Pornthep Hotel
Could do better
25 Sri Wiang Rd, Mae Sot
Tak Province
Tel: (055) 532 590
Description
You can't help thinking that the Pornthep could do better. It's got arguably the best location in town, certainly if you're a businessman. There's literally hundreds of rooms and a fleet of staff yet the whole place seems like it hasn't had a makeover in decades. Rooms have TV, and some rooms have 2 double beds, but most are pretty musky. It's not as bad as the Star Inn, but it's not much better. Fan rooms have cold water, air rooms have hot water.

Lusy Guest House
Soi Ruam Chai, Mae Sot
Set down a quiet lane in a fairly modern building, Lusy's appearance is quite enchanting. Two floors of rooms are spread around a small courtyard, with small communal decking running in front of the rooms for decent socialising. As to the rooms, it's a mystery. When we asked the old lady if we... more
DK Hotel
298 Intharakiri Rd, Mae Sot
You cant miss the DK Hotel, and that's not a bad thing as it's one of Mae Sot's better budget hotels. The rooms are enormous for the price and all have TV. There are fan and air-con rooms, but it's worth noting that while the fan rooms don't have hot water, the air-con rooms do. There's plenty of... more
Star Inn
Behind Tesco Lotus, Mae Sot
The Star Inn wins the award for the most atrocious excuse for a hotel in north-western Thailand. Very obviously a short time establishment, the management are surprisingly friendly and welcoming to backpackers. Unfortunately if you have even the most modest of standards then this place will fail... more
