すばらしかったです
２段ベット２つの共用バスの部屋に家族で２泊しましたが最高の滞在になりました。

機会があればまた利用させていただきたいと思います

Questions about Guesthouse Soi

What time is check-in and check-out at Guesthouse Soi?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Guesthouse Soi allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Guesthouse Soi have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Guesthouse Soi have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Guesthouse Soi?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Where is Guesthouse Soi?
