Guy Guesthouse

Great backpacker spot, but not sparkling clean

There are occasionally cleanliness issues at Guy Guesthouse, but if you're looking for cheap good value, it's a decent spot. Very popular with the backpacker crowd due to their vast number of rooms, they offer a number of services including ticket sales, food and drink, laundry and a guests' discount for the internet. Fairly friendly staff combined with good priced rooms, serve to distract from the fact that the sheets are a little stained, even fresh out of the wash. The walls were at least recently repainted. The guest house sits aside the canal and there is a small access point to the canal-side path and a small jetty. They do have a few kayaks in the vicinity for those who want to explore.

No cleanliness issues, and nice otherwise too - 13th May, 2006
Guy Guesthouse is a nice, relaxed spot and a good choice for anyone staying in Trat. We paid the 300 baht for an AC double room and ended up staying for 3 nights. We didn't notice any issues with cleanliness such as are described above. Perhaps the rooms aren't as spotless as in some other guesthouses, but certainly not dirty either. The owners are helpful and pleasant and trust their customers enough to let them write down their own purchases, which is nice. There's an okay selection of food too.
