Friendly staff.
Old hotel that needs lots of upgrades.
It was advertised as a 4-star hotel, but truly a 3-star or 2.5 star. Restaurant quality is poor for lunch or dinner, very sad place.
Dirty room, got an upgraded room after complaining, but the rest of the hotel was not a comfirtable stay.
I really wanted to cancel my reservation, as this was a special trip from America investing time and money for a low quality experience.
prime location, reasonable price with all facilities, attentive staff(s) (security👮) but TV has few channels

I double booked and did not stay at this hotel because the other hotel is cleaner and newer but I checked the room and it's okay. What I remember is entering the hotel lobby, there's unpleasant smell. They have a spa and restaurant inside the hotel.
For a four star hotel very disappointing.
Intermittent internet, no hot water for shower in the morning, room was very tired looking, the only plus point was we only booked for one night.
The hotel is old but very well kept. The room was large and comfortable. It had a tub and in room safe and fridge. The pool is big and quiet.
There is not much to do near the hotel. There are a couple of museums close by and dining places and a few massage places.
The breakfast was great and dinner was good. As in most restaurants in Thailand, don't expect your meals to come to the table at the same time.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.

OK for a budget
A decent hotel but very dated (very 90s look and feel). Located very conveniently next to the airport bus stop.
Room was clean and comfy, small mix up in reservations, we booked a king size bed, but got two doubles. Otherwise very good

The room was good terrific shower, clean but the place needs updating, maybe a change in management style, its very old world. Bring it into the 21st century. I can't knock my room at all
The hotel is old and it shows. Pretty much everything is in really bad condition and dirty. The staff can't a lick of English and therefore they ignore you as far as they can. The one good thing is the restaurant Ratta, which had very good service and good food.
