Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were good. However on our last night, the people who were staying next to our room were making so much noise at 2am in the morning. I even went to complain but nothing was resolved and eventually I fell asleep only because I was tired. I was also disappointed with the gym facilities and the fact that the swimming pool was not deep enough.

Near major shopping
Hotel is okay... Problem with the air conditioner was sorted very quickly and we were given an upgraded room. Showers were a bit weird with the flow and heat/cold. Catching a bus opposite central gets you to Patong Beach for 30 baht. Shopping is walking distance. All good.

NOISY: Annoying beeping doors and group tours
One complaint. This group caters to big group tours. So the hotel is overrun by this specific type of tourist. So the other guests are very loud, going in and out of each other's room, yelling across the hall. So if you wanna peaceful stay, this is not the place for you. And they need to do something about the DOORS. The doors don't close on their own - you need to yank them yourself. If the door is not fully closed, there is an annoying, incessant beeping that will go on forever until you yank the door shut. The group tours don't know this, so every day, almost all day, the "beep-beep-beep-beep" goes on and on and on, driving you crazy! Oh the wifi is terrible.

Nice Hotel close to central festival mall
Nice friendly staff, room is alright to me, from hotel to central festival mall is just 15mins away. Hotel provide shuttle service to central festival mall. All is good except for the wifi. Wifi is hard to connect. Also wifi signal is not good in room. Hopefully they will work on it.

Nicholas, nothing within walking distance.

Disliked: Staff & service
looks the part but falls short
main reason for staying was because it had a balcony room, which we did not receive. staff were scarce, breakfast was less than average, could not supply or make an effort to get a taxi, the only good thing I can say, is that the bed was very comfortable and the pool was very nice.

New Clean Spacious Hotel but poor WIFI and ave svc
A new hotel, room is spacious and clean. I had the impression that hotel was to meant more for PRC tourists. Front desk speaks Chinese though I indicated to speak English. Some hotel service staff seems unfriendly unlike other hotels I had stayed. probably they thought we are one of those uncouth Chinese from PRC. Wifi is bad requiring auto-reconnections many times. Would not recommend to anybody who needs to be connected within a blink.
