Palio Inn

The photos on the app look beautiful, but the room we got was nothing like them. The biggest letdown was the staff, who were very impolite and unprofessional. Honestly, even one star feels too generous.

The outside of the building looked old and poorly maintained, though the interior wasn’t bad at all. Our room was quite large and clean, and I loved how the bedsheet, blanket, and pillows smelled. The hotel is easy to spot and not far from restaurants or convenience stores. Bring your own toiletries, as they provide only two small soaps, one roll of toilet paper, and a small shampoo pack.

There’s a Tops Daily very close by, which is hugely convenient, and there’s lots of parking. At 800 baht for a room with two double beds, the price is good. The downside was poor upkeep and cleaning. The kettle was dirty, and there were no cups, spoons, or other utensils. Bring your own cups and cutlery and you’ll be fine.

My first visit was great, but this second stay was a letdown. We were here for five nights and had to ask repeatedly for water and toilet paper. They only brought toilet paper on the first and third days. The rooms were old and dirty, with no maintenance at all. My parents had to change rooms three times because the toilet was broken. The bedsheet was torn and the drawers were dirty, like they hadn’t been cleaned. The only advantage is the location. I won’t recommend it or stay again.
