It was near to the market and beach but the main problem is you can’t sleep at night due to high music sounds down the clubs and bars of walking street.
This hotel is definitely in the heart of the action and NOT for children. Hotel laundry is excellent and the staff is friendly and generally helpful. I did see a roach on occasion but you probably shouldn't be in Thailand if you're afraid of bugs. Hotel safe is there but not secure as the front desk has a key.
