That's why I recommended this place, because it is a lot more like the Hampton Inn than the backpacker ghetto places. It seems like a lot of the budget ones, they have quit cleaning the toilets. It used to not be that way.

Not sure what the attractions near the bus station would be. It is a promo how long will it last and then what is the price going to be, How big are the rooms. 20 square meters? Standard.

A little less, I would say more like 17 sm. There is some good stuff by, but it is clearly not near the backpacker ghetto. Here is the dive I am staying in now. Cost me 15.03 USD per nigh inc.. I can't believe there aren't any mints by the bath tub, and there was a footprint on the slate tile floor, the flowers on the private walled patio are actually fake. Can you believe it? Life is tough being on a budget. I'm sure none of the TV posters are on a budget like mine, except for maybe the teachers, the people staying longer than two weeks, the people who have kids, the pensioners....hardly anyone.

We'll then, how much do you have to pay for a room that meets your standards, and where? 7 Days Hotel is given 3 stars by Agoda. Typical TV response, lots of objections; no alternatives.

Here is a great alternative.

http://www.tapaeplacehotel.com/

Rooms out of season, 590 baht per night, includes, aircon, cable TV, bath, room service, wi-fi.

It`s a 3 star hotel right near the Tapae Gate, close to everything. Clean, safe and a hotel you would not be ashamed to invite your guests or recommend to anyone.

Have to agree. Stayed there several times Blether. Good place for the price but the WiFi keeps goin down all the time and the breakfast is pretty lame but all in all, a good deal in a great location.

Agoda reviewers give it a 7,2, while giving 7 Days a 7.9; for about 20% less. Does appear to be closer to the circus pants crowd, though.

So that does not look like the photos of the 7 days Inn ... a name would be helpful, and is that the walk in rate you paid?

5555555555....... when I come from Lampang to do my 90 day I usually stay the night visit old mates from when i lived in Chiang mai and have a few (too many) beers. I stay at my Brother and Sister in-law's run Guest House, 150 baht a night (family rate, reg price 200 baht) don't think I'll be running to anyone on this thread there.laugh.png.pagespeed.ce.SDkxrRteka.png

Well to some one looking for an under 500 baht a night I suspect the extra 90 baht a night would be excessive. That is a 20% increase. Would you like all your costs to go up 20%?

Most flaunt the safety regulations, can be fire traps and have sub standard sanitary conditions.

You stay at these places at your own discretion.

Yes, better pay more and get to stay at something like the Downtown Inn. Paying more really buys you safety in this country.

I wonder, do you own one of these crap doss houses?

Some of these cheap guesthouses have rooms above the ground floor that have no windows and no doors or windows in the above ground floor hallways leading to the rooms. The only means of escape is down a set of stairs and the only fire precautions these guesthouses use, are no smoking signs placed in the rooms and in the hallways, which they believe covers them legally.

As regards the tragedy of the Down Town inn, there are no guarantees of absolutely safety wherever we stay, in any country, unless you get a tip off from God, but I do like to edge my bets and aim for what I consider is the safest options whenever possible.

As I said; it`s up to your own discretion and if you believe that extra caution is not warranted if considering staying at a cheap guesthouse or doss house, than at an proper established hotel or motel, then good luck to all who sail in her.

I try to aim at the newest built hotels, as they are usually cleaner and have newer aircons, fridges and TVs and we all know how well everything is maintained here. A lot of times they have discounts to bring in guests.
