Stayed here 6th September 2021 & we will not be returning.
We have over the years stayed here whilst visiting my mother-in-law. The staff, Thai food, overnight stay & breakfast used to be lovely, however, the last couple of years the service has got worse. Our last visit in September was disappointing, we had booked a meal & had to remind staff after half an hour we hadn't received our drinks. We then had another long wait until our meals came.
Walking into the room there was a strong smell of foist, the bathroom was dirty & the bed was so lumpy & hard. Next morning I was going to put on the

We stayed in the family room and were really impressed with the layout and features. Having kitchen facilities made a world of difference for our children. We ate in the star of Siam as well which was lovely, would definitely go back again. Only small negatives are the slightly slower than average service, both on reception and in the restaurant. This may just be down to lack of staff. Would also recommend opening for breakfast until 10:00/11:00 as 9 was far too early for us so we ate breakfast elsewhere. Will 100% be back again and fully recommend!

I probably had a different experience to most at this hotel as I had noise issues. Staff tried, but couldn't find where the strange and annoying sound was coming from. This caused me to have a poor night's sleep. Staff were courteous and helpful and my evening meal in their Tai restaurant was very nice indeed. I stayed in a refurbished balcony room (no 6) which looked out over open countryside and it was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. If you are a very light sleeper I would think the busy road at the front of the hotel, might cause a problem (there is a road both at the front and rear
