Lovely room, cleaned daily. Staff are very pleasant and friendly. Mostly quiet. Excellent views and near local shops, restaurants. Only issue we had was that there was 1 room key - this was difficult to manage as we were 3 groups of adults who didn't do everything together. 2 keys would have been ideal - a point for improvement. Overall a fantastic hotel

Really pleased with all aspects of our stay the only problem really was that from 5 pm to midnight on every evening of our stay in mid January the adjacent temple spoilt our peace with outrageous over amplified chanting that the hotel could not control.
We were told that this is only a problem at this time of the year.

Meals at the restaurant were good quality and filling but for a more authentic Thai experience I would head to Jenny's Bistro 100m down the main road where food is freshly cooked, cheap and delicious.
