Based on the 60 years old main building structure, we have expanded 5 rooms with bathrooms in 2014, and renovated other old part in 2019. Now all the facilities are practical and in good condition. The building design is planned based on what traveler needs. We’ve been running accommodation since 2004 and put all of the ideas to create Guesthouse Soi.

Our service keep developing as well. Our everyday lives are deeply involved with the guests, we keep our eyes on and make sure everything is alright.

Our Garden

The garden with small pond, trees and flowers is creating the calm and peaceful atmosphere. We have several trees including a big cheery blossom, and different flowers bloom through the summer to the winter. The maple leaves turns red in autumn and a stone lantern covered by snow in winter. It is a great treat to have such seasonal scenery, and good to have some tea at the seating area to make travel plan for the day, or to have a rest after the busy sight-seeing walk.

Kids Friendly Facilities

We are aiming children have a safe and enjoyable stay and parents are satisfied with the thoughtful facilities at every corner of our guesthouse, such as playing corner, step stools and low height sinks. We used to travel a lot since our children were very small, so we understand how hard and how nice to take children all over the world!
