Does anyone know any guesthouse here for $5?

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started!

O.K. Guesthouse on street 258 has/had private fan rooms with bathroom for $6 earlier this year. They still might.

Wi-Fi varies per room.

Probably too late, but i distinctly remember the Skypark hotel having a really nice single for like $6, and also a similar hotel like 150 metres along the same road it's on having like $4 rooms. That was a few years ago, so i suppose it's all changed. But i doubt it's changed that much. A few blocks down is the budget capitol tour guesthouse. These hotels are kinda all in walking distance with each other.

You can rent a bicycle and cycle to the sights easily from here. Russian market, central market, S21 all pretty near. Excellent cheap chinese type restaurants, and dim sum Cafe's too.

Not a joke exactly but did you know that an anagram of dormitory, is "dirty room".

You're not being specific, you are asking too much. You pay peanuts, you'll get a hovel. And you'll have dip-shits like SnookyBOY hanging around telling you how you can get a banana pancake on the coast for tuppence.

You won't find one with a safe for that price, for sure.

I've always thought they were a good bargain and the family running it is so nice! Would recommend.

you need to go to agoda and sort by price ascending.
there are good rates available.
but you have to book online to get the best rates.
