Description
This Scandinavian-managed establishment attracts a lot of Danish customers and has a dizzying selection of rooms and bungalows. A guesthouse building across the alley has the cheapest rooms -- they aren't great by any means, but are excellent value for money, and not too far from the pool, restaurant, and common area. The bungalow rooms are small but cute and they are clean and well-kept, surrounding the pool, motel style. The pool is no great shakes, but good enough, and there's a poolside bar with a great atmosphere. This is a top pick for families on a budget, as well as backpackers, making it one of the best all-around budget spots in the Kata area. Recommended.

Guest feedback
noisy area, surrounded by skanky bars - 
By Averydka ( total comments: 5 
) Stayed here 12/2006
Stayed here 3 nights. It's about a 15minute walk to beach. Lots of prostitutes hanging out at the bars in the front of the hotel. Rooms in front noisy til 3am, back rooms, roosters crowing at 5am! Can't win! Staff speaks little english, not very helpful. Breakfast buffet by pool not good, pricey. Do have internet. Would not stay there again.

Rose Inn
99 Taina Rd, Kata Centre
It's hard to tell from the street that there are rooms somewhere in the back of this travel agency, but there are -- in two long rows facing a central walkway. The walkway is dirty, tired and at one end has a pile of rubbish that seems destined to stay there forever. Rooms are bearable for this... more
