Great facilities but not the cleanest
Great pool and loungers. A mouldy bathroom (would come off with a wipe). We requested for fresh bedding as my friends sheets were dirty - they put the same sheets back on the bed - twice ! Changed room to a visibly cleaner one but difficult to trust the cleanliness after that. Luckily we’re not too precious and still enjoyed ourselves, we had 4 nights booked. Restaurant and bar on site. Music finished at reasonable time ! Wouldn’t do laundry there but i hand washed a few items and hung on balcony, staff didn’t mind. Pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff.

The man at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming on arrival and every time I saw him going in and out of the guesthouse. Due to covid the guesthouse wasn't fully open so was very quiet and had more limited services than usual e.g. no airport shuttle, wifi only near reception. The room was quite basic and a little dated, but had everything I needed for the short time I stayed there. Bathroom seemed as though it needed a deep clean. The location is good with lots of restaurants to eat at within about 10 minutes walking distance. They are hoping to be fully back up and running around October 2020.

Great location, good value, a little dated
The reception staff were great, really helpful. The hotel is well situated, close to the night bazaar, the street market and the main town. The room was a bit dated, but spotlessly clean. The shower was aesthetically deceptive as it worked admirably.

Initially, we were given a nice newer room, but unfortunately we found it a bit too noisy (not sure if there is bar or there was a big party happening). The staff was very polite and accommodating, they offered us a room change. They showed us the room first to which we happily agreed. It was not as nice as the first room, but we were very happy with the change.

Nice room with AC and access to the pool. Very close to Old City. The food in the restaurant was good and not like the overly bland tourist food that is sometimes served in tourist areas—I had Tom Yum soup that was spicy and delicious :)

To be fair we were only there one night. The welcome was Luke warm to say the least the hotel is very dated and the rooms were not very clean.
It is in a good location and it is cheap.

The property is well located and kept very clean. The problem is this building is at least 50 years old. In Thailand usually they have budget to build something but they don't have a budget to maintain it. Clean room good service but no shower curtain and and the faucet in the bathroom needs to be tightened. No place to plug in your electronics unless you unplug the TV. I can live with this but my girl friend is making us move to a new place.

lai Thai guest house
I have stayed many times at the lai Thai guesthouse and this time was very different,. the aesthetic changes they have made around the pool and the entrance really has amplified its spaciousness...well done....rooms still the same, because of the wooden matting on the walls seem to make the rooms smaller and darker....you never know, one day that might happen...staff are always excellent...will help you if you ask them.

12 Nov 2018
This place was absolutely horrible. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude when checking in. She scanned my passport and did not give it back to me. Instead of walking upstairs to my room she simply left it at the desk. I was freaking out trying to find it and was shocked when the front desk had it. I even stopped by the front desk twice to use my safety deposit box and nothing was mentioned. The beds were uncomfortable I had terrible sleep and the AC did not work that well. The stairs were rickety and the room was dirty. I realize that it’s a cheap place but I’ve stayed in many hostels for that price that were much nicer. The last thing my partner saw before checking out was the cops arriving. Don’t stay here

Good value for the price.
The staff can be stand-off-ish at times but are overall OK. The rooms are clean but nothing special (decor, beds comfort etc). It is nice to have the ability to control the AC. At night there can be many mosquitoes, possibly due to the pool. The poolside area could use some shade, and perhaps people would use it more. Very accessible location.

good location disappointing service
The pool was nice. maybe had too much chlorine in it but was clean and looked nice. The room however was dated, dim and wasn't extremely clean. not a lot of light and the air con was really noisy. The room needed a deep clean and had rubbish left over from the people before. it was fine for a couple of nights but wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer. The staff were relatively unfriendly and not very helpful. when asking to print a ticket we were told to find somewhere and they couldn't tell us where one was which was disappointing and slightly stressful trying to find somewhere. overall without the pool I wouldn't have wanted to stay here.

Nice hotel on the edge of old city
This hotel was good for the price. The shared bathrooms were clean. There were jugs of drinking water which was nice.
The pool had limited hours 8am -9pm. We couldn't control the room's air conditioning, it was either really cold or really hot.

bugs, bugs, bugs
Because of the pool, we got an average of 3-5 bugs in our room everytime we opened our door (we were right next to the pool, ground floor). The beds also had crumbs of some sort all over it, I am assuming they didn't change the sheets. The pool itself was nice to be in after a long day, so that was really the only upside to this place. We decided to eat breakfast here most days (3 day stay) and it was fine. If you don't mind oily stuff, the fried pork and toast is actually really good once you get past the clogged artery taste.
I would have liked to be in one of the side streets, but being on the main road made it very easy for tour pick-ups.
I would book closer to the Sunday night market if I come back again (the best market). There are plenty of cheap and clean stays that the pool doesn't make it work it.
