Outstanding in every way: quality, comfort, cleanliness, price — great, great value. Decor is tasteful: old toys, antique bicycles and vintage scooter; chair in the room is made of hardwood planks from old buildings, yet the architecture is modern (black quartz countertop and stainless steel guard rail on the balcony). No less than four kinds of tiles are used in the bathroom alone. Maybe “Qoo” is to suggest being “cool”?
In terms of convenience, this hotel probably has a connection with Nok Air which, for 250 baht (on Nok Air website when booking for flights), sends passengers to town at two drop off points: this hotel and one other hotel in the city of Buriram. There is more: 7-11 is 20 feet away; and in case your spirit ventures, 12 feet away is car rental. See photo. Most fortunately, the excellent Oli’s Bar and Restaurant is right across the street.
Staying put in the compound is a reward in itself: Thai style fried dough (bak-tong-gor in Thai)
dipped in sweet condensed milk washed down with Nespresso latte, with a view of local antiques and bonsai trees, are tranquil and joyful. See photos.
The only two imperfections are: (1) coughing from next door can be heard clearly, perhaps owing to the sound transmission properties of concrete and steel; and (2) the entire bathroom floods, because an incline in the floor towards the drain was not built in. But, hey; at $20 a night this resident is not complaining.
