Lovely hotel, but out of the way for walkers
friendly staff, strong a/c
7.3
This was a perfectly fine hotel, but I was a little disappointed. I've stayed in other top-rated, "travelers' choice" hotels, and they were amazing. This one is also top-rated, but it was okay. Nothing wrong with it, but not amazing. First of all, there's the location. Other reviewers have mentioned the tranquil oasis off a busy street. And that's nice, but if you just want tranquility, why bother going into the city at all? Just stay in a remote resort. We like being in the middle of things, and the hotel was not at all in the middle of things. It was a 15-20 minute walk to the night market area, along a busy boulevard that runs east-west, so it's in the bright sun all day long. In hindsight, this was the biggest disappointment for us: not being about to walk out the door and be in the middle of things. The breakfast buffet was spartan. Pleasant enough, but not exactly a ton of choices. Wifi was shaky. It was free and fast enough, but we had to login again and again and again on all devices. It couldn't maintain a connection. Pools were nice enough, although small, not suitable for lap swimming. Best thing about the hotel was the front desk staff, who were very helpful, eventually. When we arrived, I asked about the Muay Thai stadium and got a lot of wishy-washy lukewarm, "we don't really know but we heard it's not operating and maybe you want to take an elephant tour?" stuff. So we went and did our own research and booked our own tours. Later when we stopped by the front desk, we found other staff going over-the-top to help, guide, and advise other guests about things to see and do. I wish we'd just waited for a change of shifts, then asked other staff on our first day about stuff to do. Turns out the front desk staff is great, and my lukewarm answer was an anomaly. The Muay Thai stadium is indeed operating, and worth a visit!
