Hotels near Wat Pa Kaeo, Chanthaburi

Reason for stay Was attending a wedding in the area and the reception was at the hotel in the evening. Parking Was adequate and seemed to have a security guard. Arrival Receptionist spoke ok English and we were helped with the bags to the room. Room Basic room. No tea or coffee making facilities. Comfortable bed. Clean bathroom and room. View was of parking and police building. Pool Didn’t get opportunity to use but seemed well maintained. Restaurant First night we ate outside and had the BBQ chicken skewers on offer. A little concerned that the meat and seafood was displayed outside but it was on ice and didn’t cause us any tummy issues. Did see 1 cockroach but otherwise everything was clean and tidy. Lunch- Had burgers which were nice. Breakfast- Traditional Thai breakfast which was ok. Overall staff could do with learning more English as there was difficulty ordering. Wedding Was held in one of the ballrooms. Food was lovely and wedding seemed to go without a hitch. Obviously the hotel is used to hosting big weddings.

What a bad hotel could be from a level of 4* to a price of 2* with just a little service like a laundry service, a even paying shuttle to go to the old town (2kms), bikes, a place or take a hot drink on the edge of the very chlorious swimming pool a international TV channel of the better placed showers because next to the reception without any intimacy like the pool face to the lobby, Finally a staff speaking well English at least at reception... But it is a beautiful hotel with style, quiet with rooms side river offering in excellent comfort ( bed-draps-sdb-balcon-wifi-deco) good breakfast served on the base, resting frame and staff Devote ( spoke a bit of Thai help).

We had a coffee in the room with two bottles of water per day, a small refrigerator and the wifi worked well. The hotel was very comfortable and the hotel was very comfortable. The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable. There is a parking in front of the hotel where we could park our rented bike safely with a night and day garden. We enjoyed the lift because with the outside heat, climbing can become a disgusting exercise. The air conditioning worked well in our room. Breakfast is served from 6:00 to 10:00 on the second floor. We will return to the hotel without hesitation. We have photos to offer. Opinion made on July 6, 2019 in Salaberry, Valleyfield, Quebec, Canada.

Stayed at this beautiful hotel for 15days during my recent trip to Chanthaburi from 11-26 April 2023. The rooms are superb and the service was impeccable. Reception is always available for any assistance. Security was available throughout the day and night. Chambermaids cleaned the rooms daily (or like me, I kept my room clean so they only came to clean up every 2 days). This hotel is a stone’s throw away from rimnam, the waterfront community. Lots of cafes, restaurants and nightspots for safe and peaceful eating and drinking until 12midnight. Hardly anything negative about this hotel. All good and near perfect. Transportation is easily available via Grab. Or if you rather, the hotel can call for a Mazda to take you wherever you want to go, within the city limits or further away. Central Chanthaburi is only a 66B Grab car ride away. Robinsons is also nearby. There’s a street market that will feed you well, within walking distance. Carpark is ample and readily available for hotel guests and visitors. (Ps if you can play the piano, there’s one at the lobby. Or if you there during the weekends, a pianist entertains your evening)

When I was about to check out, I heard the commotion right outside my room which was on the third floor. When I opened the door, I saw the minor flood over the hallway, caused by the leaking, hanging, pipe. Among a few staffs actively taking care of the flood, a lady turned to me and said ”Please be very careful” so many times with soft, but concerned, voice. What impressed me the most is when she saw that I used the walking stick, she grabbed my arm and helped support me all the way to the elevator. I could tell that she has a genuine heart; very caring and attentive, and I found out later that she is the owner of the hotel, who came to take care of the leaking issue. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you once again to the management and the staff of the hotel, and hope that the leaking problem has been fixed. In addition, I would like to make a note about the breakfast. I love the taste and the idea of bringing local food and dessert to the table. However, if some of the dishes, such as pork noodle and boiled rice, had been served hot, taste would be perfect.

Located near tourist attractions in the city. such as the riverside market, the temple of the Mother Goddess Fountain courtyard and not far from a cafe with delicious food and a good atmosphere, such as Rock espresso. Accommodation is ok. But the room floor is not very clean, there is some dust but it is bearable.

