Hisea Huahin Hotel

The central location makes it easy to get around: the night market is about a five-minute walk, and the beach is five minutes away too. The staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel was very clean, and the beds were comfortable, though a little hard for me. I still slept well. Breakfast was nice, cooked well, and served with great service. There’s an infinity pool on the 7th floor with great views, plus a sky bar above it with seats and sun loungers for sun worshippers. My only real complaint is that east-facing rooms can be noisy in the morning because of the school next door. We get up early, so it didn’t bother us, but if you like a lie-in, ask for a room on the other side. I’d rate the stay 9.9.

The room was quiet on the side away from the school, and honestly the noise from the school seems overstated. Pool service could be better: the bar only opens at 1pm, the staff weren’t very engaging, and the pool closes too early at 9:30pm. Reception service could use some small improvements too. Even so, the room size and quality, along with the location right in the middle of Hua Hin’s action, would bring me back.

I was really impressed and would recommend this hotel, and stay again. The kids at the school next door can be noisy during breaks, so ask for a room on the opposite side. My only small gripe was breakfast: the coffee wasn’t nice, so we didn’t drink it, and there wasn’t much fruit.

Spectacular place. We arrived early just to ask about leaving our bags, but they got us straight into the room. The room was nice, the pool was great, and the staff were terrific. We haven’t tried the restaurant yet.
