I waited a few months before I wrote this, wanting to give the hotel a chance to make up for their terrible showing of customer service... to no avail. Making matters worse while they acknowledged and promised to make up they never did!
We booked the hotel through Agoda, for my wife to recover a few days following surgery in Bangkok. We had been to Hua Chang a few times and despite their terrible WiFi, non existent pool and mediocre breakfast we liked the room and wanted to go back considering we would be mostly indoors.
We arrived and the hotel refused to honour our confirmed reservation stating they had no more deluxe rooms and asked us to go elsewhere! With a sick wife and without any wrong doing on my side, I refused to give in. Front desk manager mr Paisan or “Bank” despite admitting they had a suite available they did not chose to upgrade us (“upgrades are the discretion of the hotel”); despite us being multiple returning customers...
Long story short, we wasted 70 min in their lobby, stressed and frustrated, they asked me to call agoda (and suffered roaming charges) without even offering us a bottle of water all this time! Completely inconsiderate, with a sick customer, rude and unwilling to help. Finally they chose to upgrade someone else as magically they found a deluxe room... not a single apology or offering.
Weeks later director of sales (Isaraphong Tanaputhi) apologised, committed to make it up next time and when we called in for it he never did stick to it! extraordinairy.
Worst customer service ever experienced.
Good thing Bangkok offers thousands of better options..
