Really good rooms, good size, very clean and well maintained. Feels a bit weird when you first get in due to the shape of the building, but soon got used to it. Common areas and pool very quiet and nicely kept. The plunge pool and hot bath was a bonus, shame the sauna and steam room weren't quite ready for use as currently being refurbes, but looked great. The bar on the top deck is worth a visit for the view. Good location, easy to walk to Kata and Kata Noi beach.

Great hotel and we loved spending time in our pool, breakfast was great, proximity to the beach and shops was a 3 minute walk, workout room was tiny however, climbing the hill to and from the hotel was enough of a workout that we needed.

We were not satisfied with our stay. Our room was extremely far from the lobby and was located at the very end of the property. To reach the room, we had to change elevators twice and then walk up 63 stairs. It took approximately 7 minutes to walk from our room down to the courtyard, which was very inconvenient. Inside the room, there was a serious hygiene issue. There were larvae everywhere. I removed many of them, but they kept coming back, which was very unpleasant. The room layout also did not make sense. The sinks were placed outside of the bathroom, which felt impractical and confusing. On a positive note, the staff were kind and polite, which we appreciated. However, overall, the stay did not meet our expectations.

Dated hotel, but still a good stay

We spent 4 nights here while staying in Kata and had a pretty good time. My main criticisms are that the hotel is a little dated and needs some restoration. We also had issues with the wifi, which was out for an entire day. The rooms are super comfy and the bathroom is great, but we feel the hotel may have been a casualty of Covid. Cleanliness was generally great, but we did discover two dead roaches in the room after returning from outside. Note as well that the hotel is up on a hillside, so be prepared to walk up a bit when returning.

Et hotell som ligger fint til/nær strand og hovedgate. Renhold litt labert. Dvs ikke møkkete, men kunne vært bedre. Måtte bytte rom pga lukt/støy fra aircondition, men de var veldig imøtekommende.

Le nettoyage laisse, des jours, à désirer! Mais hôtel très bien situé! Il ne correspond ni à un 4 ou 5*. Il mérite un petit rafraîchissement!

"Has been" hotel...mauvais management :plus jamais

Séjour d'une semaine sur place. Je ne suis pas du genre à mettre des notes passables,mais dans ce cas là,je me dois de le faire pour avertir les personnes exigeantes. Hôtel certainement très bien il y a 20 ans,mais pas du tout de nos jours.(standards dépassés) Hôtel surnoté par d autres clients,à croire qu'ils n ont jamais connu mieux... Côtés positifs:hôtel proche de tout à pied:plage de Kata,magasins,restaurants,animation locale. Côtés négatifs :hôtel très difficile d'accès pour personnes à mobilité réduite,chambre et mobilier usagés/viellots. En pleine journée,campagne d'éradication de moustiques(gaz nocif) sans avoir averti la clientèle :c est honteux.(intoxication) Au petit matin(09h30),à deux reprises : rotofil à moteur thermique qui reveillent les clients (d habitude,cela se fait avec un rotofil électrique,bien davantage silencieux; ou à la main....) Management averti mais se moque du bien-être de la clientèle.S excuse constamment mais ne fait rien concrètement. Pas assez de transats au bord de la piscine. Sur place,service de location de scooters proposant des scooteurs très vieux et en mauvais état. Je passe d autres faits négatifs. 60€/jours sans petit dej: trop cher pour le peu de prestations. Clientèle chinoise et russe trop bruyante. Bref,je n y retournerai pas.Y'a mieux sur Kata et à des tarifs inférieurs. Très déçu d'avoir choisi cet hôtel en ayant suivi les avis de certains clients "hotels.com"
