Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although tired and smelly with dampness issues, did come with a nice included breakfast, which was a plus. However, the peeling paint was not a pleasant sight. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with friendly and helpful staff but some miscommunication about meal choices and events. The location was a serene escape despite being close to busy areas, offering privacy and convenience. The dining experience was unique in an old-fashioned setting, but not entirely enjoyable for all palates. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were super cozy, well-renovated, and had high ceilings with colorful window glasses. The service was superb, especially the boat attendant who treated me like royalty, and the woman manager who was always pleasant and helpful. The location was convenient, close to Koh San Road, with a sense of privacy and privilege. The dining experience was sufficient, though the breakfast was simple. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room for improvement.
Staying at this hotel was a gem! The rooms were of great value, spacious, clean, and full of character, making my stay comfortable. The service was top-notch, especially the boat attendant and the manager, catering to every need with a smile. The location, while not justifying the price completely, was convenient for reaching the Old City and main tourist spots easily. Dining had its charm, albeit with some quirks. Overall, a great experience with a few minor hiccups along the way.
