I have been staying there by twice in 3 years and the hotel have been more popular thought. Most of the staff there are from Burma and they are working with their excellent effort. The room is clean and huge. The extremely big bed with beautiful carving make you amaze.. They are teak from Burma thought. Overall, room is big, clean.. staff are nice and location is very central... All info given by staff are accurate.... I do recommend this hotel to everyone...

The First Hotel is, as the name implies, Mae Sot's first Hotel. Entering here is like stepping back in time. From the ornately carved hand railings to the massive carved desks and head-boards, the genuine marble floor and bathroom tiles, and the beautifully carved hardwood celling inlays... this hotel should be a protected landmark, a destination in itself. True, you will see some dust and debris from past restoration efforts, but there is still a lot of charm and magic left in this old hotel. The rooms are clean, the rates are cheap and the service good... what's not to like?

The heavy, dark carved wood everywhere was awesome, and probably most North Americans will never have seen this much intricately carved wood all in one place. The bedding was unpleasant, but you’re here to look at the amazing woodwork that the owner told me is constantly being worked on by carpenters from Burma, not to gaze at the linens so don't let that stop you from experiencing the dark woodwork. The marble bathrooms add to the experience, but slippery when wet! The location is central, although far from the main bus terminal and the Burmese border. Booking.com indicated no availability, but there were rooms when we went to the front desk. For ~450bht per night for a double, why wouldn’t you stay for a night? Every place I stayed had a combination A & C electrical outlet, so I didn’t need a plug adapter for my U.S. A-type plug. WiFi depended on where you were in the building. There was AC, but there were also mosquitoes so I used my net.

From the outside, this hotel looks like a real dump, but once you step inside, you are welcomed by antique teak furniture that is absolutely fantastic. The furniture alone make it a worthwhile option. The lobby staff allow you to choose a room other than theo one they show you. The rooms are priced at 280 and 450 Baht respectively for fan and air-con rooms. There is no breakfast, to the best of my knowledge. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The window was slightly broken in my room, but the glass was intact. The room was full of teak furniture. There is satellite TV, a fridge and free wifi. The aircon rooms are quiet, but the fan ones are prone to traffic and street noise. There is a car park outside. The shower is good enough, but not superb. There is plenty of hot water. I would stay there again. I am not sure whether they clean the rooms every day. Mine wasn't cleaned. The aircon in my room had no temperature control - only the numbers 1 and 2. However, it was cold during the day, but a little warm at night.

Stayed here for just 1 night. It is a very old hotel and has a lot of character, it is fairly clean, although stained curtains and off white bedding sheets. The hotel is full of ornate wooden carvings and furniture from Burma i think. It was worth the 450 baht just to see the carvings, you just dont get that in any modern hotel. The room was fairly big with aircon and the bathroom although old had original marble. In its day this hotel must have been fantastic. It still has charm today, and for the price it is a very good choice. I would stay there again if in town.....enjoy

This hotel has well carved beds, ceilings, walls and other. This hotel is in the center of town, close to a big market, shopping, close to the Miramar Border as I biked there. The hotel room was well lit and I found it comfortable. The layout is rather calming with all of the wood and open space. The town is laid out on a grid and it would be difficult to get lost even in the markets.

The staff and owner are very nice and helpful. I stayed 2 or 3 nights, it's a blur. I cancelled one night and they kindly agreed to it. The breakfast I missed but they allowed me to help myself to what was there anyway. The room was very clean and spacious. It was a welcome break after the noise and pollution of Bangkok. It is off the beaten track and locals will not know it as they don't need to. As always in Thailand negotiate with the man who's tuktuk or taxi you're going to take, they do try! It's not the cheapest or most central hotel in Maesot but it's one of the best at that price. The wood work I could live without. Deforestation is rampant.

Great convivial place friendly staff especially Anne. Would stay here again. Well located, good wifi Could do with a bit more attention in the rooms regarding the stained curtains and groggy bathrooms but perfectly adequate at 280 single fan 400 twin a/c. I think any modernisation is focused on more wood and its carving. A passionate owner, one who must have purchased the timber when an opportunity arose.

In the whole of Thailand we have never found a place with such a wonerfull owner, incredible wooden creations, bathrooms made of marble. Over the period of our stay we had 4 different rooms, there were no bugs in any of them, each time they were clean, fresh towels were brought daily, free botteled water was a nice touch. The only thing missing was warm water, but I don't think you're gonna get it in this price range anywhere around.
