Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

amazing decorationfriendly stafflimited spaceloud air conditioning

I noticed the hotel decoration is amazing. The Thai culture permeates every corner. I found the staff friendly and helpful.

I thought the room was not spacious enough. There was no shower curtain, so there was no separation between the toilet and shower. The air conditioning was loud.

The room was quite spacious and clean. I found the team to be very helpful with directions. The cafe area was undeniably beautiful (i loved the decorations!).

The room lacked sufficient space for clothes. There was no wardrobe available, nor a chair to hang items. I also noticed the absence of a shower curtain. This resulted in water spreading throughout the bathroom after each shower. The air conditioning unit was quite loud.

the room was clean and the location was quiet (a definite plus).

My room's wifi connection was unfortunately quite poor. It made it difficult to get any work done, and streaming videos was nearly impossible. the lack of reliable internet was a significant issue.
