SPB Paradise

Average .. arrived early .. no attempt to welcome (e.g. I'll let you know as soon as a room is cleaned) Offers golf cart to station but no clear directions as to where to meet it - even Thai friends were not sure - and we ended up walking - not actually far, but offered service was not useful ..

Check in was good. Room was as expected. The bathroom was sub par. First thing noticed was the shower height rail wouldn't adjust and the bar was only attached by 1 of the 2 supports. Later it was found that the basin drain pipe leaked every time water ran through it.

Arrived at midnight. Reception was open to us at least. Deposit was 500 THB not 300 THB. At entering our room there was a musty smell but after the air-con had been running for awhile this seemed to dissipate ( or we just got used to it ). the fridge supplied was the smallest I have seen and the shower was not adjustable for height and the height rail was detached from the wall at the bottom. The only other thing was the bed was what I would call extra firm which I could live with but my partner did not enjoy. For the price its a good stay apart from the needed repairs needed in the shower.

Reception not happy and showed sour face when asked if can check-in earlier. Grumbled to colleague in Thai in front of guests in lobby.

7-10 Pro: location near to MRT, near street food stall & 7-11, they had golf buggies to send u to the neighborhood area. Con: Hotel quite old, wall paint crack, tv faulty, very old AC, position directly beside bed when the vent could not adjust blowing away from the bed. Dont allow food delivery to send to room, everything chargeable (etc extra pillow) not allow to check out 1 hr late, staff are not friendly (when checking in 3 staff was busy chatting, when checking out staff wont bother to acknowledge my question)
