The owners' focus at Down Town Guesthouse seems to be more on the travel agency than the accompanying guesthouse which is simply a handful of rooms above the shop. The rooms are clean but as minimal as it gets with just a fan, bed, and place to hang your clothes. The rooms share a common bathroom without hot water. Nevertheless, if you want to be close to the malls and the night market, this is as cheap as it gets. Long-term rates are available if you're planning to stay for a month or more.
