RT KhaoLak Hotel

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Rezeption und Zimmerservice

Three nights here scheduled at last minute after a major travel change. The road out front is a three lane highway separated by a divider plus a bike lane. Typically this would be a nightmare for me but I asked the manager for a fan and she lent me one that was on the noisy side which was great for me. I’m a “white noise” guy and can’t sleep in silence. I don’t want to hear motorcycles racing at 2am either and there was a little of that but not a lot. I requested a corner unit in the back away from the street and I got it. I don’t believe the hotel was anywhere near capacity (24 rooms ?) as I rarely saw or heard anyone; it was quiet. The location isn’t prime to anything except an excellent, affordable dinner restaurant. For Western breakfast I walked 20 minutes every morning to the touristy street that is wall to wall bars, restaurants & massage. My room was large, clean w/good a/c & good hot water. I was very happy with it. My only disappointment was I needed some help from the manager who emphasized day one she would take care of me. By checkout day she was singing a different tune and said “you’re on your own.” I just spent a month traveling through 10 cities in Vietnam and I counted on hotel front desk to help me make my connections and they were amazing. I really felt this was lazy, thoughtless and lacking of pride. But the room was great. If you don’t need help with anything, this is the hotel for you. I have to add, I wasn’t even offered a taxi as I left.

This was great value. Just stayed 1 night when our hotel was full. It was about 750 baht a night, one of the cheapest, we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was large, at the back with a view of palm trees and jungle but on the main road so near everything. Bed big and comfy, fridge, good air con and shower gel and soap. Would stay again
