Ayrest Hotel

A lovely hotel with welcoming and friendly staff. The room was clean and spacious and much better than I expected for the price. I only stayed here one night so it is hard to comment on certain things, I did not use the pool but it seemed clean and a lovely area to relax. I used this hotel as a base to go on a trip to a nearby National Park to see wild elephants and free transport from this location was included so it was a great location for this. I departed the next day from Hua Hin train station which was a short Grab journey away. If I was staying in the area for longer I perhaps would have preferred to stay closer to the main sights, shops and restaurants but they were not too far away. The only disappoint was the buffet breakfast as there was not much choice and it was just okay and even though I attended early (7am) some of the food was quite cold, and the coffee machine did not work either. However, I’m not that fussy and can get past this, but others may not be so forgiving.

Can't fault it. A lovely welcome into a fantastic, spotless room. Balcony overlooking the spectacular, crystal blue water of the pool. Good parking and quiet location too. Highly recommended!

This was the worst reception I’ve ever experienced. The room condition at Ayrest Hotel was decent, and although the bread at breakfast wasn’t fresh, breakfast is still tasted good. However, the reception desk staff were not professional. Since there was no “Do Not Disturb” sign, I called to inform them that I did not want room cleaning, but the room was cleaned anyway. I also requested some extra towels — they said they would bring them in 10 minutes, but even after more than 30 minutes, no one came, so I had to call again. The shuttle bus scheduled for 4:00 PM didn’t depart until almost 4:20 PM, and punctual departures were rarely observed. I believe the reception is the face of the hotel, but their work performance was truly poor.
