In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Attentive, personal service — Guests repeatedly mention the staff going out of their way – from helping find lost car keys to making sure everything is perfect.
  • Relaxing pool and spa — The saltwater pool with a shallow end is a hit with families and couples alike, and the full spa menu adds to the calm.
  • Great location for temples and the old city — Walk to Wat Suan Dok in about 20 minutes, and a short taxi ride gets you to the Old City and its nightlife.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Value for money is a common complaint — Guests feel the price doesn't always match what's offered, with the Value category scoring lowest at 6.8.
  • Some rooms are dated or noisy — A few guests mention older furnishings or street noise, which can affect sleep quality.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with an animal.
