P & R Residence

Excellent value. Rooms cleaner than expected. Pathway to the rooms/ tiny elevator/ room doors look a bit rough/ stained, but cleanliness inside the room was a pleasant surprise. Floors in rooms remarkably clean. My clean-freak wife wiped the floors with a wet towel and we were shocked to see that the towel appeared no dirtier afterward. Air-con looks a bit weak, but it’s not. After 5-10 minutes of patience and your room can be every bit as cold as you want it. You won’t be running the air con on max for long unless you’re a polar bear. Complimentary fruit options in lobby. I looked at 4 different rooms on the property, all looked spacious and clean. I noticed that the single large beds are quite a bit more comfortable than the smaller twin beds. If you’re not impressed by the rooms they show on the second floor, ask to see a couple on 3rd or 4th floor. Oddly, the room they showed me first was the least desirable.

It seems there’s no front door in spite of the conspicuous hotel signage out front. Even knowing it’s tricky to find the entrance, you still could spend a half hour and make a phone call before figuring it out- especially if you’re there at 8am or earlier when receptionist is absent or snoozing. Even after I circled the building and spoke to receptionist on phone, I still spent a minute or two oblivious as to how to enter the building. Any semblance of a door handle, or even an index card posted “this is the entrance” would solve this problem. I can’t imagine how many potential customers have visited but moved on after giving up on finding out how to enter.

Rustic place. Very private feel with just a few guests. Comfortable and large room - we took the deluxe twin. Clean toilet. Breakfast was included but very basic. My flight was late at night and i was able to extend my stay by paying 100 Thai baht for each hour of extension. Overall comfortable stay.

Breakfast was nicely presented but quite basic just enough if you are rushing off somewhere. 3 choices - egg and toast or cereal or rice with chicken/pork. 1 Glass of milk (powdered), 1 glass of orange juice (from a bottle?). Coffee and tea was self-service. 1 small Thai traditional cake. Staff could improve their English.
