Bathroom

IMG_0807(5)

The bathroom was made of marbled, creating a luxurious atmosphere.

IMG_0807(3)

The bathtub was big with a shower. It did not take too long to fill up the bathtub.

IMG_0807(16)

There was also a shower room next to the bathtub. There was a rain shower and a height adjustable hand shower. Both water pressure and temperature were just right. Shampoo, conditioner and body soap were prepared next to the shower.

IMG_0807(1)

The toilet was not cleaned properly which was a little disappointing.

IMG_0807(8)

Sink across the bathtub.

IMG_0807(22)

There was a sewing set, shower cap, cotton swab set, hair elastic, comb, body sponge and body lotion prepared next to the sink. I asked for a tooth brush on the phone and received one right away. There was also ginger soap on the sink.

Mini bar and cafe

IMG_0807(6)

There was a cafe corner with a capsule coffee machine, electric kettle, mineral water, cups and so on. On top of that, snacks and whiskey were prepared as a minibar (charged).

IMG_0807(7)

There tea bags such as mint and jasmine tea, Earl Gray and English breakfast tea, and also Coffee capsules, sugar and milk were also prepared.

IMG_0807(27)

In the refrigerator, beer, soft drinks and chocolate candies were prepared as a mini bar. One can of beer costs 180 Baht, so I think it’s better to buy it at the Seven Eleven behind of Avani Hotel.

Hotel Surroundings

If you want to go somewhere, you have to take a taxi or a boat, as there is only a shopping mall in the vicinity of the Avani Hotel. There is a Thai Chinese restaurant called “Chef Pom” within a 5 minute walk from the hotel and was quite delicious. Also, if there is an accident such as theft, there is a police station just outside the hotel, so you can get a police report immediately. There is a 7-Eleven behind of Avani Hotel. Avani Hotel has a shopping mall below, and there are various shops such as Starbucks and clothes shops.

Staff and Guests

The hotel staff’s response was good, but I felt like they were panicking due to the lack of workers. When I complained about not being able to check in right away they gave me a voucher of 500 Baht (about 1800 yen) and arranged late check out until 16:00. I used the voucher for the rooftop bar “Seen” of the neighboring Avani hotel, but I was satisfied because I gave it to -500Baht when I checked out.

IMG_0807 (3)

I saw many wealthy Westerners and Asian people. There were mainly families and couples staying.

Access

You can take a taxi and get to the airport in about 20 minutes. Alternatively, take the free shuttle boat from Pier at BTS Saphan Thaksin station to your hotel. There are also free boats to the Asian Teak complex, such as the night market. I think that the area around the hotel is safe, but the roads are dark with wild dogs sleeping here and there.

IMG_0807 (34)

Hotel ferry boat. They will pick you up at the dock at Sabang Thaksin Station.

IMG_0807 (33)

There is a police station in front of the hotel on the main street.

Summary

Overall, I had a nice stay at this hotel. Due to Covid 19, some restaurants were closed and there were not enough workers in the hotel. The nice thing about this hotel was that the lobby was big, the atmosphere of the pool was nice and service were good. The staff at Número Uno Cafe were very helpful. The price range for one room is 4000 Baht, which is neither cheap nor overpriced. This is a 5 star hotel, but I will have to say that it is not as high class as the “Mandarin Oriental Hotel.”
