GROSSE LACUNE

Une fois de plus, comme à chaque année, et souvent même, plus de une fois, arrivé à mon hotel deja payer sur le site, la reception n'a jamais reçu ma reservation , donc j ai payé une chambre pour 8 nuits, et là, on me dit que je n ai pas de chambre ici, je fais alors voir mon numero de reservation et comme quoi ma chambre est deja payée, bref, encore une grosse lacune d'HOTEL.COM. suivie d'un grosse colère . HOTEL.COM doit vraiment faire de quoi pour améliorer ces désagréments avant que les clients comme moi changent de site.

Okay place

You get exactly what you paid for. I mean it’s cheap and not nice. Plus you hear planes landing and taking off all the time, it’s because the whole area does. The staff is nice and helping. I didn’t leave this place with any regret or annoyance.

Только переночевать

Мы выбрали этот гест хаус из-за отличного расположения и не прогадали - все развлечения чавенга под рукой! До пляжа идти три минуты через другой отель. В комнате только кровать и вешалка. Если вам нужно только где-то спать и хранить рюкзак с вещами, то это место подойдет. Жить тут полноценно, конечно, совсем не удобно.

Don't chose Chewang area!!!

When I arrive to the hotel one of the receptionists gave me a room without a locker so anyone could enter there and on top of that of the floor I found dead cockroach so I wen back to the reception asking for a different room so she got angry with me giving me an attitude and I had to pay 200 bats for a better room! Disappointed about the room and the area in general!!! Looked very spoiled and dirty area! You couldn't walk on the street without being stop!

Squalid

I'm not the type of person who complains about cheap places. I know what I'm paying for, but, in the case of Green Guest House, I need to tell you that I had to just cut my loses and go somewhere else. Normally, I would look past the soiled sheet and the hairs and bodily fluids and just sleep with my clothes on, but it would've been too warm in the rooms for this. There was also this pervasive sewage smell and, yeah, I know at this price I can't expect the Ritz, but the smell was so strong, especially without much ventilation, it was hard not to gag on it. For another hundred baht you can find a much more comfortable place. Unless your just looking for a bed to pass out in, I would strongly consider avoiding this place.

Posizione non male

Stanza buia, aria condizionata rumorosissima impediva di dormire, materasso con molle rotte sembrava di dormire su un letto di chiodi
