Baan Sabai features a good restaurant and bar area. The rooms are plain with no furnishings other than beds in most rooms. The shared bathroom and toilet facilities are very clean. It's reasonably priced for the area, but not the best value. Even if you don't stay here, the shady bar area is a good place to spend a lazy afternoon writing in the journal or playing cards as the atmosphere is pretty chilled.

Where possible the researcher will inspect at least a couple of rooms.

Danger: Crazy receptionist - 22nd June, 2009
Let me make one thing clear from the beginning... I have never stayed here but I had friends that did. I have eaten breakfast or coffee there several times and the restaurant staff while unsmiling did provide good service and better than average food.
The other day I made the mistake of trying to visit a friend and walked past the tall thin daytime receptionist. He followed me and said the only kind thing during this whole episode, ''Excuse me, this is private. You must leave. I was about to state my mission but as I was walking out he pushed my shoulder from behind and as I turned around, he got inches from my face and said, ''You want to fight? Before I could respond he kicked my kidneys and he and a coworker threw me on the ground outside the lobby. Pretty sore, I walked to tourist police station nearby and a policeman accompanied me to the guesthouse and he was told to go to the police station. He told police that I started the fight. He then started bragging that the owner was his relative. I answered that that was why maybe he felt he could get away with anything. As this was happening, I started thinking that perhaps this could go very bad with me being the one under arrest instead of him. (After all, this is Thailand.) So, I changed my mind and told police that I only wanted an apology, which the man did... twice before leaving. The sergeant told me afterwards that he would have arrested the receptionist but that I had probably made the right decision since I would not be allowed to leave the country until his court case was heard. My visa would have expired... not to mention my plane ticket.
I come to Thailand often and 6 months ago, I witnessed this same receptionist screaming at the top of his lungs at this meek old couple for politely complaining about their room.
There are many rooms in this same condition within 200m of here that offer rooms for 10 to 150B cheaper. For your safety and enjoyment I would consider the many other offerings!

Very basic - 4th August, 2008
Baan Sabai is definitely a very quiet, clean place to stay with very friendly staff, but the rooms are extremely basic for the money that you pay.

Clean with great outdoor area - 2nd March, 2008
For the price this is great accommodation! You are only ever going to get something basic for 170B a night but it is very clean - they are constantly cleaning the share bathrooms - the people are really friendly and the outdoor area is great. A nice spot close to everything but still far enough away to be able to get away from it all when you want some peace. I will definitely stay here again.

Pay extra for windows! - 26th February, 2007
We stayed here 1 night and got one of the cheapest rooms, with fan and share bathroom which was great! Except we also opted for no window, which was a mistake, as there was an air-vent facing the hallway and we were kept up all night with people arriving and leaving! Other than that, it was very clean and great.

Yes, a good place - 15th February, 2007
Agree with previous comments. Good place, basic, clean and quiet with all the action on the street outside. Nice orchid garden and helpful staff. You can have a decent breakfast in the restaurant.

Clean, basic, but cosy feel - 12th June, 2006
The rooms are clean and basic and bathrooms clean too. Great shower with lots of power. The bar area is lovely and staff genuinely smiley. Really soft beds and pillows, nice and comfy and quiet at night. All in all worth staying.

Clean and Quiet - 12th July, 2004
The Travelfish description is accurate. Ban Sabai is a decent place, with a feeling of being a bit off the busiest part of Banglamphu. They also have air-con rooms for 500B.
