Tonngern Hotel 후기

For the low price, I thought it deserves 4 stars but changed my mind after completing the stay. There are definitely good things that make it competitive in town. The hotel is newish. The lobby has a common area to work (if you don't mind being in a public area to work). The room is reasonably comfortable with a large TV and built-in hair dryer. There are around 150 TV channels and this hotel must be congratulated for providing some foreign-language channels in their original language. You can at least watch a few Hollywood movies in English, though the vast majority are still dubbed in Thai. This is highly unusual for a 3-star hotel, what more when the guests are 100% locals. The bathroom is adequate, though the shower is only very partially covered, resulting in water being splashed across the whole bathroom. The main problem is noise -- not from outside the building but from inside. The walls are super-thin. Even though my room was at the other end of the hallway from the lift, any time anyone walks out of the lift or opens any room door, it is loudly heard. The TV in the next room is also loudly heard. I had to use earplugs to sleep every single night, despite the hotel being in a very quiet area away from a side road. The other issue is that the staff are unfriendly -- both reception and housekeeping. They really seem unhappy to work here. Breakfast is typical inedible Thai 3-star hotel type. Overall, it is an OK place to stay, with some perks, if just looking for a cheap place to stay while on business -- almost all guests seem to be on business, or on the merit-making trail.
