Description
Owned by the local entrepreneur, Pop Guesthouse is a rapidly expanding empire encompassing not just guesthouses but a bar, massage parlour, internet cafe and book exchange. Rooms at the main guesthouse are decent and set in a simple garden. Some air and some fan, newer rooms are cosily done up with amenities such as English tv and decent mattresses. Pop Guesthouse is often full, but if not you'll be met getting off the bus by aggressive touts, and it's worth trying to bargain for a discount.

Nothing special, but OK -

Room was OK with TV, but A/C room was overpriced at 450 Baht. Lots of mosquitoes in the bathroom. Good location, good for a stopover on the way to/from Ko Chang, but nothing to write home about. I'd opt for the fan room next time.
very nice -

POP Guesthouse -

I stayed here not once, not twice, but three times during my travels. This place is great, these are my friends, I consider them almost family. The owners will go to all means to assure your comfort, everything is affordably budget, the kids on property are pleasant and great, it is a warmly welcoming place for the TRAVELLER, not the TOURIST. Those who are tourists don't understand a truly wonderful place and will complain about everything no matter the truth. That being said, POP Guesthouse Rules, I'll be back on my way to Cambodia this winter. It will be nice to see my smiling friends again, this is a home away from the home I don't have.
Okay rooms, but avoid - 
By Lother ( total comments: 32 ) Stayed here 3/2007
Got a double fan room with bathroom for 250B. The room was okay, but not the cleanest. You can have better at most other guesthouses in Trat for the same price.
I have to say I was very dissatisfied with the place. The owner sold us tickets for the boat from Koh Kong to Sihanoukville, absolutely guaranteeing we will make the boat when he dropped us off at the bus station in the morning. However, the minibus he directed us to waited for more customers for so long that we were at the border at 8 AM sharp and obviously missed the boat. There was also no-one from the boat/bus company to meet us on the Cambodian side for free transport to the pier, like he had promised.
Good spot for passing thru... -

We stayed here on our way thru to Cambodia. The room was a little pricey for what you get, but the air-con was worth it. The staff wasnt the friendlist, but we found this alot in this area. The room was clean and a good place to crash for the night, they had good internet close by and the restaurant looked good even thought we didnt eat there.

Garden Home Guesthouse
87/1 Rad-anuson Rd, Trat
Despite the fact that this is probably the cleanest of the cheap places in Trat, and has a lovely garden sitting area, they do not seem to have a lot of customers.

Residang Guesthouse

Residang Guesthouse has been around for many years, and the walls tell the story. A new coat of paint would do the job, but this probably isn't going to happen any time soon.

Trad Hotel
40 Vitchitchanya Road
The old Chinese style building feels like an ancient hospital or possibly a prison, just older and grottier.
