Really nice, clean hotel, run by very friendly staff. Airport pickup was well worth the money and it was very easy to book over the internet. more

Ended our 2 week vacation with 3 days at the Southern Fried Rice. Friend recommended this place to us and we will recommend it others. Rooms, food, atmosphere, everything is great. Had our last dinner at a "fancy" italian place and paid twice the price for about the same meal. Location is central but we were not bothered with noise... more

Wife and I stayed for 7 nights. Cheap and extremely good. Had a nice room that was cleaned everyday without fail. Located about 400m to northern entrance of kata beach.

Very very neat, classy interior, good food, convenient location, budget pricing, and friendly people. Simple, yet much more than the basic. cant compare it to any hotel cos it felt just like home. more

First let me say we didn't actually stay here - we stayed at the place next door (3rd St Inn & Cafe). However, we did spend a good deal of time here, and had most of our meals and drinks here. We spent a fair bit of time talking with the Norwegian owner, Terje, who lives here with his thai... more
