Ruean Thai Hotel

Advantages: Beautiful exterior, warm service Disadvantages: 1. Extremely small room, outdated facilities, dim lighting, wooden windows without screens, windows facing the swimming pool (cannot be opened to let in mosquitoes and noise), lack of privacy. The furniture looks 20 years old, like a hostel in a Chinese county town from the 1980s; there was even a sewing machine in the room. 2. The water was extremely yellow! Absolutely undrinkable, even brushing my teeth felt unsafe. 3. The room's electrical wiring was old and poorly designed; I had to move the bed to charge my devices. 4. The courtyard and restaurant looked fine for photos, but the rooms were a huge problem—dirty and dimly lit. 5. There are absolutely no amenities near the hotel; forget about eating or shopping. The hotel's own restaurant is overpriced and the portions are small. It takes over 20 minutes to get to the old town by taxi, and the hotel closes at 10 pm. The city feels like a run-down county town from the 1980s, and getting a taxi is very difficult.

The room was very interestingly designed and I had a great time. I'd like to go again with friends. The breakfast was also delicious. 

The hotel we stayed in this time was incredibly remote! The Grab taxi twisted and turned into a narrow alley, and I never imagined there was a hotel hidden there. Upon arrival, I had a hard time finding the front desk; it was tucked away in a small, unassuming building. Check-in was even more problematic. After handing my passport to the staff, he didn't even check my online reservation and simply checked us in as an on-site check-in, even asking for payment. Finally, I showed him my Ctrip confirmation in English, and he only then began processing my Ctrip booking. This process was incredibly irregular, and I hope they can improve. The hotel's exterior is a real plus, embodying a rich Sukhothai historical atmosphere. It's relaxing and relaxing, and strolling through it was a delight. However, the room amenities were a complete disappointment. Each bed was fitted with a mosquito net, reflecting the prevalence of mosquitoes, but the nets kept falling apart and had holes in them. Even with the "protection" of the nets, I woke up the next day covered in insect bites, which severely impacted my sleep quality. Upon arrival, I was too tired to go out, so I ate at the hotel restaurant. I ordered Sukhothai rice noodles, which were surprisingly sweet, but it was a taste of local flavor. Breakfast was also unique: it wasn't a buffet, but rather an à la carte menu. Upon arrival, I was given a small card and ordered the bacon combo, but ended up receiving two meals. One was the standard breakfast, which included fruit, juice, coffee, and toast butter. It wasn't on the menu, so it seemed like a default combination. The other was the bacon combo I ordered, and it was so filling that I almost stuffed myself. This stay was a mixed experience. The exterior and the special meals were pleasant, but the chaotic check-in process and the poor room amenities were disappointing. I hope the hotel can address these shortcomings and improve the overall experience!
