Description
Rooms are a little overpriced for cramped quarters, no top sheet and, for those with a private bathroom, TV with Thai programming. But the balcony out the back with priceless views across the river and distant fields goes a good way towards making up for it. There's quite a few different rooms and the prices seem to be a little 'spur of the moment', so haggle for good deals. The elderly couple that have run this place for the past 20 years are starting to encounter health problems; it remains to be seen whether their son will restore or ruin the reputation.

Yes, it's a great view of the Yuam River, but everything else was a disappointment. Staff is negligent both in customer service and upkeep. The bathrooms were small, dank, and smelly. The rooms are tiny and cramped. You're better off going across the street to Northwest Guesthouse for the same price range.
