Sam Bandit Vacations from $395

Overall, I want to say not best but not bad and beautiful hotel, The Mall Bang kapi is just 10 minutes from hotel, located in peaceful and beautiful area and staff are polite very helpful. Breakfast wasn’t good.

We usually stay at centre points because it’s an apt. We used to stay quite a lot at the shangri la. Overpriced for a dated room. IMO. We like having washer dryer too.

Great service and local shuttle from the start til the end. Staff Joseph was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great every morning along with the complimentary water bottles. Has gmy, pool and self service laundry. Best is the free local shuttle.

Rooms need a bit of looking after - though there was a letter in the room saying they are working on this. Reception checked me into the wrong room and tried to ask me to change rooms at 22:30, after showing me yet another room I didn’t book (no balcony lower floor, I booked studio panoramic with a balcony)I politely declined moving rooms. I selected the ‘pay at property’ option, but the hotel directly took the money from my card the day before I arrived. Expedia confirmed this, they should not provide the option at checkout if it is not possible to pay at the hotel. Reception did try to rectify this by allowing a payment in cash and a card refund, but the refund would take 10/14 days and they weren’t able to provide me with any receipts of yet more cash being left at reception for payment or a refund receipt for the card transaction. Location is pretty good, rooms are large. Bathrooms are good.

It is a very clean and quiet hotel. Staff knows NO English and just stare at you. Was frustrating!
