Sala Thongyon - Guest House

My friend recommended me to stay here

Everything is okay for me but make sure you have the spray to protect you from the mosquitoes.

The place itself, the owner, and the staff.

Nothing

The Guest houses are very cool in a tropical vibe. Air con was nice and cold, bed was comfy and facilities were good. Staff were very helpful and friends. There is also breakfast included!! Very close walk and bike to the river.

You cannot not like Mama Sala…and she cooks a mean omelette. But the photos shown here promoting this property on Booking.com, are not anywhere close to reality. You see, it is under a large construction project at the moment and the grounds have been painfully neglected. And that’s just the beginning. The “Bungalows” are actually very small bunker/sheds, no closet, no fridge, no flatscreen, nor nightstand…just enough room for 1 person to navigate the room. The bed is laminated in plastic and”crunches” with each movement and it is just not soft, it is the most uncomfortable and hardest mattress I have laid upon…ever. Construction begins at around 7:30 and continues all day. Until the dust settles this is not a relaxing, quiet place to rest your weary traveling soul.

Although the breakfast was nice, it is served on a concrete driveway, void of any charm or atmosphere,…perhaps a few potted palms to create ambiance. And in the “bunker/shed” rooms,it would be fantastic to have comp shampoo/body wash.
