Hotel berhampiran Aquarium The Institute of Marine Science Burapha University, Chon Buri

We are a mixed couple (Chinese and UK). The reception staff were very friendly upon check in. Our room was clean and modern. They provide water, shampoo, soap, body wash and a fridge, slippers, bath robe and a safe. Location - the hotel is located a 10 min walk to the Park Market and Toshin Market and a 20 minutes walk to the fish market. It's about a 20 minutes walk to the beach. There's some little shops around the hotel, but be careful on the little back roads due to fast cars. Breakfast - You have to make your breakfast selections on Check in, so you have to know in advance what you wish to eat and drink in the future. The coffee is nice, but the food is just a microwave wrap. It's fine for a breakfast. The first night at the hotel was good, and we got a decent sleep. The second night, we arrived back, and there was a loud game of Mahjong or poker going on next door. The problem is, they put us in a room with a (locked) adjoining door. The door is not sound or light proof. This meant we could hear every word and clink of the ******** chips and had light shining in during the night. We said to reception, but this kept going on. It really puzzles me why they put us into an adjoining room. The next morning, the next door was open, and I saw it's a room without beds, so perhaps designed just as a games room (see last picture). It definitely made me a bit wary that if one of the players had a key, they could open the adjoining door to our room. Definitely avoid the rooms ending in 09 or 10 if you want to guarantee a good sleep. This isn't the fault of the lovely workers. it's a design problem/owners issue.

พนักงานยิ้มแย้มและบริการดี บรรยากาศดี มีสถานที่ให้ถ่ายรูป มีสระน้ำให้เล่น เดินทางสะดวก

ทำเลโอเค เดินทางสะดวก แต่ที่จอดรถน้อย ถ้าไม่มีต้องเสียเงินจอดใกล้เคียง ห้องสะอาด มีตู้เย็น ไม่มีกาน้ำร้อน ไม่มีหมวกอาบน้ำ พนักงานต้อนรับพูดจาไพเราะ ต้อนรับดี โดยรวมโอเค ห้องเงียบสงบ

โรงแรมอยู่ตรงข้ามกับตลาดปาร์คอิน มีของกินเพียบเลย ใกล้กับบางแสนโตชินด้วย แต่กลางคืนมีเสียงเพลงเข้ามารบกวนอยู่ ต้องรอหลังเที่ยงคืนที่ร้านต่างๆ ปิดร้านแล้ว จึงจะสงบ การออกแบบห้องน้ำแปลกๆ ไม่มีการแยกโซนเปียกและแห้ง ไม่มีการยกพื้นกั้นระดับน้ำโซนอาบน้ำ มีเพียงแค่ผ้าม่านกั้น พื้นเปียกทั่วทั้งห้องน้ำเหมือนเดิม

I was very impressed. The hotel was located near the beach and surrounded with the restaurants witch is very great location. They have the convenience store in front of the hotel that make me felt comfortable. On the other hand the price was very suitable.

