Tingkham Guesthouse

The staff is friendly , there is a second person who does speak English. My room was small, I had the lower basement with shared bathroom. My first two nights the power went out a few times because the fuse was overworked and this happened in the bathroom when I was showering . I’m so glad I bought a flash light with me. While waiting for the light and hot water to warm up, I washed my pant, shirt and bra. The water in the ladies restroom was never hot only lukewarm for me and the ceiling is low so if you’re taller than 5’3, it will not be comfortable for you. I’m 5’2 and I cannot put my arms up , you will hit the ceiling. My last night I got tired of waiting for the ladies restroom to be available, so I went to the men’s restroom and their water gets hot! Just shower in the men’s restroom, no one would know. All the light switches are outside. The room I was in had 3 twin beds and the bed is hard rock and it will hurt. Don’t worry there is plenty of massage parlors that you can get to make your stay a bit more comfortable. The Wi-Fi sucks , it keeps going in and out. The location is convenient , near a lot of shop, eatery, night market and the river . Also this is within walking distances.

Good price good place

Das Guesthouse liegt mitten im UNESCO-Welterbe und ist denkmalgeschützt. Deshalb kann die Ausstattung nicht an moderne Zeiten angepasst werden. Die Treppe zu den Zimmern ist relativ steil. Den Gang der Mönche kann man vom Balkon aus beobachten, ohne die Einheimischen zu stören. Die Dame an der Rezeption sprach leider sehr wenig Englisch. Deshalb war die Kommunikation per Übersetzungsprogrammen recht umständlich.

The room was really cheap and totalt okay. The bed was a bit small for my liking but you can’t really complain with that price.

Le camere doppie col balcone sono accoglienti, belle e pulite. Le camere triple sono sottoterra, con una finestra che si apre su un muro completamente buio e c’e solo un bagno per sesso per varie camere. Le doppie consigliatissime e a buon prezzo ma le camere triple dovrebbero costare molto meno per le condizioni in cui versano. Personale della guesthouse disponibile e professionale, caffe gratis tutto il giorno
