Diamond De Pai City Hotel

It's very quiet here, and the staff are friendly. The rooms can smell a bit like sewage from time to time, though. Breakfast is a 150 baht buffet, which feels expensive for the limited selection.

Getting to walking street takes a long walk, and the rooms are very basic. There's no phone or lift, and the air conditioning had problems. Water also backs up in the bathing area. If you need help, you have to go downstairs to the ground floor, so good luck if your room is on the third floor.

If you're a light sleeper, avoid a room facing the road because of the loud bikes. The shower towels felt like sandpaper, and there weren't any hand towels. The toilet and shower share the same space, which I hope they'll change. At 800 a night, I think the room is a bit overpriced and could use renovation. There should be more electrical sockets, including by both sides of the bed, so bring an extension cord. I also hope they do a better job keeping the breakfast items clean.

We booked through agoda to keep costs down, and got a quiet room facing the parking lot on a lower floor, as requested. The hotel has lots of parking and a great spot just off the main highway. The spacious lobby has water, ice, coffee, and tea available around the clock. Our room was clean and roomy, with good water pressure and reliable hot water. Even when we put up the DND sign, they left our daily water, towels, and toilet paper by the door. The night market and city center are nearby, and we had a restful stay.
