Visitor Reviews
Great place to rest from busy central area and yet accessible, about 12 minutes walk from Walking street. Bungalows are simple and clean. Family business and no complications. Good value for money. They have a shared kitchen well organized and equipped for simple meals.
Loved staying here, they treat you like home and you will be pleasantly surprised at the community room. The location is super cool because the road leads to a short cut back to center Pai. Restaurants on the block are delicious and you have two coffee houses to pick from. One 6 floors up and the other, a whole wall of the building is gone to reveal the mountain side view. Enjoy!!
Cute bungalow with own bathroom with hot shower. Clean, cozy mattress and pillow (very new) is bit hard for my liking (getting used to it) I still had a good sleep because it is so quiet in the night. A 10 minute walk to the center. Owner is very helpful. There is a water kettle and free coffee and bananas. Good value for money. I would go back.
