If you can ignore the characterless and somewhat noisy location, rooms
here a good deal. Many have lots of space, basic kitchenettes and large fridges - great for
those who want to make themselves at home.

This rather institutional-feeling guesthouse is a wise choice for families on
a budget, as some rooms have as many as five beds and there's a 2nd-floor children's play

Off busy Th Surawong, this classy boutique hotel
