At The Hotel
by Nia, Indonesia - Apr 16, 2011

Honestly, I pick this hotel amost instantly because it's very cheap. And since we wre going to stay fot 1 night, it won't be a bother to stay at this hotel. When I arrived at bangkok, the guide asked me why do I choose this hotel. Then I answered him, that since it's cheap I choose this hotel. Afterwards, I asked him why did he ask about this. He answered that (usually) in his office they always check the hotel location, etc before offering them to the customers. And, when I arrive there I finally realize. This hotel location is very secluded. I look around and all i see is an empty street. Lucky that I arrive at night so that I don't have to stay long at the hotel. The 1st problem is : The lack of English. The receptionist couldn't speak English at all. Lucky that I got my local guide with me and he explained everything to her. But later when I want to use the internet (which is for free anyway), and I phones her she didn't respond quickly (almost looked very uncomfortable) called her other friend to answer my question. So yeah, she won't give you the information that you need if you expect her to answer it in English. The room is big. But very old fashioned, the AC was good. But the bathroom...hm, the toilet was broken. And the public toilet located in the receptionist were also the same. And the hygiene wasn't really acceptable. My mother pretty okay about the size of the room and the bed. But about the other thing, she was really concerned. And I do feel sorry for booking this hotel for my mother. In conclusion, if you have more money just go somewhere elese (at least until this hotel got renovated and renewed - which I don't see happening).
