Hua Hin 2014

Hua Hin 2014 

Where is Hua Hin ?

Hua Hin is a  beach resort town in Thailand, in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, some 200km south of Bangkok. 

This is the best beach that is nearest to Bangkok city. 

How I get there ?

I boarded a minibus in Bangkok which cost 180 baht per person.

You can find the minibus at Victory Monument. From the Victory Monument BTS station, take the walkway toward south, descent the staircase on the east side to street level. It is just next to the stairs. Look for a sign board that show "Cha Am, Hua Hin". The minibus departs every 30 minutes, or when the van is full.

* If you are carry big luggages, they may charge you extra seat because the van is small and no spacious enough to put your luggages. Please try to carry light. *


The minibus stops near the Clock Tower.

Where I stay at ?

I stayed at Royal Express Hua Hin by Compass Hospitality.

My personal view of the hotel :

This hotel has a good location because it's at the main road. It's jut a basic hotel to stay at. Please don't expect much in this hotel because is a budget hotel. It's a large rooms adequately furnished and well cleaned. There is also a big fridge too ! 


You have to check-in in another hotel ( CitiLoft )  which is opposite. 

I had rented a bike from them which cost 200 baht per day. 

*There is no elevator*

The L'Hotel Causeway Bay Harbour View, Hong Kong

The L'Hotel Causeway Bay Harbour View, Hong Kong

The 4*Star L'Hotel Causeway Bay Harbour View hotel is near MTR Tin Hau, just 2 mins walk. There is total of 275 guest rooms and suites. 

My Personal view of the hotel

1. L'Hotel is right opposite Tin Hua Metro Station. It saves a lot of time to walk to Metro station. 

   Direction: From Airport -> Airport Express to Hong Kong Station -> Central ->   Tin Hau Station           -> Exit A1

Taxi -> Many of the taxi drivers are not sure of this L'Hotel causeway Bay Harbour View Hotel located at. It's best to tell the taxi driver that it's near at Tin Hau Station. 

2. There are a few shops nearby the area even 24 Hours 7-evelen. If you are hungry, there are a few shops that open 24 hours such as Dim Sum and MacDonald. There is a few great desserts shop too!  ("I miss their mango sago dessert").

3. The room that I stayed was Harbour View. The room was clean and quite spacious. However, the toilet was quite dirty. There is no free wifi in the room, so there is a charge if you want wifi. The only place that had free wifi was at Lobby. 

("Everything was acceptable")

4. You need deposit 500 HKD per room.

5. The staffs were friendly and helpful. The cleaner even greet me every morning. It brightens up my day. 

6. 20 mins walking distance to Causeway Bay if you don't mind to walk rather than taking MTR.  

7. You can even take "Ding-Ding" tram to Causeway Bay which is directly in front the hotel.

("Good Location to spam more photo over there")

8. The lift in the Hotel was too slow and it's also can't even allow more than 7 people in the lift.

("Bad Bad Bad")

Review

This was my second time visiting Bangkok, Thailand. I had chose this hotel because it was affordable and good location to the shopping paradise. If you first time visiting Bangkok, maybe this hotel slightly hard to find. It's because it located at the alley. 

The staffs were friendly and greeted us.

We checked-in the our room within 5 mins. We had booked standard twin. 

Good - 1. The room is spacious and neat.

            2. Two drinkable bottles provided ( Daily )

            3. Room always clean after room service

Bad - 1. The toilet ceiling is too low

          2. The toilet is so small

          3. The bed was hard and uncomfortable.

The location is convenient and is accessible to the Airport Link Ratchaparop station. A walking distance to Patrunam market, Baiyoke Sky, Platinum and many more. 20 mins walk to the Siam.

Address : 178/35 Ratchaparop Soi 5, Ratchaparop Road, Pratunam, Bangkok, Thailand 10400
