Poor room service, cleaning staff don’t know their job, leave dirty cups in the room, never provide clean unless you keep on reminding. We were there for 2 week, same breakfast every day :( . Pool hygiene was not the best! Location wise it was good.

Clean and simple hotel. We stayed in several hotels in the area and for the price this one was quite accommodating and well located. The only cons are: you hear everything in your hallways, can’t keep the room cold with out leaving your key inserted.(it takes quite a while to cool the room down when you get back for the day) and the pool is quite gross a lot of things floating in it and the surface shows a lot of oils floating. We didn’t see it cleaned once in 10 days.

The staff were good. However on our last night, the people who were staying next to our room were making so much noise at 2am in the morning. I even went to complain but nothing was resolved and eventually I fell asleep only because I was tired. I was also disappointed with the gym facilities and the fact that the swimming pool was not deep enough.

Hotel: Dara Hotel Room no: 3209 Staff: 9/10 Location: 5/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Soundproofing: 2/10 (can’t hear traffic but can hear noisy people in the hallway + karaoke until midnight every night) Blockout curtains: Yes, exceptionally dark. Comments: You cannot flush toilet paper and have to put it in a bin. Hopefully you’re travelling solo or are very comfortable with your travel partner/s, however that doesn’t negate the fact the bin has held other peoples toilet paper with urine and feces on it. There was also a massive karaoke party on the first night we arrived that could be heard clear as day in the room and did not cease until just after 11pm despite being a Tuesday night. We would not stay here again. You cannot leave the fan or aircon on whilst you are away. This makes the room smell musty, and impossible to dry clothes.

Mehr Schein als Sein...

Nach den Fotos sind wir von einem schönen, gehobeneren Hotel ausgegangen. Das Zimmer war auch in Ordnung, aber das Hotel liegt an einer 6 spurigen Straße und der nächtliche Verkehrslärm war unerträglich. Frühstück war gut. Ansonsten wirkt das Hotelgelände, außer in der Empfangshalle, heruntergekommen, schmutzig und ungepflegt. Bis 15 Uhr fand noch keine Zimmerreinigung statt, die Putzwagen stehen immer auf den Fluren rum. Alles wirkt liederlich. Wir würden das Hotel nicht weiterempfehlen.

På bilderna ser det ut som ett lite lyxigare Hotel men det är betydligt sämre standard och väldigt otrevlig personal, inte serviceinriktade alls vilket helt går emot allt annat bemötande vi fått i Thailand någonsin.
