Sunshine Hotel & Residences
I'm staying here now, in the Residence section. Paid 1600 Bht per night.
Unimpressed.
Poor start at reception when they struggled to find my booking and insisted I print it out at the local internet cafe. I refused and showed all the details to them on my laptop. They then threw the key down on the counter in my general direction.
Rooms are good size, but a bit drab. Bathroom is old and a bit mildewy. Bath and shower rather than my preferred walk-in shower. Aircon cannot be turned up above nominal 24C, so it is either too cold to sleep or stuffy. There is no internet access from the room.
The rooms are noisy (OK, it is on Soi 8, that's not their fault), both in the evening and the morning. But convenient location.
I didn't want to go to the Baron Beach Hotel because in high season its price is 1800 Bht. However it is a much superior hotel, and much better value, especially on the quiet side of the building.
Would I return? No.
