Good points:
- Location is great. Short walk to the craziness and all the bars and restaurants but just far enough away from it to not be a loud or seedy area.
- Pool is great. It’s a decent size and a really nice temperature. Opening hours of the pool are 9am to 9pm
- we had one of the new rooms in the newer building which was really nice. Pool view was very nice, size of the room was good facilities were newish.
Bad Points:
- The pool bar is ridiculously over expensive at 120thb per beer (around £3GBP). Everywhere else sells beer for between 50 and 80 baht. They also charge 80 baht (around £2GBP) for a can of coke which can be bought at the 7 eleven next door for less than 20 baht.
- Some staff have an issue with you bringing your own food and drink to the hotel, which seems strange considering they sold me a self catering package. They were fine selling me this but then told me off for eating food from outside of the hotel.
- Breakfast is awful. I’m not normally one to complain about breakfast in countries such as Thailand. With that said, most hotels offer a decent western breakfast option. In this case it’s only toast or eggs, there’s no bacon, sausage, beans etc, just curries, noodles, deep fried stuff etc. There is also some fruit and 2 choices or cereal. The juice options were lovely. I would skip breakfast at the hotel and head out of the hotel go left and follow the road until you see Lucky 13 opposite Bangla boxing stadium, they do good food!
