It is just out side of old city, but it's close enough to walk around the city and night bazaar. (It is pretty much at site for the Saturday night market if you stay there on Saturday) The reception girl was very friendly. The bed was on the hard side, which is a pretty common problem in Thailand. You can hear some noise outside from the hallway, but not too bad. Not bad shower (good enough water pressure with nice hot temperature). If you are looking for a cheap but decent place, this place will provide you what you need. If you need a soft bed, then I'd look at other places.
