Ban Ao Thong Reviews

i have stayed here many times.. very nice hotel, clean and friendly.. a very good selection of restaurants nearby for all tastes

Fantastic room, lovely warm staff. Excellent value. Best hotel in Trang for the price. Amazing value.

Reception was welcoming and helpful, but housekeeping was not. Don’t ask for anything extra (towels, pillows, coffee etc.) or you'll get a flat “NO” and a bad attitude. Rooms are small with tiny windows but nicely appointed, and clean. Great location next to the train station for exploring the town of Trang and its history and local markets.

The room and staff are so nice. Family room type is perfect for family so much space

Very good location next to train station yet not noisy.

Good, compact room, enough parking, convenient transportation, near the walking street, Trang train station.

OK for one night

This is a lovely hotel. It was a very welcome haven, quiet and centrally located. The front desk is incredibly helpful and friendly. It is comfortable, clean and pretty. There is a wine cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The wine selection is quite extensive, including South American, African, European, and North American. Prices are inexpensive for rooms and wine. This would be my first choice to stay if I'm ever in Trang again!

Trang is a sleepy rural town in southern Thailand that doesn’t have a huge amount to commend it; true, it is the home of the first ever rubber tree to enter Thailand, is well-known for its dim sum and particular style of a very tasty crispy pork - but It also possesses a one-way system which would baffle a London taxi driver and, once finally negotiated, bizarrely displays a sign stating ‘Trang Bypass Route this way’…. Having said that, it is certainly an excellent place for an overnight stop when motoring to or from Malaysia, and - having done it a few times now – I can certainly recommend the Ban Ao Thang hotel. Right in the centre of town adjacent to the railway station, it has masses of free parking outside and gives easy access to the local markets – and KFC! The rooms are basic rural Thai; somewhat depressing in decor but extremely clean and comfortable. What makes this hotel, however, is the bar life and restaurant. Situated on the veranda, the staff can mix an incredible array of cocktails, provide extremely well cooked food from a surprisingly large menu and – if that was not enough – entertain you with a one man band! The staff are of course extremely polite and obliging – as is generally the case in Thailand – and it is worth having a look at the contents of the hotels wine collection, another area of interest in this remarkable little hotel. Go - you won’t be disappointed.

The price was reasonable for the room and general atmosphere. There were some minor issues that could have been easily fixed and yet were not. We were on the top floor, before you enter your room there is an outside swing door. These banged open and closed all night due to the wind. So did the room next to us. I had to wear ear plugs, I don’t know how my wife survived. If you’re not on the top floor, this may not be relevant. They did not clean our room because we had put the sign on the door that said “clean room”. I believe they have English signs but can’t read English so assumed the sign meant “do not disturb”. No breakfast or breakfast option at their restaurant. The price was low enough that I’d go back.

Great guesthouse with nice staff , we really liked it. In the center of the city, near the railway station and night markets. Perfect for transit. Just near, you got restaurants and five star massage, Yapa Hattawet Traditional Thai Massage.

Hotel in the liveliest part of the city. Really well furnished and with the room complete with all services. The staff is friendly and helpful and the price paid is really low compared to the quality received. On the ground floor there is also a really nice wine bar.

The hotel looks nice and authentic, but the bar/restaurant next to the entrance hall is noisy until at least 12pm. The staff can barely speak English and there are hardly any rooms on the other side of the hotel. The hotel is so thinly soundproof that you can hear everything from the neighboring rooms. The bass from the bar can probably be heard everywhere. The air conditioning is also not adjustable properly. But opening the window is not an option given the noise.
