A Positive Stay at Maleesa Place with a Few Points to Note
Our stay at Maleesa Place in Hua Hin was a great vacation overall, thanks in large part to the hotel's fantastic location. It's truly in a central and quiet area, making it easy to walk to the beach, two major shopping malls (including Tesco Lotus), the train station, and the night market.
The staff were generally helpful, though our check-in was a bit rocky when they initially couldn't find our booking. This was quickly sorted out after we showed our confirmation. A 300 baht deposit for the access card was required, and we were not shown to our room, but these are minor points. They were flexible with our check-out time, allowing a three-hour extension for 100 baht per hour, and kindly stored our luggage afterward.
The room itself was modern, but a few things could be improved. The room felt a bit dark, and the air conditioning was dirty and noisy when we arrived. Thankfully, a technician was sent right away to clean it, which solved the problem. The bed was a bit on the small side (1.45 x 1.90 meters), but it was comfortable enough for us. The kitchen amenities were limited, and only one towel (+1 small per stay)per person was provided, though it was easy to get clean towels and daily housekeeping on request.
The hotel's location next to the shopping mall did have a slight downside: we could hear some noise at night from the mall's machinery and pumps. However, this was not a major issue and the sound of cars and people was minimal.
Overall, we would recommend Maleesa Place. The presence of a light breakfast and snacks was a nice touch, and the ability to get around easily with a "Songthaew" for 15-30 baht made exploring Hua Hin very convenient. Despite the small issues, we had a very enjoyable stay in a part of Thailand that feels more polite and cleaner than the big cities.
