Chayo Bar is on the riverfront, opposite Ban Don Pier where the night boats leave for the islands. Free accommodation in a limited number of rooms, but do not expect anything special: mattress-on-floor rooms, fans and shared bathrooms. Run by Chayo and Toto who will look after you well but do not suffer fools gladly. Also serves food. Notice: Chayo and Toto have since moved due the the rising rents near the pier. Their new shop is on Talad Mai Road near the entrance Talad Kaset 2 Bus Station.
Ban Don Hotel is a place for really cheap and clean rooms, but for 300 baht, don't expect anything fancy. Most rooms don't have air-con or hot water and the entrance is through a shady looking restaurant. But, if you're looking for a place just to stay a night while passing through, it's pretty good for the price. Located close to Ban Don Road and Na Mueang Road.
Phangan Guesthouse & Hotel 402/7 Taladmai Rd. 27 Muang Suratthani 077-205799. Clean and convenient, near the minibus station and between the two bus stations. Basic and friendly. Fan for 300 baht, AC room for 400 baht. The owner is really nice. Each room is named after a Surat Thani provincial city. Located near the corner of Taladmai and Taladmai Rd. 27
Tapee Hotel is a mid-range priced hotel at 450-550 baht. The price differences range from fan to a/c and I think view, but I'm not sure. As a woman traveling alone I liked the bright entrance, manned desk and short distance to the market and bus stations. The rooms were older, very clean and the A/C worked quietly. There are two English-language channels on the TV (Al Jazeera and Star Movies), one Spanish and one Cantonese, in addition to local channels. and it had a hot water shower. Located on Chonkasem Road, it's about a 10 minute walk from the two bus stations and five from the waterfront and night market, which you should not miss. Turn left from the lobby, right at the next main road and follow your nose. The walk home later in the evening is interesting, as many of the 'short time' hotels have their ladies out, but the area is safe.
