How was the booking process handled?: Just great!
Other comments about the hotel: Friendly staff. A interesting stay in rural Thailand. This is not a five star hotel, but a nice 2 star. Room was ok and clean, little bit old in style, but absolutely ok. Good bed. The bathroom was small but ok. TV has many channels, but now was in english. The breakfast was not very good and small. Served outside the hotel. All this is the real Thailand. Location was not to great, since it was little bit far from the city centre. The good part is that it s close to the busterminal. The bar and nightclub was closed (in the high season!) Overall a fair good hotel to spend some days if you don t expect too high standards. Will come back again 100%

How was the booking process handled?: great as usual
Other comments about the hotel: A nice hotel but most of the facilities advertised were not open and it is supposed to be high season around xmas/new year, the Karaoke/bar was closed and no singers in the retaurant, only a few tables on the terrace serving breakfast/lunch/dinner, free wi-fi was available but poor signal in the room had to go to the foyer. all in all not bad for Issan and would stay again if passing through. staff very pleasant

How was the booking process handled?: Fine, I am a fan of ThailandHotels-24.com.com, having booked hotels through you during the last year with 100% success.
Other comments about the hotel: Stayed in a VIP room, and for the first time in my life I can say the room was too big ! Could have played a game of football in there!Minus points - they now have internet in the lobby (previous reports said no internet), but found it impossible to send eMails although could receive them. 2 good internet cafe s over the road which were also cheaper by the hour - the Expat one also sells coffee.Shower was poor, with only mounting bracket at bath-tub height, so either had to sit in the bath or hold shower nozzle with one hand.Plus points - Clean and tidy, daily room service very good. Staff very friendly and fun, both in reception and the restauarant / bar. Bar staff support Liverpool - always a good sign!!

Other comments about the hotel: Ok hotel with exellent location. Breakfast nothing to mention.Our AC was a disaster,noisy and it did not work correctly, the staff attempt to fix it for 3 days and finally we got another room.We had a VIP room and the room were very spacious. Just 200 meters (left) from the hotel we found an exellent restaurang called Book & Bed !! Delicious Thai & International food !! Try it !! Despite the small problems i ll recommend this hotel.

How was the booking process handled?: The hotel had received the booking and respected it. So everything was ok
Other comments about the hotel: I was in a VIP room for four days. The room seam to have been built for something helse than a room. The toilet are very old but fonctionnal. The mattress is very cheap. The air conditionning was working for short period of time. I book this room for 1,300bath and the price door was 1,800bath. Quality/price are ok and I would book again, except that there is no access to internet.

How was the booking process handled?: Regarding the booking service. I booked online through Chiandao and had no issues at all.
Other comments about the hotel: My family and I stayed at the Vongthong Hotel in Buriram, Thailand from November 13-20, 2008. We actually had the same VIP room we had when we stayed there in 2000. Except for some new furniture, it was essentially unchanged since then. Overall, the hotel is clean and comfortable, but I believe it is overdue for an upgrade. In particular, the bathroom needs to be modernized. Additionally, the hotel needs to provide Internet Access in all of the rooms, as well as in the lobby and restaurant areas. Aside from those items, I like the hotel and will certainly stay there again. The price is certainly right.

How was the booking process handled?:
Other comments about the hotel: This was my second stay at the Vongthong Hotel. The first time I stayed in a VIP room and this time a Deluxe room. Both rooms were very large with good furniture the only let down was the shower and hot water system. For the price though I would recommend it and I intend to stay again.

Other comments about the hotel: I have travelled the world on a regular basis over the last 30 or so years and find this is one of the best hotels of its class. I don t need a week to find out what a hotel is like.

How was the booking process handled?: Good
Other comments about the hotel: Located 30 min walk from train stn and 5 min from bus stn.Staff appeared to be rather indifferent. Room was large but basic. No hot water at bathroom wash basin. No english language channels on cable TV. Terrace cafe good value at night. Breakfast bad experience, limited set menu, hot coffee was a cup of warm water with instant coffee sachet, fresh orange juice was a sickly orange cordial. I will not stay there again

How was the booking process handled?: Excellent.
Other comments about the hotel: For the price, good value. No serious complaints, although lack of at least one decent English language TV station was surprising and disappointing; non-Thai TV station reception incredibly poor. Also I don t like having to put my valuables in a shared safe. Getting laundry back was always a struggle. But these are minor irritations: overall the hotel is fine. By the way, the Balcony Bar staff (breakfast/evening drinks etc) are very nice people and the live singing every night is great. Would I stay there again? Yes. [Across the road the Star Internet shop is a good place to go.]
