R.T. Hotel

Three nights here scheduled at last minute after a major travel change. The road out front is a three lane highway separated by a divider plus a bike lane. Typically this would be a nightmare for me but I asked the manager for a fan and she lent me one that was on the noisy side which was great for me. I’m a “white noise” guy and can’t sleep in silence. I don’t want to hear motorcycles racing at 2am either and there was a little of that but not a lot. I requested a corner unit in the back away from the street and I got it. I don’t believe the hotel was anywhere near capacity (24 rooms ?) as I rarely saw or heard anyone; it was quiet. The location isn’t prime to anything except an excellent, affordable dinner restaurant. For Western breakfast I walked 20 minutes every morning to the touristy street that is wall to wall bars, restaurants & massage. My room was large, clean w/good a/c & good hot water. I was very happy with it. My only disappointment was I needed some help from the manager who emphasized day one she would take care of me. By checkout day she was singing a different tune and said “you’re on your own.” I just spent a month traveling through 10 cities in Vietnam and I counted on hotel front desk to help me make my connections and they were amazing. I really felt this was lazy, thoughtless and lacking of pride. But the room was great. If you don’t need help with anything, this is the hotel for you. I have to add, I wasn’t even offered a taxi as I left.

This was great value. Just stayed 1 night when our hotel was full. It was about 750 baht a night, one of the cheapest, we were pleasantly surprised. Our room was large, at the back with a view of palm trees and jungle but on the main road so near everything. Bed big and comfy, fridge, good air con and shower gel and soap. Would stay again

We decided to stay on budget accommodation at our Khao Lak visit as we were diving for most of the days. For that purpose R.T Hotel is perfect. There is a nice family running the place. They will also rent you a motorbike to get around. The rooms are clean and kept in good condition.

Very clean and comfortable, good swimming pool and very friendly staff. 10-15 mlnutes walk to the beach and 5 mlns to nearest bars and restaurants.
