Taken there by Motorbike taxi after asking for a cheap room. It cost $6 for a twin fan room which was alright even though the rooms are partitioned by thin board construction, you can hear the next room talking. The showers were ok and there was a nice verander to sit and read on and watch the world go by.

Located around the corner from Sandalwood Hotel (direction of the river). Most of the moto/taxi drivers at the train station don't know this place and think you're talking about Anttra hotel. Just tell them Sandalwood (or Royal Hotel which is some doors down - no tourist license) and you can walk the rest of the 50meters or so. You shouldn't have to pay more than 500-700kyat for a ride (they'll likely quote you 1000kyat).

$15 single room / $20 double room - bathroom is ensuite

These rooms are clean! This is the first time in 2 months of traveling thru SE Asia that I can honestly say this. Not perfect, but the closest you're going to come to it. The room includes AC (older version), tv (3 channels), mini-bar and screened window. No wi-fi on site and no available open lines from other businesses. Bathroom is spacious and toilet is on opposite side of shower head. Sink is clean (!) and includes mirror. Good size mirror in bedroom as well.

$6 single room / $12 double room - fan rooms, bathroom w/squat toilet is in hallway.

When I first arrived and asked for a single room, he quoted $15. I asked if he had any fan rooms and he said no. The fan rooms are the cheap rooms (I don't know why he didn't offer this info to me, but it's posted on the price board next to the office), so if you're looking for cheap and can deal with Asian style room, ask. I saw one room - a double - and the walls weren't as nice as the $15 room (dirty, paint peeling, etc.), only 1 nightstand in the room, pretty basic. There was a small window, but didn't open. On the wall near the ceiling are 2 “windows” into the hallway, but they only have screens on them - no actual window. So if you're a deep sleeper, it'll work. If not, you'll need earplugs. I checked out the bathrooms and they seemed fine enough.

Owner is kind of grumpy, but will answer questions and take care of any room problems (well, he just orders his slaves to take care of them). He may have a map of the town you can use. There are several internet places, a few closer than what he recommends (go north on the street and take first right.). He doesn't have any info on the buses nor is he interested in calling them to obtain info. Go to another hotel for this or find a travel agency.