The rather large hotel is located directly on the busy Beach Road. Since there is no direct connection to the sea I would hesitate to call this a resort. The main building is set back and there are two wings reaching forward like the claws of a crab. The tips are very close to the road and we were unlucky enough to get a room at the very end of the tip. Check in procedure was quick and efficient. The room is very standard and old-style. No electric outlets at the beds and not that many on the other side. Curtains are not light proof. There is a fridge but there are only two bottles of water in it. Not easy to understand why there are no drinks, I am happy to pay for them. The A/C is very loud. Any attempt to control the fan speed failed. Whatever the setting, it remained at full speed, or so it seemed. The bathroom sink has a stop that is always closed. After washing hands or cleaning teeth you need to stick your hand in the dirty water in order to pull the plus and drain the sink.  There is room service for food at a good price and as the only restaurant open was an unpleasant looking bakery shop we had food sent to the room. This was quite OK, but the only place to eat it was at a table on the balcony. Out there it is very loud from the street noise and the irritating whining of the jet ski's on the sea. Not enjoyable or relaxing. So try the swimming pool. This is large but only 1.20 m deep. Just enough for swimming. Of the twelve (!) reclining beds that I counted none was free, so you have to sit on the stone ridge. I saw people with towels, but no idea how to get them. There was no staff at the pool. And then the worst part. It was a long weekend with lots of loud traffic on the Beach Road. Cars, trucks, motorcycles. Loud all night till the early morning, sometimes accompanied by fireworks. It eludes me how a caring host could give these noisy rooms to any guest. Breakfast is buffet style with enough choice. For coffee I would have preferred an espresso machine, the coffee served is mediocre. All in all I would rate the hotel no better than average. For the bad two nights I found that maybe a generous ”poor” would be appropriate. However, the core business and care of a hotel is to provide their guests with a good night's sleep. This I did not get for two nights, so my overall experience was terrible and so is my rating. I will never go back there.

Excellent location with only few minutes to beach and restaurants and หอยจ๊อวรรณา which is very famous and super yummy! Reception is very helpful and seeks for all possible options to support my request in getting double bed room. Living room with kitchen and all necessary utensils and equipments are convenient and enough for short stay. Challenge will only be to get the parking space near the building you are assigned.

my wife and I stayed here over the weekend.I chose this property because of the reviews that says it had an excellent location. it does not. it is far removed from anything that's happening on the main drag as it is located at the complete opposite end of where everything is happening. true enough you can take a 20-minute walk in the heat down towards the middle of everything but getting any kind of a motorbike taxi or grab taxi to get back to the property is next to impossible. also the weekend traffic does not move. the weekend traffic is horrific. The service department is large and clean compared to most properties. and that was indeed a factor for me and this part of the description is accurate But the property is minimalist ... you get one small bath towel, although management will bring you another one if you ask and go to the trouble. toiletries were minimal for a service department or hotel and the soap was large enough that you might be able to clean one ear. The cable provider for TV is the cheapest in the area. therefore your selection of channels are minimal and the connection is so poor that most times you can't watch the TV. so if you have children this might be a consideration there is no beach or beach walk outside of the property but there is a pier..the pier and surrounding water is filthy. But to be fair all of the beach and water in bangsean is filthy... if you're looking for a clean somewhat spacious accommodations and you don't care about location this is a good property however be aware of one more thing. for the price offered it also includes breakfast. The breakfast was the most ludicrous breakfast I've ever been offered anywhere in the world. The excuse for not offering the buffet is of course the pandemic. keep in mind those protocols are not followed by any other restaurant ,hotel, or the night market itself. breakfast was one bowl of rice porridge. your help hostage until they decide to deliver it...The breakfast delivery starts at 8:00 a.m. and starts at the 6th floor and works its way downwards.. there is no reason to stay for the one bowl of rice board soup for breakfast. go somewhere else. this too may be a consideration for the price paid for this property in comparison to the competition.

This is the best hotel in Bangsaen for service, I had a talk with an expat operations executive coming to ask if I needed anything, and the security guard escorting us to our rooms was very helpful. Also FB is great, everything is delicious in breakfast line. Though the room is quite old and dated but understandable given it's the first hotel in the city. But there were some bird poop (I guess) on the balcony which was quite disgusting, I tried to understand that the hotel was closed for sometime during Covid (given some areas are under renovation and maintenance) so might still not be 100% open with 100% of manpower yet. Also the landscape was quite messy. Anyway, cleanliness is an important key as well, hope it will get better on my next stay! PS. I think there are better choices with this price.

The small eateries around the hotel is quite good. Go walk around and explore. There is a shop across the street selling rice with dishes for lunch. For dinner there is a mookata and a hotpot nearby hotel that opens till late. Central plaza closes at 9pm. There is a statue of Phra Phrom in front of the hotel
