The lady at the reception really didn't care if I stayed or not, or if I ate food there or not, as long as there was quiet after 10 or 11pm and we paid our bills. I'm sure you will soon get the picture that this is not the most friendly of guesthouses.
But there were a few things going for it. First it is on an alleyway off the main drag so it's nice and quiet, but the room was a bit too small for comfort. The café/restaurant serves Thai and Western food, and they can get visas, Thai massage, and transport arranged for you. There's also a fish pond, lockers, and a pretty nice lounge (but no one ever used it).
I liked the area as it's away from Kho San Road and the nearby market was lively and pretty original with a lot of local people, probably what Kho San Road used to be like. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Kho San Road but there's no real need to go unless you want designer coffee and clothes.
There are three bunks in the dorm in a pretty tiny room. It's off a corridor on the ground floor and it's dark with no natural light coming in.
There was only one other guy in the dorm, a French man of mid 40s who spoke little English and was not terribly chatty. He seemed to hang around a bit in the day but we didn't talk much. It's not a place I would rush back to stay at.
