My friends, and daughter and I stayed at the Pingdoi last week for 3 nights. A driver was waiting for us as soon as we arrived at the airport. The staff is excellent and very nice. The reception area of the hotel and the hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful. The hotel provided generous quantities of bottled water, soda and juice in our room at no charge. Our room was large and very nice as well. My traveling companions and daughter had flights to continue their travel in the morning and mine was in the evening. When I inquired about transportation to the airport, I was told there was a free shuttle. I assumed that it was the typical beat-up mini van that included several other travels. Turns out it was a brand new black mini van with soft leather seats and I was the only traveler. The receptionist and door person escorted me to the van. The traffic outside of the hotel is very intense. The security guard for the hotel, stopped the traffic so that the van could exist without waiting. On the way to the airport, the driver played really soothing low key guitar music. I felt like royalty. What a great way to end my stay! I also want to mention that we booked an extra night so that I could have a place to hang out until my evening flight. When we booked it, I knew I would be checking out early and not staying overnight. When I checked out without staying for the night, the hotel staff was very concerned that something was wrong. I assured them that all was fine and that I had intended to check out early all along. They seem like they really care about their service. I do want to mention that the hotel is not right in the thick of the old town. Getting to the old town and attractions is not a problem though. It's easy to jump on one of the many buses that go by. And it's a quick ride to where ever you want to go. You can also walk as well. We would definitely stay here again. Great price and wonderful boutique hotel experience.
