When travelling with small children (ages 2, 5 & 7). It was important to have interconnecting rooms to allow us some space. This was excellent but the booking website said it had a kids club but this was not the case, which was disappointing.
The Siam Bayview Hotel is centrally located with fantastic bay view hence the name.
Close to shopping & markets. Beach across the road, great food and exceptional service.
The staff are a real credit. These people were exceptional given that there was a flood on our first night and the entire town was flooded.
The only exception was the night manager when I stayed there in mid August. The room keys are required to run services in the rooms so you need a spare key to gain access to the room at night. This is not available at the Bayview Hotel. Any night I went out when I returned I had to wait up to twenty minutes for the night manager to see fit to open the room for me. He would ignore me in the lobby and then meet me at the room where he would then proceed to ignore my presence again, while attempting to open the door in the loudest possible way by rotating the key the wrong way, and rattling his big bunch against the door, and generally making so much noise as to wake my wife and children. This was his obvious intention as he did it every night I went out, before giving me a look that he had better things to do with his time, grunting and going back to the lobby to await the next inconvenience to arrive.
I was getting an exceptional deal and enjoying all aspects of my stay so I let it go. But the spare electronic keys are nearly standard and it would avoid Mr Manager having to do a service he obviously resented being required to do as holder of a master key.
But this goose was no reflection on the hotel or its quality and service which was excellent
