We stayed here two nights based upon Lonely Planet citing it as perhaps the best option in Lampang.
The place is located on the river.
It’s a true guesthouse. The owners live on the premises. You rent a room in place that has been divided up into multiple rooms. They offer food at an on-site restaurant.
There were several foreigners staying here.
We got a small room with air conditioning and a double bed, but no fridge, for 600 baht a night. The next day, they moved us to another room to make space for an incoming reservation, tried initially to charge a higher rate, and then stuck with the initial rate after I balked.
Good things about this place:
– It’s clean.
– The rooms aren’t stupid expensive.
Bad things about this place…
– There’s almost no soundproofing – you get to hear everything in the compound.
– While the price for the room itself is OK, the hotel will kill you on extras. For example: 30 baht for a small cup of coffee and no free refills, breakfast not included and it cost us 240 baht for a crappy breakfast with two cups of coffee each, 25 baht for a small bottle of water that is 5 to 10 baht in town, 45 baht for a small can of Singha beer (a restaurant price that is double the store price).
So, if you stay here, do not partake of anything other than the room. Fortunately, there is a great restaurant nearby, Aroy One Baht. Dinner with beer costs less at Aroy Baht One than a crappy breakfast costs at the hotel.
