Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a royal palace with amazing traditional Thai-style rooms that were nicely updated for my friend's birthday surprise. The interior made me feel truly majestic, but there were some noise disturbances coming from the nearby airport.
I stayed at this hotel for a friend's birthday celebration and had a great time. The rooms were spacious, clean, had wooden shutters making it a bit dark but very comfortable, especially the amazing bathroom and cozy bed. However, being close to the airport meant the airplane noise was noticeable. Dining was delicious and reasonably priced, especially the banana waffle. The location, while stunning with beautiful gardens, was a bit far from the city center and shopping spots.
