Quite a quirky hotel and a place you'll either instantly warm to, or decide it's not your cup of tea. If you're after tight fitting uPVC windows and modern furnishings then this place is probably not for you. But therein lies it's charm for me, everything is wood, from the furnishings to the ancient sun loungers and window/door frames. The Tiles are unique and match on the stairs and along the terraces.
The wonderful Pagoda on the Seafront Terrace was my favourite place to spend a tranquil afternoon in a dreamy state with the breeze blowing up from the beach and countless Kite Surfers skimming the surface of the sea. Not many people staying when I was there.
But I try to give as fair a view as possible of any place, Pros and Cons. Regarding the latter, there was some construction noise from the neighbouring house, however this was intermittent and only really disturbed me in several occasions, not enough to stop me extending my stay by an additional week to three weeks. The thing is the swimming pool which isn't really big enough for swimming, more for just taking a cooling dip. I think the lack of a good size pool could be the decisive factor when I come back to Hua Hin.
However all in all a wonderful and memorable stay and the manager "Mr Good" couldn't be more helpful. The rest of the staff there are also great and a bit like a family in terms of their commitment to this Heritage Hotel
