Compared to other Hotels around the Central Beach area for the same price the AA Hotel has the edge.
It's just far enough away from the busy, noisey places to be quiet and comfortable for a good nights sleep yet only a short walk to the Walking street, great bars and Authentic Thai eateries, (On second Street). Being located on the Beach road was a plus, it's great to sit around the pool located on the 4th floor and watch the hussle and bussle on the street below. I was there for the Loy Krathong Festival and the view of the fireworks from there was spectacular!
The Rooms are old and a little shabby but clean and comfortable, the bed was moderately firm and good pillows. I always had hot water although if showering later in the morning sometimes just warm.
The rooms are serviced daily with clean towels and linen. The bottled drinking water is free however the friendly cleaning staff seem reluctant to provide it dispite me asking. I just bought large bottles of water from 7/11 just up the street.
Most of the staff were pleasant enough when I first arrived however as I stayed for 2 weeks I think the novelty wore off and would quite often just ignor me or hand me my keys with a half hearted smile.
Definately can't complain for the price and would stay again if I return again.
