Baan 2459

Very comfortable suite in an old house renovated and tastefully decorated A café in the garden where you can have breakfast but there are also very nice options in the neighborhood The Chinatown district is very vibrant and there are great restaurants but also cultural activities within walking distance Wifi was not working during our visit

A pretty old renovated house, we had a large room (a suite) certainly, but it is absolutely not a four star. It's vaguely a cafe that rents rooms: check in only between 3pm and 7pm (!). The cafe staff is very nice but they don't speak English, didn't carry our suitcases, and didn't even clean the room... From 7 p.m. there is no one left, so it's better don't need anything. We left at 6am in a taxi without anyone noticing. What bothered me most is that the windows are very fragile and just close with a small metal tab. Not secure at all, and not soundproof either. Even if it's away from the main street, you can hear the backfires of motorcycles, even with hearing protection. The Venetian blinds let light through, even at night (there are outdoor spotlights. ). Abstain from light sleep. And from 6am it's really noisy. I think it's better to come and visit Chinatown but not try to sleep there, actually. My advice: double glazing and hotel service are to be expected, otherwise you have to reclassify as a "family pension" or "gîte" and reduce the price by half.
