Pros: super cheap; great location with easy access to beach, train station, night market; incredibly sweet u0026 friendly staff; super-quiet clientele.
Cons: worst, saggiest, most backache-inducing bed I've ever encountered --truly, you will feel 15 years older than your actual age after sleeping on this thing; art/decor that strives for kitchsy but is frankly racist and unsettling; weird room setup where you can neither open a window for fresh air or natural light, but also can't cover the windows letting in the bright light from the hallway, aimed right at the pillow where you're resting your head trying to sleep. Oh, and it's also mysteriously full of mosquitoes, despite the inability to open a window, so we had to wear bug spray to bed. And the sink is clogged, so it piddles on your feet anytime you go to wash your hands.
All in all, we were grateful to find a place for the night, because everything else was booked solid, but you couldn't pay me to go there again.
Also! If sex tourists squick you out, be warned that it's in the heart of massage parlour land, and the creepy old men roam in pairs, ogling anyone under the age of 25. (Then again, if sex tourism squicks you out, maybe don't go to Hua Hin in the first place.)
