Best Hotels in Tha Taphao, Thailand

We arrived around 10am requesting an early check-in, and the receptionist graciously found us a room. We opted for the deluxe king which turned out to be a corner room, giving us an extra window, which was nice. The downside was that the TV, normally placed where the window was, is now displaced into the corner of the room and smaller than the others. Only Thai speaking channels. The square balcony is nice, with a solid timber table and chair. The room is quite bright, but the bathroom is dark, even with the light on. The king bed is in one piece and comfortable but only one pillow each. The lift is small and very slow (we were on the 5th floor). Breakfast is on the top floor and is pretty ordinary, cutlery is the cheapest I’ve seen anywhere, which I always think, is often an indicator of the quality of the food. The location is good, in the centre of town but set back from the busy street. There is a 7/11 across the road and a Big C a few doors down. The main shopping mall of the town is 5 minutes walk and has a cinema complex, Starbucks and MC restaurant. This mid-range hotel is perfectly adequate for one nights stay but it’s definitely not stand out. I’m giving it four stars.

Best value hotel in Chumphon, for 1200 baht we got the best shower in over 30 days in Thailand. A clean and tidy room and a breakfast that in New Zealand would cost more than the 1 night stay!! . Friendly staff and it’s all right in the middle on Chumphon city so it’s close to night markets and amazing street food. Nice pool area with lots of shade. Perfect for a brief stopover for 1 or 2 nights.We have stayed in multiple hotels in Chumphon over the years and this is the best so far

Stopped by at hopinn chumphon for 1 night when driving down south. Sufficient parking space. Great security as keycard is required to enter the premises. The room was clean and hygiene. Shower is hot with water pressure. Soap and shampoo is provided. However, there is no toothbrush and toothpaste. The hotel is about 15 minutes from the highway. 7-11 and some local food store are within walking distance. The price is great for the offering. Very satisfied with the stay and recommend to all travellers if they need to stop by on the way to south Thailand.

Probably the criterion for choosing this hotel was the following. On the first line or near the sea we didn't want to look for a hotel because after Samui there will be no best impressions. Bungalo or villa, or maybe just a guest house to take not wanted. We decided to take a small hotel, but with a large pool around the city center. Or not at all in the center because the car is under the hand. Stopped at this hotel. However, it was late and dark, but as usual the gps didn't fail. The only rings in this city are just toys, I just drive them through the dark. then I had to go back. Now about the hotel. The hotel liked, took two rooms on three. Rooms large, light, floor granite or ceramic granite. Beds are large, the size of the king-size. Everything is light and neat. In the room the refrigerator (normally freezing) even the fruit on the upper shelf was caught with ice (the regulator had to dip), the teapot cooking, coffee, cream, water, dishes. The TV is true all channels only local shows, European and especially ours nothing. On the beds the mattresses were much softer than in all previous hotels (even if hotels are above class). Water is only one cold, but on the shower is a stream heater working as a beast on half heating already burning, the leak at the soul has three positions one of them creates just a feeric wind with spray of water, Even in very hot water it cools instantly (just very cool, has not yet faced such a leak work). Breakfast at the hotel is a Swedish table, when settled, coupons are issued. But in the breakfast room no one collects them. There are leaves where the rooms are specified, so there were 5 rooms of them 2 of ours, and the Swedish table is covered as if the whole hotel is now going down for breakfast. The diversity of dishes was quite large from Asian to European food. Breakfasts are very good. The first floor is almost open, three cool photo zones, made in different styles with accompanying attributes (the hats of the type three, soft toys, etc.), a large recreation area with good carpet and soft sofas. At the hotel the large swimming pool 12*25 m. the water is excellent. Because they lived in the swimming pool on weekends, very many locals come to the pool, generally from the morning to 18-00 a full pool of children. Some of the children are professionally swimming without stopping, but most are just barracks. The hotel is near (5 minutes by car) with the night market at the train station. In general, a simple city, a good hotel, friendly people. If we go again, we will definitely go to this hotel after all in the district there is something to look at.

