It really is true that often thise oaying more miss the best bits. In Agra i datyed many times in a hotel that was £5 per night. True it was quite scruffy, but itbwas right next to tge Taj Mahal. You could even sleep on the roof and watch the sunset come up over the Taj. The lucury, expensive hotels were not even in view of the Taj and had no view of the Taj. Cheaper places can often be more quirky, fun and are run by families that care. I love the Opey de Place personally

I stayed there a couple of years ago when my regular hotel wasn't available and I had to temporarily find a different hotel room. The room was very clean and had a nice comfortable bed and good AC. The only con I can think of is the power outlets were only 2 prong (and my computer only used 3 prong adapter). Other than that, it was a good place with a good budget price (about 650 Baht).
