I get a bit disappointed with the usual corporate' type of hotels and wanted to stay somewhere that had a little character.this family run hotel does what many 'big' hotels fail to deliver - the feeling you are truly welcome, at home..This hotel doesn't have to try too hard to be a very good hotel.
The hotel is quite large but with not too many rooms - i think about 35 in total. the deluxe room we stayed in was enormous -probably the biggest hotel room i have stayed ! enormous bed, large bathroom, tv,tea/coffeee, etc -very nicely decorated - in a spanish villa style.
the swimming pool and gardens area are very pleasant.. Again its a relaxed feeling to be there.
the owners are truly nice people. its no act of theres to be at your service, and the staff are great and look relaxed and happy to be working there..
the location of the hotel is in a quiet soi about 5 mins and 100 baht (2 pounds) from the nighlife/central are of hua hin. easy to get to by tuk tuk/taxi, and the hotel order these for you.
There is a large-ish shopping centre about a 15 minute walk and the night market is near there too.
ofcourse this hotel will not be for everybody. it quiet. relaxed.Generally, the people staying were older travellers. not club 18-30 type of place!
some people may not like is that there is no lift -but not a problem as staff assist with luggage etc
if you want family run, not in the middle of the noisy/lively areas hotel this hotel should be considered.
i would recommend this hotel and will be returning as soon as possible.
