ฤกษ์ดี RerkDee bed and Breakfast

Everything was great. Great view from the 4th floor to the lake, big room, hot shower, big bed, balcony... etc. Everything you need for a great stay. And the breakfast was sooo good. It was a delicious Thai breakfast. Will stay here definitely again 😍

Now: the room is simple, but functional and clean enough. The bathroom is usable and about decent, the hot shower works well. There was a bit of musty smell in my room occasionally, not overwhelming for me. I saw 3 different rooms, and each time I inspected the bathroom. But no fridge, no kettle, no mosquito screen, no bedside table, the TinyBath shelfless and hookless, no inhouse laundry service (the super "Superlaundry" a 10 minutes walk away), no bedside lamp, only two glaring ceiling lamps, but a bedside plug (too high). There is aircon (never tried), but no fan. There are bigger problems though: on the premises in daytime is only a housemaid who speaks no English whatsoever, avoids communication and seems stressed. At one point she called the owner by phone who speaks a bit of English. At night there are anglophone vendors and bar keepers on the ground floor who seem to have connections to the hotel. But I never felt welcome or supported as in almost any other Thai hotel big or small, anglophone or not. The other thing: on booking.com they say that they offer parking. But they don't offer private parking, only public parking on the lakeside road. Now I came with car and bicycle and the information "parking available" had been important for me. In the user questions on booking.com, the owner says they don't have parking, but I did not read that before booking. I read the general description, which seems to say that private parking is available, and I filtered my booking options for properties with parking. When I arrived, the housemaid didn't know about my booking. She offered me three different rooms, seemingly all available. Upon calling the owner after touring three rooms, she learned that only one of these 3 rooms was available for me. When you take the room key out of its slot and out onto the street with you, there's no more electricity in the room.
