Intouch Guest House

when 12go Asia didn't get our train tickets as booked and confirmed (another story and review coming....) they put us up in the intouch. This really was the worst I have seen in years of SE Asia backpacking with the 'friendliness' of the staff to boot. The sheets were dirty, and the blankets didn't have sheets at all. I have never been so glad for my own sleeping bag and a 6am scheduled time to leave.....

The g/h was hard to find as wrong phone number quoted and different facade from one on web site. Despite having confirmation of booking and money taken from bank a/c[hotels ***********] I was told there was not a reservation for me. They had only one room available which I paid cash for each day for the 5 nights. My room was not serviced throughout my stay but fresh towels were supplied on request. The lady in charge was overloaded with work and seemed at times to be unable to cope. I had trouble obtaining my train ticket which was delivered to g/h and told it was not there when in fact it was. A laundry service was available and on final day I found a shirt among my laundry that was not mine. The bed was comfortable, air/con worked well and the roomy shower had good hot water. The g/h was a glorified back packers with private rooms and seemed to have a few long term residents. For around US$14 per night it was ok but in hindsight I would have paid a bit extra for a nicer place.
