The low-rate Goodview Hotel is a bargain! The staff was very friendly, helpful and reasonably skilled in English. The room was kept tidy everyday, a bit small for a family (but extra room for the children would not destroy your budget). The room rent included open table breakfast (meals changing daily), clean beach towels, water bottles and scheduled free transfer to the market place twice a day. We walked, since the hotel is located only 1,5 km from the market and less to the beach. The railway passes through nearby, but the noice was easily adaptable. Also a close-by karaoke bar had late hour shows sometimes, did not bother us, especially since we have experienced that more frequently in high-grade hotels, too. Comparing to our previous visits in 5-star hotels in Thailand, our two-week stay at Goodview beats many of them, leaving more money to spend in markets.
