The Poem Hotel Reviews

Positives: ＞ Beautifully designed - the outward appearance of the hotel is quite spectacular and is very well decorated. ＞ Comfortable rooms - the beds are large and comfortable with plenty of pillows and cushions and the rooms have plenty of places to sit. ＞ Room size - rooms are large and feel spacious. ＞ Cleanliness - The hotel was immaculately clean in all areas. ＞ Staff - Staff were very friendly and accommodating. ＞ Location - the location is ideal for walkability to shops, restaurants and the beach. Negatives: ＞ Events - The hotel also hosts events which can be very loud and go on late into the night. ＞ Doors/soundproofing - We noticed that there was a significant gap in our door which meant that it wasn't particularly soundproof and we were kept awake most of the night (until 2am) by other guests outside our room. ＞ Location - although I have stated the positives about the location above, the negatives are that the hotel is in close proximity to some bar with live music or karaoke which is incredibly loud and can go on very late into the night. Both the noise from the guests at this hotel and the event down the road was very significant and kept us awake late into the night. ＞ Breakfast - Breakfast is served cold. Although they have the equipment to keep the food warm, for some reason they choose not to. Unless you are lucky enough to catch something as soon as it is placed in the container it will go cold quickly. Eggs, bacon, fried rice, local dishes etc are all cold by the time you get them which is not common for Thai hotels and also very disappointing. Comments for the hotel: ＞ Doors - please ensure all doors do not have gaps in between. This can be done easily with some rubber lining on the door frame. This would increase the soundproofing of the room dramatically. ＞ Noise - I understand that the hotel cannot control the bar down the street which plays loud music all night but it does have control over its own events and its own guests. There should be strict rules about drunk guests making noise late into the night and knocking on doors. Nowhere in the rules does it state "quiet hours" which I believe it should. I understand that events at the hotel serve as a large source of the hotel's income, but there's no need to neglect other guests who stay there. ＞ Breakfast - use the equipment you already own properly and keep the breakfast food hot. I do not know any Thai people who enjoy cold food and keeping the food warm would increase the quality of the breakfast dramatically. Despite being a small cafe, the breakfast has quite a variety and the flavour is good but the temperature of the food really ruins the breakfast.

The hotel is beautiful and nice in Rayong. Room was Very clean and big, comfy bed and pillows. There are lot of amenities. In the room there is the poem of Phra Sunthorn Vohara (he’s a royal poet began in the reign of King Rama2). Swimming pool was nice. Service is great. Just cross the road to the beach.

Many places to eat around and 7-11 is close. No room service and not selling any drinks in the swimming pool bar even though they have lots of drinks available in the fridge. Strange. Very cool air con

Good location, 100 m from the beach. The beach is usually quiet, a few people, mostly the locals with families and some Scandinavian tourists. Food at the restaurants and on the beach is amazing. The pool of the hotel is nice, clean and tidy. If you like running in the mornings, the road along the beach is so good. From one end to the other end is about 3.4 km and if you do a round trip, you complete your morning run…

Great location. Plenty of restaurants around. Easy to go to the beach.

Good room

Beautiful rooms in modern style The big bed was comfortable. There is convenient parking. Walk across the road and find the beach. On the 5th floor, there are seats to enjoy the breeze and admire the view. Breakfast is not diverse. There are delicious Thai desserts to eat.

The hotel is located in an interesting location, modern, good rooms, cool pool, but has many disadvantages. This: 1. Of the 5 days of our vacation, 2 times in the evening the pool was closed for a banquet, not for hotel guests. 2, the rooms are not cleaned every day, the level of cleaning is poor, under the bed was not cleaned even once. 3. Breakfast is cold, the choice is small. 4. Loud music until 23.00 from a neighboring hotel 5. They didn’t help with moving things upon check-in and check-out 6. The children lived on the second floor, the room had an unpleasant musty smell The level of the hotel is not worthy of 4 stars, maximum 3 and then only a stretch. The hotel manager needs to be changed.

Clean accommodation

The public relations person is not very smiling, the welcome is not good, the breakfast is good. Thai desserts are very delicious.

Clean rooms, cool air conditioning, complete amenities. close to the sea

Beautiful location, nice rooms, very comfortable, very complete amenities. Excellent breakfast, very good quality

A hotel with pretensions to the MODERN style, but a little shabby - the wallpaper is scuffed, the laminate is scratched. Everywhere there is a regime of strict savings on guests. A very strange situation with breakfast - when booking, a BUFFET was specified, which is why we actually booked this hotel. In fact, breakfasts follow some strange menu, consisting of eggs or an omelet to choose from. After we were indignant, they immediately brought soups and fruits and dessert. The buffet is only available on weekends when the Thai crowd arrives. The dishes are all cold and very spicy - all only for locals. As it is, the hotel is empty and they are not going to cook, especially for the farangs. Everything was somehow flawed, it seemed to us. But the girls at the reception helped with everything! Thanks to them!

New and very clean rooms, good service staff. Come again next time.
