Ariyasom Villa

Serve: It was an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience when checking in. The check-in time is marked as 14:00. We arrived at a little after 1 and did not request to check in immediately. We ordered some drinks and rested in the garden. At 13:50, we were a little hungry and wanted to go out for a meal after checking in, so we went to the front desk to ask if it was possible. The front desk staff, who was wearing a headscarf, insisted that the room was not ready and had to wait for the supervisor to check. I asked, "Is it only possible to check in at 2 o'clock?", "Then it won't be later than 2 o'clock, right?" The answer was: YES. As soon as 2 o'clock came, I appeared at the front desk. The staff member wearing a headscarf whispered a few words to the staff around him, and then he was willing to take out the key. It is a boutique hotel after all, why is it so harsh on guests that they can't even check in ten minutes early? Environment and room: The room is very retro and has a nice feel. Lighting essential oils when checking in is very relaxing, but after a closer look at the facilities, they are really retro too. No matter how well maintained they are, they are still old. There were even patches on the bed sheets, which was speechless. The bed sheets were not very clean and my skin was sensitive so I started to get a rash after lying on it for a while at night. Be careful, there are a lot of mosquitoes at night. I spent the whole night swatting them, and this is still the cool season in Bangkok. Also, in the middle of the night, there would be a big bird in the garden making a terrifying scream. When I was woken up for the first time, I wondered who was screaming. Geographical location: I went there once 6 years ago. At that time, the nearby private hospital was still a construction site and the road was not easy to find. Now that the hospital has been built, the traffic in the vicinity has become even more devastating. If you just stay in the hotel, you will feel like you are in a paradise, but the garden is quite small and the scenery is very simple. This time I didn't have the amazing feeling as when I first visited 6 years ago. All in all, after one night's experience, I found the atmosphere of this Southeast Asian World War II-era mansion to be quite good, but don't have too high expectations for the living experience.
