We just loved it here. So much character and history which makes it stand out from large corporate and package hotels.. Everything about it ticked all of the boxes for us.

Hotel and services are generally on high quality, as expected. However, the hotel did not return the deposit reservation which they charged on check-in (on top of the advance payment of the rooms reservation), in timely manner.

Lovely colonial hotel, but in need of updating without spoiling this feel. Pools are tired and rooms need upgrading to include USB points and sockets that are usable. Staff are all very attentive. Facilties are good. Food and drink are unnecessarily expensive which doesn't encourage you to stay in.

Returned to this hotel for the first time in 10 years - last visited when it was a Sofitel. It is definitely the best place to stay in Hua Hin - very central but with great beach access, it has beautiful spacious grounds so even at peak season does not feel crowded. The rooms are very comfortable, with good storage and space - we were in two different types during our stay and while the more expensive one had a few extras (coffee machine, separate bath and shower) they were both lovely, with great views of the ocean from the spacious verandah, nice beds and good aircon. Breakfast buffet was excellent - very wide range of fresh food. Service throughout was very good - from housekeeping to restaurant to the pool team (who had sunbed management beautifully under control with everyone getting what they wanted! It is very spacious!). Decent gym with mixture of machines and weights that satisfies holiday fitness maintenance. All meant a wonderfully relaxing holiday and will definitely be returning. Read less

Unquestionably the best hotel in Hua Hin, and I have stayed in a few. Vast, exquisite gardens, beautifully maintained, like a capital city’s parkland. Charming, friendly, and helpful staff.

Unquestionably the best hotel in Hua Hin, and I have stayed in a few. Vast, exquisite gardens, beautifully maintained, like a capital city’s parkland. Charming, friendly, and helpful staff. Beautiful location, right on the beach, with many swimming pools. Some ideal for families and children, some ideal for adult lane swimming. All set in a stunning environment. This will be my go-to hotel in future when I visit Thailand. Read less
