Nuy was a exceptional host, she's hard working and so kind. I felt right at home at the Donchai guesthouse. Make sure to take advantage of the cafe, Nuy runs and cooks it all herself and she's a great cook! The Tom Ka Gai was one of the best I've had in Thailand!! There is also a beautiful temple around the corner which is really peaceful with next to no tourists.

Very kind owner - clean room and a nice hangout area downstairs. Water and other basic amenities provided. Owner stayed up a little late to welcome me. Quiet and calm area.

We loved our stay here. Big rooms, big comfortable bed and Nuy is the best host. If you need something, she can help you. She also runs a Cafe, where she serves the best Cappuccino in town and delicious food. We liked to stay a bit outside of the city since it is more quiet and the Appartement offers everything you need. We did lots of hiking and strolled through the city - everything is easy reachable with motorbike or grab.

“Best Host!”
A small and peaceful guesthouse with the most caring host. Nuy will look after you. She will make sure you’re fed and have everything you need. I had a bit of a cough the one day and she offered me some medication. She also had some great suggestions for things to see and do. The room itself was wonderfully comfortable. You can rent a bike from the property for a good rate and it’s not far to get to places. I would absolutely stay there again!

“Heartful place”
I really liked the owners, their sincere and warm attitude. Nuy is always ready to help or advise something. If you need to go to the store, she will give you her bicycle for free. If you need laundry, it is available for a nominal fee. It will be brought to your room afterwards, and should you wish, a cup of coffee as well. I was here during Christmas and New Year, so Nuy celebrated these holidays in the company of family and friends, and both times invited me to join. I happily joined and ended up having a good time and getting fed for free :) Here I felt something that I had probably never felt in a hotel - care and home comfort.

I had a great and memorable stay at this hotel. The owner is the nicest and most caring lady that I have ever met. She made sure that I got everything I needed for a great stay. Thanks to her, I felt at home. My room was spacious and newly renovated; it had a balcony, AC, and all the necessary amenities. The nights were quiet, so I slept really well. Hotel location is on the southern side, but city centre is easily reachable by grab or scooter, which you can rent on the property for a cheaper price! You can eat at the hotel cafe, or there is a 7/11 and food stalls within a 5-minute walk. You also can do laundry on the spot. I would recommend for short and longer stays as the price/quality ratio is 10 out of 10. I ended up extending my stay for a longer time. If I have a chance, I will definitely come back. Thank you.

The owner of the hotel is an incredibly helpful person. The living conditions at the hotel are very good. The only minus is the dust from the road, which pollutes the balcony and the furniture on the balcony.
