HON FAI
February 10, 2025
advantage:
1. There is a 24-hour 7-11 within a 2-minute walk. There is a large shopping mall next to it with many food options and a supermarket.
2. The cleaning staff is very friendly and cleans carefully every day
3. Dan at the front desk is very friendly
4. The bathtub is quite large
5. There is a terrace, which is convenient for hanging clothes and they dry quickly.
shortcoming:
1. The hotel customer service is very difficult to communicate with. They only speak simple English and only reply once every two days.
2. As the flight arrived in the early morning, I wanted to book the hotel's airport transfer service. At first they said it would cost 2,500 baht. Later I took a screenshot and showed them the official website which said it was 1,500. Then they said sorry, it would be 1,500 for a car and 2,000 for a van. It seemed like they were trying to scam tourists. Finally, I made an appointment for Klook airport pick-up service and picked up the door card from the security guard who didn't speak English well when I arrived.
3. The facilities are outdated and it feels like staying in a hotel 15 years ago. The door card often fails and there is only a fan when waiting for the elevator. The suite I stayed in said it had a kitchen but in fact it only had an old ceramic stove and an old toaster, without any kitchenware or tableware. It was very inconvenient. I don't know why it was called a kitchen. I felt cheated. The hair dryer is also a 2000 model and is difficult to use.
4. The swimming pool is on the rooftop of the office building next door and has limited opening hours.
5. We were arranged to stay in room 803A on the top floor. The view was nice, but the air conditioner was very old and noisy, making it difficult to fall asleep. Also, there were strange banging noises at night, which were very disturbing and kept me awake all night. The sound insulation from the neighbors is not good either.
6. Mosquitoes will fly in.
7. It takes 10-20 minutes to walk between two BTS stations, so it is not recommended to bring the elderly with you.
8. There are basically not many restaurants on the street. When I come back at night, there is only one restaurant and some roadside stalls.
9. There are 2 washing machines and 2 dryers on the first floor, each costs 80 baht. It is not convenient to go up and down so I have never used them.
Really try to avoid it, everyone.
