Karon Living Room

For budget accommodation, it has some useful things: there's a cafe downstairs, laundry, and the beach is a manageable 15-minute walk. But both rooms I booked were beside the road and noisy with traffic all night. The bed was very hard, like the base of a two-mattress setup, and customer service felt absent and unwelcoming. I cut my two-room booking short by five days, lost the money for those nights and moved to another hotel. Still, it's an option if you're looking for a budget stay. Best of luck to the hotel, and thanks for the shortened stay. 🙏

The main road noise is horrendous, so bring earplugs if you want to sleep. Bathrooms also had a strong urine or drain smell, so make sure to flush after every use. The rooms are a bit rundown and the facilities basic, making it feel more like a B&B than a hotel. On the plus side, it's a good budget choice: rooms are large, staff are polite and friendly, and you can take towels and mats to the beach. The cafe downstairs is convenient and makes good coffee. There are water dispensers on each floor, self-service laundry next door, and two nearby massage parlors that are legit, one next to the hotel and one across the road.

A big room, comfy beds and good air conditioning, with kind staff and a lovely cafe downstairs. Great location and a really good price. I loved staying here!

We had a great two-night stay with family, and there are good restaurants nearby. The bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan or outlet, though, so it got smelly.