Making our way down the coast, we decided to stay here for 3 nights after a train trip from Hua Hin. This hotel seemed the best located not far from the town, about 10 min walk actually although they offer complimentary bycles which we used a couple of times as well as hired a scooter for a day. 7eleven not far at all. Hotel setting was lovely actually creating a somewhat jungle feel. Pool was a good size and clean. Cafe on site was really quant with pretty good coffee. We are vegetarian and also do not eat onion and garlic and they were able to adjust some items on the menu for us and must say we're delicious. We ate here every night. The pricing is not expensive and reasonably priced as well as beers and drinks. Breakfast is provided here. Its fairly basic but enough variety of Western and Asian. How much can yiu eat anyway. We booked the cheapest standard room. It was Standard but pretty good and clean for the price inclusive of breakfast. Lets say, compared to some Motels back in Australia, it was way better and way cheaper. The only cons was these rooms did not have in room safe, the bed a little hard, only thai channels on tv and no coffee and tea provided, only kettle and cups. We didn't ask for any though as we had our own. Rooms above looked bigger as they have a balcony and they have Villas that looked really nice. The town is about 30 minute drive to the ferry pier. We are glad that we didn't book accommodation close to the pier as that area looked a bit distant from anything. The staff were really lovely and very helpful even booking our ferry tickets at no extra charge. I am pretty sure you are able to book other tours ect.. if you needed. In a nutshell, it was a pleasant, clean, convenient and cheap place fir a stopover or short stay.

No doubt, that unconventional things add more bright colors to our life, the same as visiting of uncommon places. With all that said, I can call De Sea Almond Hotel in Chumphon as one of the most unusual hotels we have ever settled in. It’s not just a hotel with a number of rooms, which, more or less, looks the same, no, each room in this hotel is one-of-a-kind one. We were lucky enough to spend one night in the room number three on the first floor, a two-story fort-like room with a big bathtub and spacious balcony with a sea-view, and it we did really enjoy the opportunity to warm ourselves in a hot bath with bubble bath (kindly provided by the hotel) first, and then cool ourselves with one famous cold drink, sitting on the balcony. Just one little advice: start taking hot water into the bath in advance as the flow of the water was water pressure was quite weak. For example, it took us about one hour to fill the bath. Yes, the hotel isn’t brand-new one, at all, and it definitely needs renovation here and there. However, we would be happy to visit De Sea Almond, once again, mostly, because of the vibe of this place.

Only stayed one night waiting to go to Ko Tao. There were only two pillows provided on a queen bed so I asked for a third pillow and was met with “we don’t have any more pillows”. Well for a good size hotel I didn’t buy that for a minute. They opened a room next to the front desk to show me they didn’t have any pillows, I guess they thought I was am *****. I knew the hotel was far from full so I suggested they could use one from an unused room. Well at the end of the day they found one for me to use. The pool was nice and relaxing. We had dinner in the lounge that was surprisingly good. I can’t say the same for the breakfast. Cold eggs and no bacon. It’s not horrible but just not as good as I have been getting the last few weeks. Also no electrical outlets on either side of the bed. Strange I would say.

Easy to book. I made a request through Agoda, and the hotel contacted me to confirm my request. They gave us connecting rooms. Price was great. Staff were friendly. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We like firm beds though. Would stay here again.

The room is spacious, the parking is good, the sleep is comfortable, but the air conditioner ​ late at night, there is a dripping water, it should not have been maintained, wash the air conditioner ​ noisy.

The hotel is clean, the rooms are basic. Probably an old hotel, renovated, doing a new breakfast, so-so But the hotel is in the center of the city Ample parking Good service receptionist Near the fresh market open in the evening, walk to Beside the hotel there is a pork katha shop at an affordable price, can stop by to eat.
