Lamoon Boutique Trang — the in-town shophouse with rooms bigger than the price suggests
Most places to stay in central Trang are small, standard rooms — but Lamoon Boutique Trang takes a different path · It's a renovated 4-storey shophouse in the Ban Phlu Phli area, with several room types that are larger than you'd expect, and some that sleep a whole group or family · A small 4-star boutique hotel with a garden, a bar, and staff that reviewers rate very highly · From around ฿750/night, scoring 8.1 from real guest reviews.
Lamoon Boutique Trang occupies a renovated 4-storey shophouse in the Ban Phlu Phli area (Thap Thiang sub-district) of central Trang, reworked into a small boutique hotel · The thing guests mention most is that the rooms are bigger than the price suggests, especially the Studios and the larger group rooms that sleep several people · Many reviewers arrive as a group or family and report getting a far roomier space than expected — better value to share than booking several small rooms.
Room types range from a Queen with garden view, to Twin, Studio and Triple rooms for groups · The clean, attractive bathrooms come up often as a highlight, and many rooms are decorated in warm tones with comfortable beds and cold air-con · Some have a balcony · The catch is that the rooms aren't configured the same way — a few lack a fridge, kettle or desk · One reviewer summed it up: a small fridge and kettle in the room would have made it a perfect ten.
"We came as a group and got a big room, the bathroom was beautiful and clean, and everything was nearby — genuinely good value for a stay in central Trang."
Service is where this place scores highest · Staff earn very high marks — reviewers consistently call them friendly, attentive and helpful, happy to recommend restaurants and sights around town · There's an airport transfer service and help booking tours and tickets · Cleanliness is praised steadily across reviews · The hotel also has a garden, a bar and a relaxed common lounge area to unwind in.
The location is in central Trang's Ban Phlu Phli area, on Phloen Phithak Road · It's about 1.9 km from Trang Clock Tower, with Ratsadanupradit (the city park) within easy walking distance · The streets around it are full of restaurants and cafes — including well-rated spots like Mamma Mia and Green House — close to a hospital and shops · It's roughly 2.5 km from Trang Railway Station and 7 km from Trang Airport · The area is quieter than the old-town core but still keeps the city's food and sights within easy reach.
What to know before you book: because it's a converted shophouse, there's no lift — you'll be using the stairs, so anyone with heavy luggage or who finds stairs difficult should ask for a lower-floor room · Soundproofing isn't great, with reviews mentioning noise from the room next door and, at times, firecrackers from a nearby Chinese shrine · Some showers are on the cramped side, and rooms at the same price can differ in size and layout — so state your preferences when you book.
In short, per real guest sentiment: Lamoon Boutique Trang suits groups and families who want a roomy, good-value base in central Trang and value warm service · Standard rates start around ฿750/night, rising to roughly ฿1,800–2,200 for the larger Studios and group rooms in peak periods — fair value for the room size and service, as long as you accept the no-lift building and that in-room amenities vary by room type.
