I booked this hotel in the expectation that it would be cheap and cheerful. It was drab and the room was way dated. Also I booked this as the pool looked very inviting on the net, (temps here 28-30C) when I got there they told me the pool was out of service due to COVID. It was obviously being worked on. I only stayed one night (after paying only for two nights as the facilities advertised were not available.

Nobody will belief me,I booked for two rooms at this hotel for 4 days and check into the hotel at 3.30 pm on 27/3/18. and check out at 5.30 pm on the same day.The reason is that I cant imagine how filthy and dirty the toilet was(for both room).The hotel agree to change both room for me but after viewing the \"new room\" , it made no difference its equally dirty ( Toilet cleanliness and hygiene is the most fundamental thing that everyone need).

Distraction-free business hotel

The hotel has seen better days.
It's large, but under-populated, and seems to have only a handful of shy staff, so feels extremely empty - spooky even.
Value was quite good, given the size of the room, but things like lack of mini-bar or safe, hard pillows, old fixtures, indifferent staff, and general neglect made this a dull place to spend time.

As I actually wanted a distraction-free room to work in, and privacy to come and go, this worked out OK for me in the end.

The pool is a good size, and well-maintained, though the surrounding grounds and area were unattractive.
Wi-Fi was just adequate. OK for emails, but I ended up tethered to my phone most of the time for online work.

hotel is so old I think it wants to retire

The hotel is in a great location, but it is very old and in a sad condition. Broken hallway lights are not fixed, with some wirings hanging out. Walls look tired and yellowish. Everywhere you look, the hotel shows you its old age and lack of maintenance.
The lobby looks like a museum, with massive ornaments and furnitures that serve the hotel no purpose. It's like one establishment closed down and this hotel kept all their stuff in their lobby.
Staff was half-friendly and very disorganised. Whoever cleaned my room left a damp washcloth and a disgusting white sheet on the side table.
Buffet breakfast sucks. No bacon! Chicken soup tasted like fish soup (possibly because of too much chayote).
I chose this hotel for the Yee Peng Festival, and it served me right for that purpose, because I could see the lanterns right out my window. Since that's done, I am not staying in this hotel again.

Bad hotel like staying in hell.

We pay the room for 5 nights but just stayed for one night only. The rooms are unacceptable, stinky with mouldy smell. Faucet is missing for hot water supply. No light on the hallway. Socket exist unsafe. Water overflow after flushing the toilet. Irons burn mark on the carpet.
They don't have our registration record until we show our document. We had booked two rooms with one single bed and one double bed but they said we booked one room only and we need we paid extra 500 baht before they can serve us. Can you arrange for the refund or what procedure we can do at this stage.

Old hotel but OK. Good value & Location..

The hotel is a bit old. The room was comfortable enough, but the fridge had mould around the edge of it. Not all the lights worked and one bulb blew while I was there (I just realised I forgot to tell reception - oops). The staff were friendly though. I checked in easily enough even at 0530, and the checkout was quick. The wi-fi was so poor I could not get a connection. The best features for me were the staff, the distance from the main road and the big, secure carpark. Sorry can't comment on the food as I didn't have time to eat there during my stay.

Strong point: location,location,location

My room faced the Mae Ping River on the 5th floor, providing an excellent view. Also, it was high and far enough from the street noise, which made for a quiet room. It is a relatively short walk to the night markets, a supermarket and some good restaurants. The staff friendly and helpful. Now for the weak points: Rooms need an update, carpet faded, needed more outlets and better lighting, bath tub quite worn. The facilities had a general dingy appearance inside and outside, like a place that had its heyday in the past. Conclusion: I was generally satisfied all things considered. I would stay again but g/f didn't like it.

Pleasant hotel, close to night bazaar

The best thing about this hotel is the location, a 5 minute walk from the night bazaar. The hotel itself was OK although it did have some flaws:

1. wifi access limited to the reception area only. I spoke to one of the drivers who said this was because the hotel wanted to avoid people inviting their friends to their room and using their wifi free of charge. They should be able to screen out non -paying guests as soon as they enter the building.

2. Mosquito infection at reception. Even when you get to use the wifi access, you can't enjoy it because there are mosquitos everywhere.

3. Don't bring anything sweet ( i.e food ) to your room as it will be colonised by the ants. Luckily they provided a fridge but an ants infestation remains unpleasant to the first time traveller.

4. Breakfast - Dissapointed that this was fairly limited - toast, jam, coffee and a few egg with noodle options. However again, some of the bread had ants crawling in them which is naturally off putting to potential tourists.

It wasn't all bad, room service was very good, although they could further improve by giving a do not disturb tag on the door knob.

Other than that, it was a good hotel for the price that was paid. They should increase the price to include airport shuttle instead of making you pay again , but other than that, it was ....a fair experience.

Budget hotel, poor comfort, Not good for family.

We booked two room for family of 4 looking at photos on expedia. Had terrible experience. Linen dirty. Lot of dirt on windows, tables. Carpets old, and not clean. Lizard, cockroaches and especially mosquitoes in plenty. No wifi in room despite the description on Expedia website. Poor wifi in lobby but could not sit even for 5 min due to mosquitoes. Swimming pool dStaff hardly speak or understand English. Breakfast OK for most but not good for vegetarians like irty and not well kept and basically not usable. us. Overall bad choice. could have got better hotel in less price. Paid £30 (1500baht) per night. Very poor value for money. Fooled by pictures on expedia.

Detter er et 20-25 år gammelt hotell, som helt sikkert var da. Men 25 år uten vedlikehold har gjort det til et hotell jeg aldri kommer til å besøke igjen.

Da incubo!

Dalle foto sembrava un hotel decente, tuttavia le foto devono probabilmente risalire a 20 o 30 anni fa. Posto obsoleto e sporco. Personale insufficiente e inadeguato. L'addetta alle pulizie che ti bussa alla porta il mattino presto mentre ancora stai dormendo... Vetri esterni talmente sporchi da impedire la vista (vedi foto). Sporcizia ovunque. Infissi vecchi e rovinati. Suppellettili acquistate probabilmente d'occasione al museo... Lampade rotte e mai sostituite.
Chiamarlo albergo è un grande complimento, infatti sembra di più a una vecchia casa per anziani di 100 anni fa. L'ascensore sembra di più a un montacarichi che un lift per persone... Se non avessi pagato in anticipo, avrei girato i tacchi ancora prima di appoggiare la valigia per terra. Un vero schifo.
