Lamai Hotel

“Great Value”

I booked a deal though Agoda at 500 baht per night and was not expecting too much, however, I was pleasantly surprised.

I booked a deal though Agoda at 500 baht per night and was not expecting too much, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Whilst the Lammai Hotel has undoubtably seen better days it still has a lot to offer. Strategically located, within easy walking distance of all the main attractions, shopping, bars, restaurants, night cubs etc 500 baht per night represented tremendous value. My room had all the requirements for a comfortable stay. Fitted out in typical old Thai style the room was spacious, airy and clean. Everything worked as it should. The shower is in the bath, not particular to my liking but quite common in older hotels. Plenty of cupboard space, room safe, and an area to set up a laptop. WIFI worked ok as did the AC. Tea and coffee making amenities provided. The balcony was a good size to sit and watch the world go by. Only real issue in the room was the bed which was not really comfortable, far too firm for my liking. Hotel staff were friendly and there is a little bar attached to the front of the hotel where you can enjoy a drink. Overall a pleasant stay and for those on a budget a good option, especially considering the location.

“Stayed 7 nights - Unhappy Staff ”

So I stayed here a week. I have good news and I have bad news. Good news —The room was fine, housekeeping everyday, bed sheets and pillow cases changed everyday, a/c was good, hot water showers were good, 2 free bottles of water daily. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Bad news — I think the… more

So I stayed here a week. I have good news and I have bad news. Good news —The room was fine, housekeeping everyday, bed sheets and pillow cases changed everyday, a/c was good, hot water showers were good, 2 free bottles of water daily. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Bad news — I think the room is overpriced for what you get. During my 7 days I did check other hotels nearby with the same quality for 25% less in cost. The wifi is not a secure network and is spotty. I had a Thai SIM card, used that exclusively in the hotel. What was the most disturbing during my stay, the staff. I checked in late, around 8pm, when I arrived the guy at the front desk just looked at me as if wondering what I wanted. When I said I was checking in, he said Oh. Looked up my reservation, and gave me the key to the room. No instructions, no welcome, no nothing. In the 7 days of me coming and going several times a day, not one friendly face. Not one good morning. Not one hello. They obviously are not happy in their job. Thailand is supposedly The Land of Smiles. Well the employees at this hotel apparently didn’t get the memo. For this reason, I would not stay here again.

“Decent location”

We were on the 4th floor, at the front of building. The 5th floor was an used floor and the roof top left to go messy.

We were on the 4th floor, at the front of building. The 5th floor was an used floor and the roof top left to go messy. Cleaner comes in but basically just makes the bed gives towels. the window had a smear and wall some food stains, was not wiped the whole stay. The staff were mostly sleeping or just ignored us when going in or out when they can be bothered spoke to you. As they moved us there from previous hotel it was slightly better located and cleaner. not much improvement. Same set up take your payment within 24 hours hotel pictures years out of date. A couple of people from the Spa spoke made visit better.
