Kiang Haad Beach Hua Hin

It’s across from Market Village, which is handy, and the staff were attentive and friendly. The rooms are spacious, and although the hotel is a little older, it’s still very nice. One thing to keep in mind: the city view faces straight onto the main highway, and it was too noisy for sleeping. The night market and main area are about a five minute taxi ride away.

The pool on the fourth floor has a nice design, with a small cafe or restaurant beside it, and the staff were pleasant. The rooms were okay, and the beach is a short walk away. But the open design and busy three lane highway out front meant a lot of traffic noise. It wasn’t peaceful or restful, and earplugs were needed. The shower’s hot water was inconsistent too. In room 612, sewer gas from the drain pipes was so bad it made me gag, so I had to move rooms.

The staff deserve a special mention. They were amazing, always smiling, and nothing seemed too much trouble. It’s also well priced, with the beach and Market Village shopping centre both about a five minute walk away. An absolute gem. I’ll definitely stay here again.

The location is strategic, and the rooms are clean and modern with a good shower. There are pools, and happy hours too. I paid 1800 bahts during peak time, though there are cheaper options nearby with a better view. The balconies look directly onto other rooms, so there’s no privacy. I could also surprisingly hear road noise.
