Banthai Guesthouse

Long-running and popular

What we say:

This very long-running guesthouse is often full and has received loads of positive reviews over the years, but it seems to have been surpassed by other spots with better value, including Hang Jeng and TR, both of which are right around the corner. The only rooms that were open when we visited were the tiny and basic double fan options with shared bathrooms, and at 250 baht, TR raises the stakes by offering rooms that are twice the size with private bath for the same price. Nevertheless, the travellers who were staying here seemed happy enough, and on the up side, the guesthouse does have free WiFi and a solid location next to the river. They also rent out motorbikes as well as old single gear push bicycles for a pricey 60 baht per day, which pretty well sums the place up — the product doesn't quite match up to the price, at least by Sukhothai standards.

Small bungalow, nice price

stayed here end January 2010 for one night in a small bungalow, double bed, private facilities and fan. Think we payed 300 or 350 baht, which is OK value. When we payed our tap (for room, eating and drinking) next day we had the feeling we got overcharged, but we were in a hurry and had allot to drink in the nearby Chopper Bar the night before. Bungalow is pretty clean, beds are very hard (I slept well because of the alcohol though). They have a restaurant with drinks, but we only tried western food (pretty stupid, because it wasn't all that). Personal is very friendly.

Nice landscapes, but ...

The only setback I can find staying at this place was mosquitoes. Having dinner with shorts at the dinning can be be hazardous. Probably this is due to the lush vegetation landscape at this guest house. Overall, it was a fine guesthouse, a value for money.
