When we arrived at the hotel, it was still too early, around 8 a.m., so we couldn't check in yet, as the check-in period is 3 p.m. We didn't inform the hotel about the early check-in. We were able to leave all our luggage and head straight to Platinum Mall, December, and the 100 Baht Shop, which are only a 5-minute walk away.
The hotel area is Muslim-friendly; every time we buy food on the food street, the vendors will direct us to the halal options. Even the Seven-Eleven cashier next to the alley wears a hijab, and there are shelves specifically for halal food. At the end of the alley, there's a self-service laundry if you need to do your laundry.
The hotel didn't include breakfast with our reservation, but every morning from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m., we received free drinks like coffee, chocolate, and Thai tea from the coffee machine on the ground floor. GrabFood is also easy to order halal food.
There's a scale in the lobby area, which can be used to weigh our luggage for those who like to shop and are worried about excess baggage upon returning home—very useful. Our room had two king-size beds, and the room was spacious enough to store our many suitcases and groceries, and to pray. However, there's only one small table and chair.
The room is cleaned daily, towels are changed, and four bottles of mineral water are provided, which can be refilled in the lobby if needed. There's a hairdryer, refrigerator, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, hot water, and a kettle. The only downside is the small elevator. This is a good hotel for families.
