Photharam Vacation Packages

This place was great for price!! We would definitely stay here again!

It’s an old, small property. At the right price maybe worth booking considering location which is the only plus

The property itself is great. Modern lobby and modern rooms. I stayed in an Akara Deluxe suite which had a large king size bed, bath and separate toilet room. The bed was comfortable. The shower had excellent pressure. The TV was very difficult to get working and logged into any streaming services. Minibar was well stocked and reasonably priced. The pool and pool area were good and clean. The barracuda rooftop bar was very nice and again well priced. Buffet breakfast had good choice. Some issues that were poor were that the bed linen and towels definitely were not changed everyday despite the room being asked to be made up. Staff appeared more preoccupied with their mobile phones than opening doors for guests. You were able to smoke drugs on the rooftop bar also which was not ideal. Staff members also had a very poor grasp of English as when asked if we could book afternoon tea 4 times (also showing a photo of the afternoon tea) we would not get through to them. The hotel is 5 star rated however, I would not agree it is. Other than the above issues, it was a comfortable stay however, I would try somewhere else in Bangkok if I were returning.

The hotel itself was ok for a budget hotel. Clean and comfortable rooms. However the area and hotel full of sex tourists (possibly unavoidable in Bangkok?) When I checked in there was also noises in my room which the hotel informed me were bats in the roof. Not nice! The staff changed my room to a lower floor with no issue. The staff were nice and helpful and friendly. I can’t blame the hotel for the clientele, it’s not their fault. But avoid if you don’t want to be around that, which I certainly do not. It’s also very far from tourist places. Maybe it was about right for the price.
