  Be vigilant-room service check scam

  I ordered a room service (from the hotel restaurant Booster) meal for 110 baht. I paid with a 1000 note (the ONLY note I had) but got back change for 500. I immediately called after the room service attendant (Mr.Natthapol, who is also the "Assistant Manager" of the hotel restaurant, but he was long gone, so I called down to the front desk and told them what happened right away. Mr. Kaewlamul, the hotel front desk manager, told me by phone he would return my money to me that night. I waited in the lobby for him, then I received another call and he said he was not coming and he was not going to return the money to me. As a seasoned traveler, it is rare that I am a victim of something like this. If you stay here, please be more vigilant than I was. I dropped my guard for but a moment, and this is what occurred. PS-We chose this hotel because it has a kitchen. It turns out that we are not permitted to use it! Why stay in a "residence" aparthotel if you are not permitted to use the kitchen?

  Worst stay in the whole Thailand trip

  This property was our last stop on a 17 day round trip through thailand. Sadly from all the places we stayed this one is the worst,upon our arrival we checked in our room just to find out that our safe wasn't working so we called the reception and they assured us to send a staff member to check,after 30 minutes no one showed up so we had to call yet again the front and after another 10 minutes finally someone showed up to change the empty battery in the safe (sadly enough it wasn't checked before!) The room it self was not very clean and most stuff in the bathroom was broken or close to break,obviously not much maintenance going on at this room. But the most saddest part was not the room but the pool,since there are many other guest in this hotel and she to me not feeling confident wearing a bikini in public I went swimming in bathing shorts and a tight shirt(which in all previously hotels wasn't any problem!) The first day no one bothered about it but the second day as my friends family came to visit us (what we asked if it is allowed at check in and which was told us as it being allowed) I was in a very rude way told that I'm not allowed to wear those clothes at the pool the day before no one complained but strangely the day my friends family came it was a problem. The staff explanation that it's not allowed because the salt water is to expensive clearly was just an excuse since the pool is more chlorine than salt water! I certainly not recommend this hotel and get can say I'm beyond disappointed with this residence and the way we did get treated! Oh and if you want a second pillow,since the one they give you is really small and not very comfortable prepared to pay 200 thb extra per night!

  Nice venue, clean, safe but remote

  Stayed here for a couple of nights in Jan 2019, whilst visiting the nearby AIT campus. Location was good for AIT although taxi rides to the campus took at least 20 minutes (because of road routings). Room was very large, clean and well fitted out. Breakfast was interesting, half of the buffet was outside and the other half inside. Fresh fruit, cereals, buffet meals all offered, but I found them all quite bland and tasteless. Dinner however was much better - I sat at the outdoor dining area near the pool and had grilled seafood - yummo! Unfortunately the local mosquitos dined on purple_traveller that night - even with dozens (yes dozens) of citronella candles and coils burning around the dining area. Grilled squid and prawns were so tasty - I endured a second night of mozzies to dine there. Staff and service was very good, albeit a little robotic. Would consider staying here again, should I need to visit AIT again.

  Nice facilities, if you can find ways to get there

  Beautiful place, once you were inside the compound; but, boy, was it difficult to find. Should you depend on 7-11 for supplies, be prepared to walk a kilometer, past parked buses, to the main road. Would not recommend to tourists without means of local transport.

  ASQ Stay at This Hotel

  The property itself is very nice, I enjoyed the room and the service provided was beyond my expectation. What gave me an issue was for someone suffering a mental disorder the hotel has denied me from leaving the room for the first day and I had to call the ministry of public health to tell to hotel to give me permission to have my free space in the garden. The food would have a score of a 4/10 as since I was a pescatarian I was not able to eat a lot what is on the menu and if they don't have anything to replace my meal with, they would always make the same meal: Fish in Spinach. I have eaten the same fish in Spinach dish over 6 times in my 14 days here. You also get 3 meals (which is understandable) but the portion is very and I cannot express this enough VERY small, I wasn't able to last 2 hours without feeling hungry again. The room-service menu is extremely expensive (120THB for a Mixed Vegetable Salad) and upon asking the staff why it is expensive the blame it on the 17% Vat and Service cost (so in theory 100THB for a Veg Salad). So please avoid the room service. One other service they provide for ASQ staying guests is the 7-11 service but with a catch: your minimum purchase from the 7-11 is 100THB + the delivery service of 100THB + (This is the most messed up of all) the 17% VAT and Service! This would also be a service that I do not recommend
