Trang Hotels with Balcony

"This hotel feels like it's on the outskirts of the city, and the area around it is a bit dirty and run-down. It's quite a walk to the main tourist attractions downtown, so we had to take a taxi everywhere. The room itself was small and cramped, no more than 20 square meters, with three beds squeezed in side-by-side and no space between them. There wasn't enough furniture to put our belongings on, which was inconvenient. While there was a glass panel, the window couldn't be opened, and it just looked out onto a corridor. The soundproofing was poor; being close to the road, we constantly heard roaring traffic, and noises from guests in adjacent rooms and the hallway were easily audible. The bathroom didn't have a separate wet/dry area, so the floor easily got wet. There was hardly any space to put towels—in fact, the hotel had to place our bath towels on the bed rather than in the bathroom, which is unusual. The towels also looked a bit grubby and slightly frayed. Adding to the inconvenience, the hotel has no elevator. We had heavy luggage and had to carry it up the stairs ourselves, which was quite a struggle. The front desk staff tried to help during check-in, but the young woman couldn't lift it, and there were no male staff members available to assist. On a positive note, the female service staff were very friendly. Also, there's a thoughtful self-service station on each floor hallway with free coffee and bottled water, which was convenient. Despite the hotel's attempt at a 'hipster' design aesthetic, it felt like it was all style over substance."

"Very good value for money. Staff was very nice and was always making sure we didn’t need anything. It’s very central walking distance to laundry, 7-Eleven, petrol station, restaurants and not too far from the train station and night markets. Spacious rooms."
