Baan Chaylay Karon

We were aware it would be a budget stay but this was way below expectations. Worn, discusting & dirty. We checked out after 5 minutes.

The hotel is set back a few streets from the main drag. Quiet and comfy get the room that opens up to the pool it is great to be a le to go from pool to room in less than 1 minute. Great location to the WED/SAT night market catch it just right you wont be dissapointed its walking distance to the Beach, shopping and the Temple. The guy at the desk was super nice and called to confirm our tour for us on his personal cell phone. We would stay here again.

Hotel was very dilapidated and in need of a refresh. The hotel room door had a hole in the bottom and was 'repaired' with a piece of paper. On the last night noticed ants coming in through the bathroom! Would not stay again and glad only stayed there two nights. Would not recommend. Only positive was the staff were helpful in arranging a taxi to Rassada pier.

Place was clean and close to everything.

This hotel is a gem. In Karon beach area which I prefer to the busy Patong beach. This place is owned by a nice Italian man. They were building at the time we were there. But I really didn't hear that much noise. They made sure they didn't start until 10am and finished by 3. We stayed here in September, during low season. It was also raining everyday for a short time. We paid $12 Canadian a night. For this cost I would stay here again for sure. But if the price goes up more then $20 a night, I would not. The room was big and ok. But the bed was the worst I have ever slept in. So hard, omg. The bathroom was awkward and had never properly been scrubbed. The caulking had turned black in areas that are always wet. The door had a 1.5 inch gap under it. Allowing bugs and lizards to get in. I rolled up a towel and put it there at night. We had pool access which was nice. A little place to sit with old plastic stained chairs. The pool needs a ton of work but still did the job to cool down and refresh. There is no room service but there is a great local restaurant directly in front of the hotel across the street. They will bring you anything right to your room. Check in and check out was easy. They let us choose what room we wanted. The area was great. Tucked behind the Karon Temple. There are local street food around and cafes. I loved the area. Prices were cheap! All in all, they are in the middle of renovating and for the price I would go back. As long as I pay around the same.
