Very nice stay. When you get there you are welcomed by a cold towel and drink. The staff are friendly and they help you with your bags to your room. The place itself is clean, the bed is comfortable and the theatre exhibits bring a nice touch. I personally think the pool area needs a little sprucing. It's set on astro turf and the pool is just a plain rectangle and it just seemed uninviting? However this didn't affect us as we were only here for a short while.
The location is good. It is really close to a small local market where you can buy cheap Thai tea, coffee, biscuits and food or clothes. It's also a small ferry to cross to the old town which is a fun experience and costs 5 baht. The ferries appear regular and we never waited more than a few minutes. The river also has plenty of fish which you can watch which is nice. We personally liked it however you are very much located away from the crowds which could cause you issues for a long stay. For example with nearby food, restaurants and facilities... We only found one gym nearby which was DEFINITELY an experience 😂
This is not a negative but solely a point of reflection. We found the place to be a bit of a maze. We often got lost looking for the lift or stairs. We also had no idea where the bar area was or the spa. I think a map included in the welcome back and some clear signage around the hotel would be welcomed.
Our room was cleaned upon our request (you place a little sign on your door) to a high standard.
We stayed for three days and two nights and has breakfast once at the hotel. We have found breakfasts in Thailand a little weak in general however this one had good and bad parts. The good was it had traditional Thai food with signs explaining what the locals ate and how to eat it and this was nice and we enjoyed trying some of it. We've never seen this before and it was a really nice touch. They also have natural raw honey which you get off a honeycomb frame which was really tasty.
The bad is it lacked options, especially western ones. The sausages were frankfurters, the bacon was hard, there is no pancakes or eggs benedicts etc. We still managed with a continental breakfast e.g. Toast and yoghurt. But the options were still disappointing. One type of yoghurt, one type of topping. You can have different flavours, chia seeds, oats, granola, nuts and various health foods etc.
All in all we had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend. It was a well priced, clean, friendly hotel that definitely deserves its 4⭐
