O2 The Residence

The rooms are really spacious, and breakfast is included. There's free parking too. There's no lift, so you can ask for a ground-floor room like we did. I'd stay here again if I'm in the area.

The property is beautiful, and the rooms are tastefully decorated, but I didn't find it restful. Sound carries through the thin walls, so TVs in nearby rooms were easy to hear. Even slight movement made the bed creak loudly, and music from nearby sources continued late into the evening. The complimentary breakfast was adequate, though nothing special. The restaurant photos showed a coffee latte machine, but only packaged coffee was available. The front desk staff were pleasant, while the rest of the team weren't as attentive or friendly. I don't plan to return.

I found the room very comfortable, with good quality linens and a mattress. The bathroom was spacious, with a separate sink and wardrobe. The hotel is pleasing to look at, with tasteful decor. Staff were helpful and friendly, there were lots of tours to choose from, and breakfast was ample and tasty.

The hotel is simple and fairly cheap compared with others nearby, though it doesn't have a pool like some of them. I gave it four stars for its simplicity, but they could pay more attention to details. Still, I had a good stay. It's a boutique place with three floors. I was on the second floor and had to carry my luggage up, so keep that in mind. My room was tidy and clean, though I did find a giant flying insect inside. The basic bathroom has the shower right beside the toilet, which gets water everywhere. There's a small balcony on the third floor that's nice for relaxing, but watch out for bugs there too. The building feels lovely, almost like entering someone's home from the front porch. It's set up a soi, a bit beyond the town center. Outside the soi, some food stalls open at night, and across the main road there's a shopping complex with Starbucks and other restaurants. Breakfast is served in the front cottage, and seemed to have more choices on Saturday when there were more guests. The egg was freshly prepared, which was good. The chicken porridge was pretty flavorful, maybe because of the MSG.
