Inconsistent Quality at This Hotel

broken air conditioning hard pillow

The lack of air conditioning was a major issue. I discovered the unit in my room did not function. I found this unacceptable considering the room rate I paid. The provided fan offered little relief from the heat. the pillows were excessively firm. This contributed to a very poor night's sleep.

I found the location excellent for exploring local attractions. The building and grounds are beautiful (I especially enjoyed the garden view). The spa upgrade proved worthwhile with hydrotherapy rooms.

I observed a high number of guests in robes around the hotel. It was quite crowded.

the room had a beautiful garden view. the breakfast offered many vegan options without me asking. the staff were excellent and always cute.

i found that i had to pay extra for spa access, which wasn't much of a spa. the first room given to me had net curtains that seemed very old. the pillow in the first room was stained and the bathroom floor was wet.

attentive staff friendly staff perfect pressure hydrotherapy pool grotty chairs website photo front garden

I booked the Lampang afternoon spa day for myself and a friend. The facilities were great. We spent most of our day in the hydrotherapy pool. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Our massages were great too, the pressure was perfect, and I felt refreshed afterwards.

The website says to park temporarily at the main front door to drop off bags. I arrived and found wedding guests occupying most of the front garden and driveway. I was unable to park and drop off my bags. The roof terrace furniture is not what is shown on the website photo. It is grotty wooden chairs now. I saw cobwebs in the windows.
