For the first time we took a hotel with a rating below 4 on Tripadvisor, but after reading all the reviews that the hotel was currently in the process of renovation, and seeing recent good reviews, we decided to go. A balcony is important to us, so we paid an extra 5 thousand for a deluxe room for it. The room turned out to be very spacious, neat, clean, with all the necessary amenities (safe, air conditioning, kettle), the Internet is good and available everywhere in the hotel. There is a bar downstairs where loud music is played at night, but only until midnight, after which it is quiet, but we had a room overlooking the garden, so this was not a problem at all. However, the room with access to the garden has one feature - the beautiful Koel bird with its loud howls in the early morning did not let us sleep on the first night, but then we got used to it and stopped paying attention. The staff is friendly and helpful, like many Thais)) Breakfast is a bit sp****, but this is the case in many other similar hotels in Asia, so it wasn’t a big deal for us, we’re already used to it. Every day they gave us fruit (watermelon, pineapple and some other), which was very nice. The pool is small, but you can sit there, every day it is cleaned in the morning and debris and leaves are caught during the day. There are free shuttles to the hotel branch on Kata Beach, if you don’t take a bike or don’t want to spend money on a taxi - a great opportunity to see other beaches. It’s a 10-15 minute walk to Karon, I walk about the same distance every day to the metro, so for us personally the distance is small and familiar, although many say it’s far. Along the way we picked up fruit or stopped at 7/11. Next to the hotel there is a large and uncrowded 7/11, which is also a plus, there are a lot of cafes and all sorts of merchants on the street, there is a temple nearby, where every Tuesday and Friday there is a huge market where you can buy inexpensive souvenirs))
