Apartments in Chumphon

"If I could get this room for 50-100 baht cheaper, it'd be just right! We're backpackers touring SE-Asia on a budget for the past 6 months. Chumporn being a rather non-touristy city, we were expecting and hoping to find some much cheaper accommodation. That said, we were still satisfied with the actual hotel room. Very spacious and clean AC room with wooden furniture in good shape, fridge, warm shower, writing desk, clothes closet and Thai TV (no satellite channels though, so forget English programmes). There was also a balcony, but it was tiny and a bit grimy, so suited for smoking only, not for lounging. In the hall, a (free) drinking water dispenser is at your disposal! Because we stayed for 3 nights, we were also allowed to check in at 5 in the morning, when the night ferry from Koh Tao docked. This must be arranged in advanced. I don't think early check-in is an option for one-nighters! Beware that there's never anyone at the reception. However, the same owners run the electronics shop on the other side of the wall, so you can get their attention simply by popping by there, or by calling. In the evening, food stalls (selling OK pad thai) and other cheap stands sprawl up along the road just out the door. Can be a little noisy - an annoying ad truck with megaphones woke us up every morning as it passed by. The tourist information is on the same street, at the end of the road towards the railway station. Curiously, they too don't speak English, which is a little counter-productive."

"Don’t hesitate, excellent value for money, all brand new rooms and clean. Best place we stayed in for the money by far. Only issue is the reception could be manned at all times, but it’s not. "
