A Mansion Hotel

la chambre

que la chambre ne soit pas faite durant notre séjour / clim trop bruyante

The room was quite basic, but nice and very clean. The bed was comfy, the view from the window was a green garden and palms. The bathroom seems to be old, but also ok. The water was always warm as there is a heater. A fan is working perfectly, totally enough for this room. Have mosquito nets. WiFi connection was good, I could even use it across the street. They cleaned the room every day, put free bottles of water. The hotel is very close to pier, from where you can take a boat to Railay beach (around 3-5 mins walk), quiet street with many cafes and bars. Motorbike rental is just around the corner. And try local food at Lay Lanta cafe across the road - the owner is super nice and friendly, the food is cheap and delicious))

The two things we didn’t like were: 1. Loud bar right next to the hotel. They put the dance music every night at least until 11 p.m. For me personally it wasn’t a big deal as I fall asleep not earlier than that time and I’m pretty ok with noise. But for many people, especially for elder or families with kids that would be an issue. Although it’s not the hotel’s fault for sure. 2. Ants. One even bite me :( No serious harm, just tiny ones, but not very pleasant anyway. I am pretty sure, the staff is trying to get rid of them every cleaning time. Anyways, they come again and again. Make sure you don’t keep any open food in the room.

- very quiet, we could not hear the road - free hot water available in the lobby area - comfy bed - shower with hot water - good location with plenty of shops and restaurants. The bus from the airport dropped us off 100 metres from the hotel. 5 minutes walk to the pier and night market. - free water in the room - good air conditioning

- the bathroom was very dated (lots of mould) and needs refreshing

Although it was easy walking distance to the centre of town it was very quiet. The room was reasonably clean though I requested some extra cleaning. The AC was cool the wifi dropped out once in a while but pretty typical of Asia. As mentioned in another review don’t leave valuables in your room. I left an inexpensive necklace and it disappeared. My electronics etc I always brought with me or left in a secure locker in the lobby. The staff were friendly, cleaned my room daily or as often as I asked. Stayed for a few weeks and much of the time I had the top floor to myself. Nice walk along the river, short walk to the night market and short distance to the beach shuttle. I would recommend it as an affordable, relatively clean safe place for a solo traveler.
