The room was £25 per night which is more than fair but too be honest it still was awful. My biggest issue was cleanliness...the bathroom was disgusting to say the least. Everywhere you looked there were stains and the smell was unbearable. There was an electric box that hummed constantly and sounded like it was going to explode. Iv stayed in countless hostels all over the world and this place was worst than the bad ones. Staff were friendly but you get what you pay for I suppose....

It’s an amazing location and right next to a restaurant that rents mopeds. The Little Mermaid staff gave me space and didn’t talk to me much, which I prefer. The staff at the place next door were very helpful and the food was good. I only ate once at the guesthouse and it was a burger and it was the best bacon burger I had in Thailand. Kind of wish I tried more food there.

I had a room with a window, so I could open the window for light, but at night, the light in the room was very gloomy.

Room cleaning was good on the days it was done. I asked when my room would be cleaned one day and was told, “she’s not coming today”.

The water pressure was a drizzle and pretty annoying trying to get conditioner out of my hair.

But the location was great! My siblings and their families stayed up a massive hill. And the little mermaid, was a straight and almost flat walk to the beach!

Light was broken in room, furniture was extremely dated and in an instance held together with caution tape, mattress was broken, blankets and towels were dirty, no one working front desk, entire place smelt of smoke, sink didn’t function properly, the walls were clearly fake and just thrown together as I could see daylight through cracks and hear a birds nest above the bathroom. Pretty bad.

Cheap hotel inside of bar

For about $10 a night, don’t expect too much. Walk through a bar to get to the reception. The rooms are on the second floor. Shower and toilet share the same space. Less than 10 minute walk to Kata Beach. The room seemed clean enough for the price.

Amazing budget option

We stayed here for 4 nights and were really happy. The room was one of the cleanest we’ve stayed in throughout Thailand, and I don’t think we saw a single insect or ant once, which again is rare in Thailand. The room had good AC, good Wi-fi and a fridge as well as being a decent size. The location is also perfect, right in the heart of shops and restaurants and only a 10 minute stroll to the beach, but just off the Main Street so nice and quiet. Would certainly stay here again

False and deceitfully advertised

This hotel advertises that it has a pool and free parking. There is NO POOL! There are even photos of the pool which doesn't exist. Some of the other photos are not of the hotel either. My wife and I booked partly because we thought there was a pool. There is also no free parking or any parking at all unless you park on the street. Other than that the hotel's location is great, 5 minute walk to the beach and lots of places to eat and drink nearby. The rooms are small and scream to be renovated but seem to be good value for the money and location. The hotel also rents motor bikes but overcharges for them. Just walk 50 feet up the street or around the corner and you can rent cheaper. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed it, mostly because of the location, but if you book just beware some of the photos of the hotel are not of the same hotel and there is NO POOL.

Good for this price level

I'm happy with the stay, for this price (around 650b/night) as many other hotels in good areas for this price can be bad. But some things can be better like cleaning, no fans in the toilet = nothing dries, strange smell in the room, really old bed (still not that bad) and the pool is 5-10 min walk away.

Paradise Inn - Great Location

Room was comfortable and clean. Staff very nice and they spoke enough enough English so communication wasn’t a problem and they taught me a few words in Thai. The Internet was reliable and there anything wrong with the speed. The hotels serves good food at a very reasonable price and the relocation is great and next to 3 restaurant that provide live music. There are several night markets selling good food and misalliance items. Kata and Karon beach are within a 15 minute walking distance. The hotel rents motor scooters but be aware if you are planning to park in front of hotel you have to move the scooter from one side of the street to the other each night or receive a 500 Bhat parking ticket, I did.

Det hade varit bra att bli upplyst om att det börjar spelas väldigt hög musik kl.22.30 i restaurangen i anslutning till guesthouset, så att man själv kunde välja om det var värt att bo där då. Basen var så hög att det vibrerade i möblerna i rummet så man nästan trodde kylskåpet so stod på bänken skulle vibrera ner på golvet...
Annars var rummet till belåtenhet, stort rum, mycket möbler man kunde ha sitt bagage på och i. (Förutom att duschvattnet inte rinner undan, så att hela golvet blir fullt med vatten för att det är fel/ingen lutning på golvet i badrummet. Men så verkar det vara på de flesta ställen nan bor på i Thailand...)
Det kan också tilläggas att det inte fanns något påslakan på täcket, så vet inte hur många som använt det utan att det tvättats. Hade gärna velat haft ett lakan som alternativ till täcket, då det är för varmt att sova med täcke här, men nu fick jag istället använda en sarong och en handduk som täcke.

Omodernt hotell

Sängen var så hård att man behöver 5 massager efter för att slippa ha ont i kroppen vi sov 3 timmar sen hade vi så ont i kroppen, omodernt, vi hade bokat för 3 men ingen extra säng till barnet och i stora sängen var det bara bäddat för 2. Skåp luckan hade lossnat och låg i själva skåpet, rummet luktade fukt, och kylskåpet var smutsigt utanpå. Fanns bara trappor ingen hiss att tillgå så fick bära upp barnvagn och all packning är glad att vi bara bodde där 1 natt men i vårt tycke var det 1 natt för mycket Kommer inte bo där igen.

Как дома

Отличный бюджетный вариант проживания. Это реально очень дешево.
Ежедневная уборка присутствовала, воду в
номер давали каждый день. Кондиционер и холодильник морозят сильно. Места в номере достаточно. За время проживания ничего не пропало, хотя в сейф убирали не все и не всегда.
Из минусов - муравьи и пыль в углах. Нам это было это не принципиально, в номере только спали.
В первую ночь напротив номера шумела кафешка, в берушах этот вопрос был решен.

Helt ok för den pengen

Incheckningen var inte rolig. De tog 30-40 min innan dom hittade bokningen sedan skulle vi till ett annat hotell (finns ett guesthouse och ett resort, sår inget om de i bokningsbekräftelsen) och fick åka moped med stora resväskor! Inte alls proffsigt. Ingen info om va som hände osv. Väl framme fick vi fel rum och efter mycket om och men så fick vi rätt. Inchekningen ska bara funka smidigt efter en lååång resa!

Där efter var de fullt ok. Dock är de fläckar på typ alla sängkläder vilket vi inte trycker är trevlig. Ok att de är rent men ändå inte trevligt me bruna fläckar. Sängarna är horribla!! Fick ett extra täcke o lägga under lakanet men hjälpte inte mycket.

Personalen är super, möter och hjälper till med allt dom kan. Städat o fint varje dag, stort plus. Och inte att glöma, nytt vatten varje dag.

Helt ok nära till stranden ca 15-20min att gå. Ingen barnvänlig väg ena biten. Ligger vägg i vägg med en jätte stor matbutik, super då man har kyl på rummet.

Visst att det är ett budget hotell men har man stjärnor så har man en viss standard man ska följa!
