Ban Chang Tong

Nestled in a convenient locale, this charming hotel radiates old-world calm and character. Its expansive public areas boast generous seating and varied lounging spots, creating an inviting, relaxed atmosphere. However, I found the room to be a bit of a letdown compared to the spaciousness of the common areas. It was small, with room for improvement. While the bedding, bed and bath linen, and amenities were good, the lack of closet space and the tiny in-room safe, were notable drawbacks, especially for those planning longer stays. Additionally, while the absence of USB ports isn’t an issue, the placement of power sockets were a bit inconvenient. The bathroom also left something to be desired. It could benefit from hooks for hanging clothes; and the shower, which is sunken and features a steep step down, does pose a challenge for guests with mobility concerns. Although the bathroom was clean, the poor lighting, dark grey concrete walls and shower floor gives a less than fresh impression. Better lighting, particularly above the sink and shower, and perhaps a brighter wall would be good. It’s worth mentioning that the room does not feature a window. However, the wooden-framed glass panels (entrance ‘wall’ and door), allow light in when the curtains are drawn back - though this also means reduced privacy, as the room becomes visible from outside. Despite these drawbacks, I was able to make the most of things and enjoyed my stay...but may consider other options next time.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Location was central to restaurants and cafes.

Good value and good location

Warm welcome from staff on arrival and all through our stay. Clean room. Nice size bed. Decent choice at breakfast. Cold pool for chilling after hit busy days sightseeing. Lovely, traditional teak house hotel - calm and quiet even though on a main one-way street. Well located for visiting sights, markets, night bazaar.

This was my second time staying here. Nice location right on the main street. This hotel has a nice old style field to it. My room phone doesn't work at all, was told by the front desk that this happened to most of the room. They need a good electrician. My shower drain also slow, especially when I wash my hair and the soap scum stayed. It drains slowly so I shut off the water then turn it on again once it all drained. Overall it was a nice stayed except for my last night I got disturbed by another traveler next door. He complains that the TV in my room was too loud for him to sleep. I told him I have it on volume 8-10, which it is pretty low. He keeps knocking on the wall several times before he came out of his room to confront me. I advised him to get an ear plugs since all the hotel has a thin wall. As a traveler he should know better. I am a light sleeper so I do hear everything. The bed is comfortable. I leave one of the panel door to the bathroom open since it does smell moldy when it is all closed up. I have asthma so I am sensitive to the smell as well.
