Service
The front desk and housekeeping staff provided great service — polite, friendly, and always smiling. However, there was one incident at the restaurant that left me a bit disappointed.
On the first evening, my family and I planned to have dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. When we arrived, I noticed two staff members lying on the sofa inside the restaurant. At first, I wasn’t sure if they were employees, so I asked about the corkage fee for bringing our own wine. The staff informed me that there would be a 50 THB charge for the ice bucket, and that drinking wine inside the restaurant was not allowed — only in the guest room. I agreed and walked away.
After that, I noticed the same two staff members went back to lie down on the sofa again, which didn’t look appropriate and left a poor impression.
Later, I called room service to order food and requested an ice bucket with two wine glasses. The staff confirmed and brought the ice bucket, but without the glasses. When I called again to ask, they told me, “We don’t have wine glasses.”
That was quite surprising, as a hotel that provides wine service would normally have wine glasses available.
Overall, I really liked the hotel — the location, the cleanliness, and the atmosphere were all excellent. However, the restaurant staff’s behavior and attention to detail should be improved to better reflect the standard of such a nice hotel.
I truly hope the management will take this feedback into consideration to enhance the guest experience even further. 🌿"
