal side but WiFi is free, and the restaurant has a good choice of Thai and Western food with a selection of vegetarian dishes. You would expect this area to be noisy as it's party central, but the air-con rooms seem to stay quiet thanks to the design and proximity from the street.

Enthusiastic and Friendly Staff
Great Place to stay. Walking down the street, lost, with our backpacks we are ushered into the guest house with promise of cheap rooms and free internet. For 250 baht we had a basic, but very clean, room with a fan and a private bath (though there was something to be desired here). The town was pretty much empty of tourists when we were there so I can't comment on noise - though the fan seems to drown most things out! The food in this restaurant is AMAZING! Some of the best Thai curry I have had so far.

Thoughtful Decor in A/C Room
Over the years, I've stayed several times at Tony's and always been pleased. In 2006 my wife and I stayed in a fan room with a mattress on the floor, and it was comfortable and good value. This time around I splurged on a 500 baht a/c room. Of the 9 hotels in two countries I've stayed in on this trip, this was easily the most attractively, thoughtfully decorated.There were swathes of textile wallpaper, a gilded wood bas-relief of the Buddha's head, several pretty, well-framed prints of life in old Siam, and a range of attractive wood furniture. The bed was comfy. I have never had any problem with the staff here, and this time they had a particularly likable group of girls and women working the place Plus the manager guy, who's a bit of a character, but go along with him and you'll get along with him).

Great place!
The rooms are very nice and comfortable, spacious and the decor is quite nice also. Didn't experience the noisiness that others have mentioned, perhaps I was lucky, but this in my experience was no issue at all. Pros: nice rooms, good restaurant, comfortable common areas, Internet. Cons: cleanliness was not 100% there, the bathrooms are not very nice.

Very noisy!
I've stayed at many guesthouses throughout Asia, but have to say that this place has to be the absolute noisiest place I've ever stayed. No way can you even think about trying to go to sleep at midnight. The bar on the ground floor is open I think all night and as it's now 12:30am the drunk kids downstairs are watching the soccer games on the big screen and yelling/screaming. I asked when will the noise stop and got a blank stare. I definitely would not stay here again even though it's conveniently located to good restaurants and a great wine/cheese bar across the street. But even with earplugs, you cannot get rid of the noise. Awful place to stay.

The place to go in Ayutthaya
This is the place to head in Ayutthaya if you want to meet fellow travelers. Their ''Ancient City'' themed restaurant makes the trick. Food is good and so is the service. Billing is fully computerized so no reason to argue around. Rooms are available with a large variety so choose carefully, some of them are quite worn. Walls are wooden and thin; if you really need to have a sound sleep go elsewhere or use earplugs (seem to be one of the most important things to have traveling in Thailand). Staff is usually very nice; they even don't mind people on a budget bringing in their own food.

Hip place
I like Tony's Place, it is quite a hip place, good room, clean, prime location and reasonable price.

Little noisy
Got the last room in the joint, 800B for a REALLY big, nice room. Only problem was it was right above the kitchen. A little too noisy for us, but besides that we had no problems. One advantage is that all the tuk-tuk drivers know where it is.

Good place, bad manager
Cool place, nice layout and good rooms. The big rooms with balcony for 700B are quite nice if you can afford the luxury. Huge, A/C, interesting furnishings. We had a misunderstanding with our reservation and the manager flew off the handle really quickly. We were fine with the room we got so there was no problem in the end, but the manager ignored me through our whole stay while trying to butter up my girlfriend by being unnecessarily nice -- not realizing that by getting mad at us he made her angry too. Dumb guy! Like I said, the room was fine but we decided to get our meals and motorcycle elsewhere and not give any more money to Tony's. The manager was a dampener on our trip.

Nice place, rude staff
Good little place, rooms are nice, some even had a small balcony! Had issue's with some of the staff though, they forgot to do our laundry and then tried to blame us saying we hadn't given it to them -- twice! Apart from that it's a cool spot to hangout.
