This newly renovated 6 floor hotel is fresh, clean, practical with large rooms and good views. Rather poorly designed bathrooms let the quality down, but there are large wardrobes and lots of shelves in the bedroom. It is just 1.5 km from the city centre, which is a 10 minute walk, although we had a car which was a great asset as we could get around easily. We received a very warm welcome from the manager who spoke excellent English, although other staff struggled but hey, it is Thailand and language communication is all part of the fun. The rooms were noisy at times with door banging the main problem (why is the art of closing a door quietly apparently lost in 2018?) but there was also some noise coming through the walls, also a common problem in Thailand. Breakfast was a disappointment, being Chinese and the excellent coffee machine broke on the first day which meant toast and cold eggs was the only choice. We ate out after that. Overall, a good choice and good value.
