My GF and I stayed there for 8 days last month. I also had trouble with emails, so I phoned them to find out some details. I think the reason that emails are not quickly replied to, is the owner is/was away, and the reception (which is part of the bar in the beergarden) is staffed by Thais who's English is not too good, and they are being taught German. I would highly recommend the hotel. Do not be put off by poor communication. The food in the restaurant was great, and the kitchen is spotless. Rooms are clean and cool, and pool is great. Within 50m of Bangla Road. Only downside, no tea/coffee facility in room. We booked via passionasia for 1st 4 nights, then extended direct to hotel at the same rate. 1200b for deluxe. There were many single males staying, so I guess its girl friendly.
