A lovely boutique hotel quite close to the old part of the city and in walking distance of Khao San Road. It is run by a mother and son team who are welcoming and attentive. Together they have created an oasis of calm in this hot, frenetic city.
The rooms are beautiful and themed. We stayed in the lemongrass room, which had furniture made from reclaimed wood. The hotel even has a green policy.
The homemade breakfasts include Thai porridge and the most amazing array of fresh fruit you can imagine.
Room prices are good compared to bigger hotels and breakfast and all refreshments are included.
On our last night, Joey (the son) even gave us a lift to his favourite restaurant where we had an amazing meal.
