How do I start describing this nightmare.
I stayed at this hotel from Dec 28 to Jan 2 and had one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had.
On arrival, I was quoted 13,000 THB for 5 nights (far above the normal rate).
The hotel refused card payment, so I paid cash.
I was given a room with no windows, located in a very noisy area, making it impossible to sleep.
The next morning, I requested to check out and receive a refund.
The front desk staff member (a young desk manager) refused, shouted at me, and said I was not allowed to check out. He claimed the payment was non-refundable, although this was never disclosed before payment, and I was never given a receipt showing this condition.
No one told me this before that it is non refundable.
When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told there was no one else, and the shouting continued.
I was also insulted in Thai.
Under pressure, I was told the only option was to pay an additional 7,000 THB to change rooms.
Wanting to avoid losing all my money or being removed by security, I agreed.
The second room was directly above a bar, with extreme noise until around 4 a.m.
I requested to move again the following day, which resulted in additional charges.
Only after three days was I finally moved to a quiet, acceptable room.
At checkout, after a 5-night stay, I was charged 1,500 THB for only 2.5 hours of late checkout.
The staff initially refused to return my deposit, shouting again and claiming I never paid one. The deposit was only returned after repeated insistence.
In total, I paid approximately 22,000 THB in cash for 5 nights.
Despite repeated requests, the hotel refused to provide a receipt or any written confirmation of the amount paid, saying it would be emailed to me. No receipt was ever sent.
The main issue was not the room it was the hostile, aggressive, and coercive behavior of the front desk staff, especially being prevented from checking out, shouted at, and pressured into paying more money.
Guests should never be treated this way.
I strongly recommend staying elsewhere.
