Baan Bandalay Hotel

They don’t help us to remove those hair inside toilet even when we request for room cleaning service. Please improve on this.

Good staf

First of all hat tip to the housekeeping staff - they always waited for the guests to leave the room. We wouldn't even know they were there if there weren't always two bottles of mineral water, towels and a made bed waiting for us after the whole day. The rooms are spacious and tidy albeit a tad dated. The food in the restaurant deserves a chance - it's nice to eat from porcelain after a whole week of street food and it's really good. The rest of the hotel staff are very helpful and never forget to greet you with a smile. If you plan on staying a bit longer or have already been backpacking - do yourself the favor of using the hotel laundry service. It costs little over a dollar or one euro for two lbs./1kg of laundry that gets properly washed and folded and smells of fresh detergent. Add 50 cents to have it ironed. It's located near a good food market where you can get stuffed with Thai specialties for very little money. There's also a scooter rental place - travel to the Dragons Cave and other attraction with it, it's a great way to spend a day or two and costs around 5 euros/6 dollars a day plus some fuel (negligible cost).

It was my second time staying in this hotel. Great location, good access to shops, restaurants and beach. Rooms been updated and has all what you need for short stay. Breakfast was really nice and good quality. Staff members were friendly and helpful. One down side was our room was above the restaurant, so we could not enjoy the balcony as much, as food smells were too strong.

I truly don't understand why this place doesn't have all 5 stars! It is absolutely beautiful and close to the beach and street of markets! When we walked in, we we're given this delicious drink with an orchid in the glass. Everyone we encountered was so nice and helpful! They have a great selection of Western breakfast downstairs in their restaurant which we ate each morning. The room was beautiful and had all that we needed, including a fridge. I highly, highly recommend this hotel, especially for the price!