We stopped here for one night with a group of friends on the way to one of the local islands. On the positive side, service was excellent. There is lots of parking. The resort has a very large pool and fitness center. The gardens are beautiful. The decor is of an older, classic style but the property is clean and nicely maintained. They have some special function rooms for large gatherings but we did not see inside them. Our standard room was spacious and clean with a wood floor and a lovely large balcony overlooking the gardens. A large couch and coffee table faced the TV, and there was a work desk and lounging chair situated near the balcony sliding doors. The king bed mattrass was hard as is the rule in Asia. There was an in-room coffee-maker and fridge. Air con worked well and there was an extra large portable floor fan which was handy so that you did not need to have air con on alll the time. Bathroom was quite small but the shower was spacious and had great pressure. Our dinner experience in the in-house restaurant was excellent - menu is extensive, food was delivered quickly and it was very tasty. I appreciated the great vegetarian menu and found the noodle wrapped herb rolls with green sauce particularly tasty. There was a large bar separate from the restaurant but we did not try it. On the negative side, internet was extremely slow and spotty - which made staying in touch with work difficult for us. There was no safe in the room. There are no elevators and this makes it a challenge to get to your room if you are on the second or third floor. Thankfully it was not very busy and the bell staff took care of moving our luggage to the room quickly. In general there are a lot of stairs to navigate so if one is older or has limited mobility this can be a problem. Breakfast was free but it was cold and unappetizing. This could have been due to a power outage that hit the area due a bad thunderstorm, but still, they should not be serving cold food that should be hot. All in all it was still a pleasant stay. But the internet was the dealbreaker for us - if they fix it, we would consider staying here again.

For many years, we have always been happy to finish our 3-month Thai tour to this hotel that is very quiet on the river. The rooms are comfortable and clean, breakfast is mainly oriented to Thai but it is in Thailand and not in Europe. The only negative are the cold eggs, also the prepared meals are not warm but good. Unfortunately, it is not understandable in the restaurant with the English knowledge that you don't want to have the fresh-maked mirror swept on both sides, but that was almost every hotel outside the tourist areas. We simply don't understand why young people don't speak a word English when it is allegedly learned in schools.

We stayed 1 night while on our way to Koh Chang. The location of the hotel (a rundown soi at this moment) does not suggest a ”Boutique” experience, but in fact it was a nice overnight stay. Very friendly staff at reception. We took a room with river-view and balcony. Room was very spacious and all facilities in good working order: enough power-outlets, bedside lights, excellent rainshower. Only thing not working properly was the (small) fridge. there is a nice new promenade that runs alongside the river (accessible from the nice hotel garden), but if you follow it in the direction of the bridge (city-center) it's a dead-end and you need to exit by going back to the hotel or cross a building site. Other side of the bridge is a busy nigh-market with lots of food-stalls, but I recommend the Japanese restaurant on the right side of the road just before you cross the bridge (around the corner of the Robinson Shopping Cr). Excellent japanese food and just a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast (buffet) at the hotel can be taken in the garden. All in all a good deal.

My friends and I visited Baan Rim Ao Resort in August 2019. Baan Rim Ao Resort is a bayside resort located near the Gulf of Thailand and many tourist attractions in Chanthaburi like Old Town Chantaboon Waterfront and The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. For the transportation to the resort, since my friends and I couldn't drive. We took a public transportation to Chanthaburi Bus Terminal. Then, we asked the resort to come pick us up. When we arrived at the resort, we were stunned by the beautiful scenery and the beautiful decoration. Moreover, the sound of the waterfall near the reception made us feel relaxed and so ready for a vacation that we longed for. The hotel's decoration is very simple but stunning. The wall has the quote about vacation painted on it, for example, 'travel more, worry less'. The room was amazing as well. The resort provided everything you wanted such as the fridge, the hairdryer, some snacks, some bottle of water, and television. The bathroom is very clean and quite big as well. The scenery from the room is stunning. We can see the pond of water lilies and the resort's garden which made us feel very relaxed and close to the nature and the swimming pool. The garden has so many place to take a picture and since it is near the bay, it is very windy too! But again, stunning view. The food is quite nice since the resort also has a restaurant called Bang Manao within the resort. Our first dinner there was remarkable. Breakfast was also provided. The resort had variety of food from sticky rice with a grilled pork to a cereal and a salad. Everything was yummy too, impressive! The resort also provided Wi-Fi to the guests. For us, the internet connection was quite good and we didn't have any problem using it. They also had bicycle rental service for the guests who wants to ride a bicycle around the area. We rode a bicycle to King Taksin The Great Shipyard which located very near the resort. Apart from that, thing that impressed us the most was the resort's staffs. The resort's staffs were very nice and friendly to us. We had a nice chat with P'Amm who was at the reception. The other staffs were friendly as well. They took care of us when we asked for a bicycle and since we couldn't drive, they drove us to the tourist attraction that we wanted to go before we went back to Bangkok. I would like to say again that they took care of the guests very well and you won't be disappointed. All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable trip that I had. Even though the resort located a bit far from the city, it was quiet and peaceful and worth every penny. Nice decoration, nice food, and the staffs were very nice too! If you want a nice and peaceful experience when you visit Chanthaburi, Baan Rim Ao resort is a place for you!
