Small well located hotel near the smaller night life scene of Hua Hin. Walking distance to the beach which is very clean and pretty quiet. Has a small pool as well, which was not crowded. I would stay again. Excellent for the price.

Great location but the hotel needs refurbishment. I have been coming to this hotel for the last Six years and in this time I’ve just seen the hotel becoming more deteriorated which is a shame as Soi 96 is the place to go

Decent value
Stayed here for a week recently on a golfing trip. The location on Soi 94 is excellent - plenty of restaurants, bars, laundries etc nearby. Town centre is a 5 minute baht bus ride and beach is a 10/15 minute walk. The railway line is about 50 yards away from the hotel so it can be noisy when the trains go past. Rooms are a decent size with good storage space, comfortable bed and small balcony. As with many Thai hotels in this price range, there is a shortage of power points. Other reviews have mentioned dirty pool water and broken loungers but this wasn't the case during my stay. There was also drinking water and free coffee available in the reception area. Staff were all very pleasant. I had a problem with the air conditioning which was sorted out immediately. Decent value for money but plenty of competition on Soi 94.

Soi 94 is a good location, but hotel near railway.
Generally a good economy hotel. Can be noisy - trains sound as though they are passing thro' your room! The hotel offers a buffet breakfast which isn't in the hotel, but a little ways up the Soi, across the railway tracks on the opposite side of the street. The food is very second rate, I would not recommend that option.

Service is very important.
Bad impression: room was not ready to service for customer even though we had waited for 2 hours before checked in. Staffs were not friendly,they didn't interest in helping to new customers,just gave the key and let customers found the room by ourselve and the way to the room was very dark, The way to elevator bad smell from gabage Noisy from trains especially in the night. Good conditions:the price is cheaper than many places include breakfast and also there is a swimming pool,

Terrible Hotel
Terrible place to stay. Could not sleep because of the noise from the trains all night. The bedrooms should be renovated and a good clean would not go amiss. No safe in the room. Breakfast was horrible. We ate elsewhere after the first morning and cut our stay short by 3 days as we could not bear it any longer.

Great value but noisy train. If you are a slight sleeper, don't stay here. Sink and shower drainage has no U trap as such, odour from sewage pipe can leak into bathroom. Breakfast is OK but for the price, I rate the hotel of very good value.

Lovely Hotel
Check in easy and efficient. Room good size and very clean with small balcony overlooking the pool. Lovely swimming pool just nice size for a few lengths to cool off. Downside: breakfast was only OK. A bit far out from nightlife, but easy to catch cheap transport at the end of the road. Still some bars and restaurants very close by. Overall would return myself and recommend to others.

Good for the Price
This is a reasonable hotel which is fine for a short stay bearing in mind that it's very cheap. The rooms are fairly basic but a good size and there is a nice, but small, swimming pool. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the beach, but a long walk from the town centre. During the day and until everything nearby closes at around midnight the area is noisy, but after that quiet unless a train is passing. Soi 94 is busy, and there are several bars and restaurants a few metres away.

Not really what was expected.
What the website reflects is not what you get. The Hotel is situated right next to a railway crossing and the trains run 24/7 . Air horns go through out the day and night, I called to check with Hotels.com prior to find out about the noise level problem and was told there is no noise. The rooms are okay , but it takes a whole day for them to make up the rooms. The pictures on the site make the rooms seem bigger and better. Breakfast - not good at all, don't bother getting it . Reception was generally friendly , but the night reception can only help you with anything "tomorrow" . Guess I won't be back "tomorrow"

Enjoyed it so much, Nice Room, Staff, and Location
The price was great for the quality of the room, and I loved the location. It was a 10 minute walk and we were right on the beach. We had a delicious breakfast buffet at Pier 94 Restaurant (on the main corner from there, 3 min walk). The staff at Narayan was very friendly as well, and took pics with us. Also its about a 25 minute ride to Hua Hin Safari, an awesome Animal Adventure Park with Elephants, Camels, Sloth, and Aligators and more. We rode an Elephant there. The park is a little pricey but worth it in the end. Will never forget my experience at Narawan and also in Hua Hin :)

Value for money
Stayed for two weeks and found that the hotel was certainly worth the money paid. It was clear however why the Hotel was cheap as the location is not the best tough by next year may have improved. Although we had been forewarned about the closeness of the railway tracks and the sound of warning horns with every passing train day or night we were surprised as to how much building work was going on around the Hotel. We were disappointed with the reception staff however as during our stay they made little effort to communicate or even so much as acknowledge our presence. The claning staff however were always friendly and ready with a cheery good morning and a smile. The breakfast could have been much better the tea and coffee was quite awful and often the fried eggs ,sausage and weird rubber sliced stuff were cold.The sight and taste of cold fried egg with accompanying surface of congaled fat resulted in us often bypassing this meal. The nearest beach was only 800 yds away but we found a better beach at Khao Takiab which could be reached by local bus which basically picked up anywhere en route in our case across the road from the end of soi94. cost 10 bht each any distance. It did be warned pick up anyone which did result in very full passenger loads.We on one occasion counted 27 persons on a vehicle with ten seats. Tuk Tuks are plentiful but can be expensive always agree cost with driver before boarding. Nearest nightlife is Hua Hin a fair distance off. Again a local bus which can be stopped outside the hotel will get you into town but later a tuk tuk will be needed for the return. Hotel swimming pool really clean and we saw every day that it was checked and cleaned properly. Overall for the cost this was good value for money but no doubt when the building work is finished the charges will increase and at this point the general staff attitude will need to improve. If the train crossing was gated it would also stop the need for the sound of horns. So yes good place to stay on a budget.

This is by far the dirtiest, noisiest, and most unpleasant place we have ever stayed in. The cups from the previous occupants were left dirty for us, and we were kept awake all night by either trains or the stench from our bathroom. This is the worst review I have ever written because I understand as a frequent traveller that some things are beyond the control of proprieters. However in the case of this hotel it's management and maintenance leaves a lot to be desired. On a positive note, the general staff were helpful and lovely people.

Nearly perfect, but..
This small hotel fits all your needs. Spaceious rooms, clean, everything worked good. Breakfast buffet with a good choice of clean and fresh food. A pool big enough for children to play around. Very good value for that money. Nice and helpful stuff. Nearby are shops and restaurants and laundreys. About 1 Km to railway station and 500 meters to south bus station. But - it is very close to the railway. You hear the trains day and night. If you are sensitive for noise, it is not the right place. But Thailand is noisy nearly everywhere so I feld very comfortable there.
