Alvarez Hotel

“The case for a pillow menu”

If you like big, fat pillows, this is the hotel for you. No other sort was available. But there is a nice reception area, good service from receptionists and bellboy, modern keycard, big airy room with sofa, safe, nets behind curtains (overlooking car park).

If you like big, fat pillows, this is the hotel for you. No other sort was available. But there is a nice reception area, good service from receptionists and bellboy, modern keycard, big airy room with sofa, safe, nets behind curtains (overlooking car park). Sliding door in room had notice “Close door before go to bed to save energy reduction”. I was woken by loud TV noises in next room, and the rain shower (tall for once) squeaked noisily. For such a smart hotel, I couldn’t believe the tatty, dirty carpet in the lift! But breakfast was great – real coffee with milk, a wide choice of Thai food and, outside, a chef would cook whatever you wanted.

“Average hotel ”

Stayed at this hotel recently initially looked ok when arrived at the hotel but as you look around this hotel is needing a bit of care and attention in places.

Stayed at this hotel recently initially looked ok when arrived at the hotel but as you look around this hotel is needing a bit of care and attention in places. The room was of a good size our room was on the 4th floor. Air conditioning took hours to get cool as they only give you one key so you can’t keep your room cool when your not there. Had a list of tv channels on a card which most of which were not available specially English speaking ones. Went to have a look at the pool as wanted to go in it wash really dirty not looked after or cleaned stuff floating in it no sun beds pretty poor really not good if you can’t clean your pool for guests. Bird droppings around the pool also. And the towels look like there 10 years old. Breakfast was ok not great tea was near the coffee but was cold both mornings went down. Staff were friendly I wouldn’t blame them for the issues management obviously don’t check things at the hotel to make sure everything is good.

“Obvious Investment in Rooms & (Bizarrely) Lobby Toilets”

All in all not a bad hotel, staff quite friendly and the room seems to have been recently upgraded (probably because the sudden popularity of Buriram as a sports hub means it is not worth having comfortable, modern feeling rooms). Otherwise a pretty normal three star hotel, would have had four bub… Plus

All in all not a bad hotel, staff quite friendly and the room seems to have been recently upgraded (probably because the sudden popularity of Buriram as a sports hub means it is not worth having comfortable, modern feeling rooms). Otherwise a pretty normal three star hotel, would have had four bubbles except they would have charged us for extra water in the room which is just silly (even sillier they took us to a supermarket to buy our own - this is good service but I count local spirit rather than hotel training for it). There are certainly prettier and better hotels in town but perhaps not for the same price, if you're looking for a comfortable bed, clean bathroom and security close to town this would work.
