Thipurai Beach Hotel Annex

Stayed just 1 night on the 6th floor and was impressed by the lovely welcome received on arrival. The check-in was very efficient. The hotel has an elevator to all floors and is well-maintained. The bedrooms are large, with tiled flooring throughout. The bed is very comfortable, and it was quiet for a good sleep. The use of a pool is at the end of the road (a 2-minute walk). Tops supermarket is on the main road at the road entrance, and Hua Hin Market Village is within a short distance. It's a bit difficult to find a parking spot for the car.

I have stayed here on several occasions all being lovely and friendly and gave it 5 stars I am sorry to say that on this stay I noticed that the building was looking a little tired and in need a little bit of a overhall. The bedrooms are now showing there age also the balcony could do with a fresh coat of paint. The bedding was the best with a new memory foam matteres which made for a great nights sleep. The air-conditioning was only on one setting around 20-22' it didn't make any differents if you altered the temperature on the control .The bathroom was clean and stock with soap, shampoo and other accessories, the shower could do with having a hand held shower not one fixed to the wall very old style the tiles where cracked in need of replacment. My TV was absolutely hopeless with terrible signal and sometimes with no signal at all, this was for the entirety of my stay and also heard other guests saying the same. Wifi signal was good speeds of approximately 86 - 127mbs. So bring your laptop or tablet if you what to watch TV. My housekeeper was a lovely friendly lady and recognised me from previous stays well done to you. Breakfast was a little bit hit and miss, disappointing most the the hot items where luke warm to cold ( fried potatoes, scrambled and fried eggs, ham, sausages and baked beans) where warm to cold where the fuel holder under the chafing dish had run out.But a good selection of cold and other items. I would like to say a big thank you to the lady that is pregnant I think she is from Myanmar or Burma to us oldies a big thanks for taking care of me at breakfast, Hope all goes will for her. the rest of the staff where freindly and helpful and front of house staff can speak goog english. I also would like to say a very big thank you to Wat the night manager for also taking care of myself and my friends once again thanks Wat. I only left one bottle of Heineken. One major gripe I have is charging 3% on all credit / debit cards but not a thai bank card if you scan??? I understand that this may keep the price of the rooms down but most hotels, restaurants and bars take this in to account when setting the rates if you are staying long term if is a lot of money to carry with you. Sadly the way to the beach is now permanently closed with the closer of the beach bar/restaurant which was fantastic, now you have to walk through the neighbouring hotel The Verannda Lodge to reach the beach which they are not to pleased about if you don't purchase anything. I wish all at the Tipurai my thanks. I hope these things can be attened to and it will make other guests have a enjoyable stay that they talk about.

Close to beach and shopping, central night market. Room is fine, bed is comfortable. The hotel charges more for breakfast if you prepay for breakfast when making an online booking reservation. You can pay each day for breakfast in cash and get a substantially lower price. I prepaid online and I have to pay the higher price. That's why I gave the hotel an average rating.
