Nice, authentic hotel. The room is spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable. It is perfectly located. Sunday market is right in front of the hotel. Saturday night market is about half a mile. Both night walking markets are fun. Lots of food and things to see and buy. The hotel right next to pharmacy and 7-11. A good restaurant across the street that serves good kao soi. The hotel is a few blocks from Wat Phra Singh, a very interesting Buddhist temple.
There are lot of street vendors right outside of the hotel. One of the nights, we were just too lazy and hot to find a restaurant, so we decided to have papaya salad, bao, banana rotini and barbecue from some of the vendors and ate at the hotel. Dinner cost 205 Baht ($5.85) and they all tastes good especially the bao. So, do not dismiss the food from these street vendors :).
Hotel breakfast is good. I like the rice porridge and thai style omelette. The breakfast room is nice and airy with the view of the pool.
The best thing about this hotel are the staff. Both Earth and Ms. Phang (?) speaks perfect English. They are both very helpful. Ms. Phang helped us choose the attraction depending on what we want. We had fun at the Dream Elephant Project sanctuary and the cooking class. Earth (his easy name) went above and beyond in helping us reserve our bus tickets on our next destination. He helped us book it. Website was in Thai and the English version was not working. He helped filled out the info and make sure all the information are correct. He even accompanied us to 7-11 to pay for the ticket. So, If you are in doubt on how to get things done from securing transportation, getting the appropriate attractions or getting your bus tickets just ask them. Ms. Khaeng, the property manager was also very helpful and responsive. We were not sure what time we will get in town (flight issues). She communicated with us to make sure our check-in goes smoothly. The servers at the restaurant are very polite and are out to serve you as soon as they see you come in. Overall our experience with these hotel is very pleasant and positive. Highly recommended!!!
