Chevasai Hua Hin Hotel

I had another great stay at the Chalelarn. I made a bit of an issue about being placed on the 2nd floor, as I thought it would be noisy, but it was fine. I should have booked on upper floor. Room itself was in good condition and they now have a new TV system which lets you watch YouTube and Netflix, if you have an account. Kettle provided but no Tea and coffee, which you can get at the 7-12 across the road. Pool on roof was again a really relaxing place to spend a couple of hours. Staff were great, better than last time and greeted me whenever they saw me. Well done, I will stay again.

I stayed for two days after I couldn’t stand the ibis Hua hin and its Omni present filth anymore. This one wasn’t actually any better,just cheaper. Last year I stayed in room 701 which actually was quit okay , this time the whole place was full 100% so it was only room 303. noir from everywhere , even from the adjacent room to which this one had an unfortunate connection door. You can’t sleep at all unless you love noise. Even the three massage parlors on the street could be overheard permanently. The ac didn’t cool at all, imagine this in a hot city like this one. The room wasn’t quite clean, the towels have clearly seen much much better times . The furniture was more than torn and worn. In a normal environment this place would have been closed but in Thailand no one cares. Look at the electrical wirings coming out of the dockets . Unbelievable. This was my definite last time in Hua Hin. I wanted to like it but no. It’s a third world city with first world prices. Avoid if you can. Beaches are gone thanks to high tide for 3 days a week and a beer at 7$ I can get even on the French Riviera…so what’s the point? Overtourism of desperate Europeans ….

We stayed in a superior double room and really enjoyed our stay. The staff there were very helpful and knowledgeable. The hotel is quite traditional, authentic and charming. It's very central for the wide variety of bars, restaurants, shops and night market and a short walk to the beach. The swimming pool on the roof was lovely but could do with some sun umbrellas as it got very hot up there.
