Hua Hin has long been on travellers' itineries and as a result has a history of providing clean, comfortable guesthouse accommodation for the budget conscious.
Over the years, as Hua Hin has grown and become more well-known worldwide, so the standard of guesthouses has improved and it is now easy to find very affordable rooms with quite a few of the facilities of much bigger hotels.
Most of the guesthouses in Hua Hin are fairly small, with many only having 5 or so rooms, but what they lack in numbers, they more than make up for in terms of customer support, friendliness and overall hospitality.
The larger guesthouses will be able to provide a good range of options to suit all budgets, ranging from rooms with en-suite bathrooms, cable or satallite tv, air conditioning and tea/coffee making facilities to basic fan rooms with shared bathrooms. The smaller guesthouses in Hua Hin may only have a couple of rooms, but many of them are well appointed and will satisfy most travellers.
Almost all guesthouses will have some form of bar and restaurant. You can't necessarily expect high Thai cuisine, but you will find decent breakfasts and a limited, but tasty, range of local food. The bars will be family friendly and are good places to relax and enjoy conversation with other travellers and ex-pats. It is quite common that people arrive in Hua Hin for a few days, or maybe a week and find themselves still here after a month or so. For the longer term resident, most guesthouses in Hua Hin will be able to offer attractive discounts for the long-stayer and indeed it is always worth trying to negotiate rates with the guesthouse, depending on the time of year. It is also important to note that many of the guesthouses do get full during high season, so forward booking is advisable to save you wandering around town in the heat with all your belongings.
Some of the more popular guesthouses in Hua Hin are:
Chada Guesthouse Hua Hin
Jing's Guesthouse Hua Hin
Lille Man Guesthouse Hua Hin
Mr Dan Guesthouse Hua Hin
Pattana Guesthouse Hua Hin
M&A Guesthouse Hua Hin
The Shed Guesthouse Hua Hin
Supasuda Guesthouse Hua Hin
All of the above are located right in the centre of Hua Hin and so are close to the beach and all local amenities.
As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to pay in the region of 650 to 1,200 baht per night for an en-suite air conditioned room with facilities, down to 300 baht per night for more basic guesthouse accommodation.
