Isty Hotel

This is a good budget hotel with the location approximately 10-15 minute walk to the old town. There are some bbq restaurants in the vicinity and a few decent coffee places not far. Outside of the hotel you can hire an electric bike or normal bicycle as part of the city wide scheme. I loved the fact the hotel had a 24 hour drink area where you could get hot water , tea, juice, water and coffee. They also have a range of drinks to purchase. The pool is a decent size but just felt a bit dirty when I used it with drinks bottles surrounding it and fallen leaves that hadn't been cleaned, which I know probably can't be helped. The room itself was a decent size with a hard bed. We were on the ground floor so had no view (other than of a wall) and I had nowhere to dry my swimming clothes. Had I stayed in a room with a balcony my experience may have been different. We couldn't get the safe to work and the receptionist did come and check it and said the battery was low and they would sort the following day but no-one did. The layout of the bathroom means that everything gets wet easily. Our drain was blocked in the shower on the first day but then the cleaner sorted during the clean of the room. I found staff to be friendly. I wasn't expecting the 300 baht deposit for the keycard upon check in (which is cash only). You also only get one keycard per room. I generally don't have cash but seemingly had some change in my wallet. If you're after a quiet budget hotel for a few days then I think this is potentially a good fit for you.

Staffs are very great and lovely. But the room is not that perfect. The bed is hard, there are no face paper, and the room cleanliness is okay but could be better. The main disadvantage is the height of floor to ceiling is very short, it would make you crowded.
