Aya Place

The rooms are clean, the lobby is pleasant, and the staff are friendly. For this location, I think it’s the best option, with a nice balance of price, comfort, and convenience.

The room was spacious and clean, and the air conditioning worked really well. Breakfast was included each day and cooked fresh, and the staff were great. I liked being near the market, beach, little shops, and restaurants instead of all the tourist stops. The shower setup was a bit awkward to use comfortably.

Really clean and nice, and the price was low too.

The staff were enthusiastic and very professional. There was a bit of confusion with our booking at check-in, but the manager sorted it out right away and gave us complimentary tea. One thing to know is that they ask for a 1,000 Baht cash deposit, even if you booked online with a credit card. It was returned at checkout. There’s no elevator, just stairs. A Family Mart is right next door, with a 7-eleven on the next block. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood, less than a 10-minute walk from the beach. It’s small and stylish, and the room was thoughtfully equipped with twin beds, a mini fridge, TV, kettle, AC, and strong WiFi. They also provided tea, instant coffee, sugar, powdered milk, and two bottles of water. The bathroom was clean, with an enclosed shower and a small window for ventilation. There was a little deck with no view, but it was a nice, peaceful place to sit in the warm air. The restaurant on the main floor serves breakfast for 150 Baht if it isn’t included, with American and Thai options, along with coffee and tea. The American breakfast had eggs, ham, a hotdog sausage, bacon, half a fried tomato, toast, jam, butter, and a choice of coffee or tea. It was quite good. They serve lunch and dinner too.
