Articles Mentioning Budget

The Residenza Due Torri offers affordable rooms and a gracious setting with simple, traditional decor throughout. The two-and-a-half-pearl property is also well-located, within a five-minute walk of Piazza Maggiore and just a short stroll from other top sights. While features on-site are limited, there’s a well-reviewed and generous free continental breakfast served at a next-door sister hotel, where there’s also a bar. At only seven guest rooms, Residenza Due Torri has an intimate atmosphere, and accommodations have a moderately elegant, Old World feel. Standard amenities include mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but there are no electric kettles. The nearby B&B Bologna nel Cuore offers a hot breakfast and rooms that are a step up, but rates are sometimes more expensive.

Lime n Soda Beach Front Resort

Lime n Soda Beach Front Resort is a two-pearl hotel set along a narrow white-sand beach in Thong Sala, a 10-minute walk from downtown. It’s mainly geared towards young travelers on a shoestring budget who are looking to get away from the hectic Haad Rin scene, where the island’s legendary Full Moon Party is held. Hotel facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, a kiteboarding school, plus table tennis and beach volleyball. The 53 guests rooms are typical no-frills budget bungalows and are highly dated and rundown. Higher-category rooms include AC, hot water showers, and TVs, though the entry-level rooms are only equipped with fans. Bungalows do have balconies and some feature sea views.
