I was there 3 weeks ago. Got into town from Bangkok at 9 PM expecting to get some dinner and maybe a room and was shocked to find the gates closed and locked with no one there at all. Had to stay across the street at the Sri Chumphon, which is a dump with moldy bathrooms. Went to Koh Tao the next day using Lompraya, had to pay additional 500 baht for me and my daughter to get a ride to the Lompraya pier 30 km away. Used Fame tour when I came back to the mainland a week later on the nightboat as they provide a transfer from the port to Chumphon and then van to BKK and the driver of the transfer van was absolutely terrible. He had no information to help us out and nobody knew anything and we were all confused as to where he was taking us. I think next time I will just book a ticket with Lompraya in BKK and avoid Chumphon and Fame altogether. Too much hassle and it costs more $ in the long run. The one thing I did like was the nightboat though. I got a great nights rest on it and would do that again.
(Translated by Google) Good service, ok room, fan works. But the private bathroom water flow is very weak.

For 250 baht a night, you get exactly what you pay for in accommodation, and so much more in travel services and general local knowledge and friendliness. The rooms themselves are pretty barbones, and the windows are open to one of the busiest streets in town, which means that if you're a light sleeper you won't get much rest unless you invest in some earplugs. The bathrooms are very authentic Thai, with one bathroom including a bucket shower and squat potty and the other a wall mounted shower heater and more traditional toilet with bucket flushing. Truly, you get what you pay for, and you pay an extremely affordable and reasonable amount. I highly recommend this place for the budget-minded and adventure seekers looking to live in the heart of the city.
Very good location, inexpensive, good behaviour, caring staff.
Big room size but few furnitures.
(Translated by Google) Safe reservation Booking.com arrived on site the door was closed... I had to take it to the hotel right next door.... to avoid

Solitary confinement has better facilities...... Though the Geckos as maintenance staff was refreshing. 😅
A basic double room suited me fine for a few nights. No more expensive than normal bunk room bed. Right in town and near food stalls.
(Translated by Google) Room ok cafe breakfast beer too expensive

Chambre correct cafe petit-déjeuner bière trop chère
Simple, close to everything. They also have tickets and pick up to the islands.
Great place for the price. Not fancy, very simple but does the job for one night ! The room was clean.
Great location, close to the train station, restaurants and food markets 👍
We came very late to Chumphon, missed night ferry to Koh Tao and didn't have place to stay. Very helpful owner offered us room with the fan for very low price. Room was a little bits scary at the first place but it's turned up to be clean (without any insects or scary creatures). This is good option to stay and catch morning ferry since it's above travel agency organising transport to Koh Tao.
Paid 250 Baht for a room with ventilator for one night. Overall it was ok, good location, nice people and everything was clean.
BUT the room had no window so I heard the traffic and everything going on in the streets like i was sleeping on the road. I could merely sleep for two hours because of trucks and motorbikes going full power all night...
(Translated by Google) The super comfortable bed. We had a room with an outside bathroom and a fan. The bathroom is small but everything is fine. We only paid 250 thn for two people.

La cama súper cómoda. Tuvimos habitación con baño afuera y ventilador. El baño pequeño pero todo bien. Solo pagamos 250 thn por dos personas.
(Translated by Google) For your money, it will do for one night. Room with fan and double bed - 200 baht. There is also a room with two mattresses on the floor - 150 baht. And the third number is more decent and more expensive. Internet is normal. There is no bed linen. What is does not change. It's better to have your own underwear. The glass in the window is made like a blind, with an old mesh on the outside. It’s better to open them, otherwise it’s very stuffy. There is a shared toilet and shower on the same floor, quite cramped. There are no insects. For unassuming backpackers. The entrance to the guesthouse itself is on the corner with another street, not where the reception is.

За свои деньги - на одну ночь сойдет. Номер с вентилятором и двуспальной кроватью - 200 бат. Еще есть номер с двумя матрасами на полу - 150 бат. И третий номер поприличнее и подороже. Интернет нормальный. Постельного белья нет. То что есть - не меняется. Лучше иметь свое белье. Стекла в окне сделаны по типу жалюзи, снаружи старая сетка. Лучше их открывать, иначе очень душно. Туалет с душем общий, на том же этаже, довольно тесный. Насекомых нет. Для непритязательных бэкпекеров. Сам вход в гестхауз на углу с другой улицей, не там где ресепшн.
Room was good value for money although I'm unsure about the bathroom having the top half of the wall removed. The birds can fly into the bathroom from outside which is a tad worrying. It also made me question privacy, I showered at night so could I be seen?. That aside its the best place to do a visa run from. The cost is 1,400 baht but that includes travel to and from the pier in Ranong and takes away all the hassle of organising it yourself. The cost of food is over priced for what it is but good rooms for an overnight stay
