Ok first, I have a very in-depth review because I have perspective, as I've lived at this amazing Mom-and-Pops establishment for 1.5 years. I truly (and humbly) believe my review has clout and validity. One of the main reasons I stayed so long is because I was a teacher in Nonthaburi and have a small dog, and the Vanlisut was the only hotel in Nonthaburi that accepts small dog and - I had no idea and was so lucky that *this* was the hotel I stayed at because of all the perks mentioned below.
Like the other reviewer said, absolutely do *not* be fooled by this hotel's exterior, as you *will* be missing out! This place is 100% a hidden gem!! There is a definite reason they have ny long-term residents like I was myself (of course you can stay as short as 1 or 2 days if you'd like tho).The *only* reason I moved out today (Sept 11, 2020) is because my job is very far away in Hua Lamphong, otherwise, I would still be living at the Vanlisut due to (many reasons), one of which it is very close proximity to 2 great malls with phenomenal food, clothes stores, grocery stores, etc! - I explain more below).
With that said, there are just *so* many positive things that I can say about the Vanlisut. Where do I even begin?!? Their rates are very affordable for the great quality you get, you are in such close proximity to everything you can think of or need, it is safe even as a female walking at night, etc. I also need to mention that, as someone who was born and raised on O'ahu, Hawai'i (USA), I am pretty familiar with the tourism/hospitality industry and the importance of quality customer service and quality of services offered in general. If a business has poor customer service, I will leave immediately because life is too short to spend your hard-earned money on a business that doesn't care or simply value me as a customer. The Vanlisut very much values their customers with all sincerity, you can feel their warmth, and care, which is why I stayed there for so long. I want them to succeed so much because they work so hard and they love this hotel (as do I - plus, I would love to visit again in the future dangit! Lol). I also need to mention that I have very high standards in terms of sanitation overall and have seen over my 1.5 year stay that they are consistently very clean. The owners, Chanchai and his mother do an excellent job making sure their hotel is always welcoming (they are responsive when you need anything), you are always accomodated with anything you (they have daily cleaning service if you wish, or you just let them know what you need) and you will always receive prompt, genuine and caring customer service. And good God, I need to say that I have never seen *anyone* work 7 days a week nearly 12+ hour days like they do. They are constantly working to make this already great hotel even better! They just added a cute little koi pond in the front of the hotel which is so peaceful u0026 serene. They are always looking to improve. Around the hotel, Chanchai's mother has a lot of gorgeous green plants and walking around the Vanlisut is so calming ane feels like a tranquil oasis because you feel like you are in nature with all the natural greenery. This hotel is their true lifeblood, they live and breathe this hotel and they definitely cherish and appreciate their customers). The nearest mall to the Vanlisut is Pantip Plaza (which is known as the "technology mall", plus, it has other shops like Mr. DIY, Tops, Cafe Amazon, KFC, Texas Chicken, Oishii, and many more as they have 6 levels of stores!), there are a plethora/a ton of fruit and veggie vendors nearby, clothes vendors, anything fashion vendors just a few minutes walking distance. Oh, if that wasn't enough, there is a 7-11 right downstairs from the Vanlisut which is so convenient! The Mall Ngamwongwan (8 min walk) now actually competes with The Emquartier and Centralworld. To name a few, they have Tim Hortons, Mos Burger all the way to Sushi a
Seki and Aka! I ❤ the Vanlisut!!
