The staff were super friendly, helpful and respectful. It was the best hotel that I ever stayed in, in my whole life! The breakfast is excellent and the cleaning staff are very hard working. If this hotel had apartments, I would rent from them in a heartbeat! This was the best hotel experience I have ever had by far.

The hotel is very nice, appreciated the little extras in the room with comfortable bed and pillows (lacked a clock in the room). The area is challenging to get to attractions and we paid a lot on taxis and tuk tuks. Staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean and modern.

The Smell was what set my mood as I walked into it room for the first time, a overwhelming smell of mold. A smell that was present all day and all night everywhere in the room. A smell that kept us from getting into sleep coz of how bad it smelled. It seemed to origent from the AC. The room otherwise was OK, clean but small. Staff was a mix of feelings... The night keeper (a girl in this case on arrival) wasn't neither helpful or accomodating to our needs and want after travel, it seemed all she wanted was to play with her phone instead of attend to us as we arrived. The day staff (a Man) was a A+ customer person, helpful, happy and everything you would wish from a service staff. Hard to rate the hotel correctly with all the fuzz with the smell and staff. The hotel was other then the above a ok living in Bankngok.
