• Great food

  Haven't stayed here, although checked it out for this site last year, and rooms are basic but passable for the value - but the prompt to write this review was eating at their restaurant for the first time earlier in the week. Enjoyed an all-fish meal and it was absolutely delicious; their raw prawns with fish sauce are outstanding.

• Long House

  Stayed in the aircon room, on 1st floor. The design is somewhat like along house of Sarawak. The room was clean, but the aircon was working well. Not suitable if one needs a quite place, as the you can clearly hear the neighbors talkining as the wood that separates the room is quite thin. You need to walk softly too if you need to walk in the middle of the night. we paid 300bh for the air con room. Passable. However, we didint try the restaurant, but it sure looks good with the presence of a lage number of customers coming in every day.

• loved it!

  I absolutely loved this place! You can stay only for 70 BT - the cheapest that I have had in Thailand so far. Although the rooms are nothing special, but you need it actually only for sleeping... The garden is wonderful with a beautiful view on the river and some shadow, very pleasant to read a book or hang around with other people. The food at the restaurant was very delicious and cheap. And lovely funny staff. Definetelly come back(stayed already 2 times..)

• Just don't spend all day in your room!

  Ok so the rooms are a bit pokey and damp, but a decent size. What won me over was the beautiful garden backing onto the river, where you could happily pass a day just lazing around and chatting to other travellers. If you want to meet other people and aren't bothered about the quality of the room then this is the place for you. The restaurant has a huge choice and food is good, but can be slow with poor service.

• Alright I guess....

  The jolly frog was alright I guess. The rooms aren't expensive but you get what you pay for -- terrible beds and noisy air-cons. While the setting is actually quite nice (a beautiful area by the river), the restaurant is a little lacking and if you're looking for any extra amenities, forget it. We asked for a towel and were offered one to buy for 200B (and it was tiny!) Would be a good choice for people on a budget who want to meet other travellers. If you can afford even a little more, nicer places can be had!

• Okay

  Cheap, lots of Westerners, helpful staff, nice garden, near to some good cafes, restaurants and bars. Room clean, but basic.

• Social Place

  I was looking for somewhere a bit quieter so this wasn't the best place for me. The room was clean though and quite good value if you don't mind the poor design of it. My room had about 5 different themes going on in it from oriental bamboo to Jackson Pollock. Very strange

• Restrauant

  I think the restaurant is excellent, and with a superb menu, but as the original description says, the rooms just aren't that great and the place can get a bit noisy - this can happen when a place is first in the LP guidebook, the cheapskates flock to it. Hard to knock a room when it comes in at 70 baht, though - must be close to being the cheapest in Thailand in a major tourist area.

• Not so jolly staff

  We stayed for a few days on two occasions in the last three months. First we were lucky enough to see the sound and light show at the bridge. The guesthouse is quiet and the rooms average but the food in the restaurant is superb. The staff are a little miserable and would put you off if you weren't expecting this. Other than that, it was fairly ok value.
