The hotel is on the River, closely located to the shopping area.
nice swimming pool as well as our room had jacuzzi, although with builders across the river, you may not be tempted to jump into your bath! some privacy there would be welcome!
The breakfast is of decent quality and reflect the standard of this upmarket provincial hotel, not to be confused with International 5 stars hotel chain... of course the breakfast could be improved, with the offering of croissant/pastries. Another point is coffee, as Westerner I like a good coffee, they serve filter coffee, which after few minutes on the hot plate taste like burnt! Perhaps I am being picky, but being the best hotel in Chanthaburi, you expect higher standard, and it is all about details in this industry.
the room are well appointed, comfortable beds and pillows. A bonus for me, is wood flooring! just perfect. Great shower too!
The restaurant menu in my view could be improved, especially when you see advertised wines like "Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2000" in the wine fridge! they do have a few good wines at a lesser price! They would gain to develop a better menu... whilst this is the Thai countryside, there are also many foreigners visiting like myself, and I do visit Chanthaburi regularly. the hotel was very busy, with what it seems foreigners and Thai alike.
few improvements would make this hotel a real Gem in Chanthaburi!
