“Beautiful and Relaxing Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I had 3 nights here in one of the two upper floor rooms. Huge room with separate sitting room area, fridge, tv and effective a/c. Balcony area outside with lovely views over the Nam Khan river. Great for an early morning or evening drink.
There was a slight mix-up on arrival as they didn't seem to have my booking, but a quick call to the boss seemed to sort this out. Based on this and my smooth check out and their generally friendly manner, the staff were great.
Location was perfect. Close to but away from the hustle and bustle of the main street. Nice cafes, restaurants and bars a short walk in all directions.

Wouldn't hesitate to stay here and again and would recommend to others.

“Nice little hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We had a very spacious room on the upper floor. It felt very clean, and the staff was friendly. I liked the location - it was easy to walk to the street market, the river, and around town. We went on a three-day village trek (through Tiger Trails - also recommended) while Sopha House kept our bags, and we came back and stayed in the same room for a couple more nights upon our return. We had some geckos in our room, but that's true of a number of the places we stayed in on our trip, and I like geckos, so it didn't bother me (they do chirp and leave little mouse-like poops, though!).

Room Tip: We enjoyed our room on the upper floor.

“Quiet and comfortable with a beautiful view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011

My friends and I spent six nights at Sopha House, occupying both of the second-floor rooms. From the moment we were greeted on arrival by the ever-smiling Mr. Thong we found Sopha House delightful -- conveniently situated with a gorgeous view over the Nam Khan, quiet, comfortable, and thoroughly charming. I should note that the room charge doesn't include breakfast, but there are numerous cafes within easy walking distance. The main tourist street is a block away, and many of the major wats are nearby, but heavy foot traffic is absent from Sopha House's immediate surroundings. I would definitely stay there again -- and I hope to do so.

Room Tip: I'd recommend the second floor for the view.

“Beautiful Location and Helpful Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

We had booked this hotel for a few nights and ended up staying for a week! We loved the location and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Our room was comfortable and all rooms had a view of the river - directly across the street from the hotel. I would definitely stay here again . . . and hope to!

Room Tip: Upstairs rooms are worth the extra cost.
