After a long motor cycle trip on a hot day we could not be bothered hunting around, so took this hotel with the attraction of a very nice pool. The rooms are not finished with no covering's on the bare cement floor. Computers are free and breakfast average. Quite location and easy walk to town. At THB1500 it's THB500 over the top in my opinion,
The rooms were intentionally minimalist but comfortable and clean. The pool was reasonably good though never saw it cleaned and there are awkward partitions around the one side of the pool. The location was excellent and an easy walk to town.
Our biggest complaints were that the staff were generally not very competent or attentive (e.g. no one at the restaurant/bar to serve you at most times; often would have to walk to reception so they could page someone) and that the breakfasts were pretty abysmal (though we learned on our last day that you could order additional items to be custom made for you which was an improvement). We did order dinner on e night from the restaurant and even though we were the only ones dining, the food was made fresh and was quite good.
I think we ended up staying at a bad time as it was Songkran (Thai New Year) and I think many of the regular staff were absent because of this which means that some of the staff that were there were filling roles they perhaps weren't properly trained for. Overall, during our stay, we felt like we were paying a bit of a premium (compared to other accommodation in Pai) but not really getting the service that should accompany that premium.
After having a bad experience at another hotel out of town, we arrived here and were relieved to find they had vacancies and two rooms available with an ajoining balcony. We were also right by the pool, which was perfect for the 8 and 3 year old children that were with us. They could play to their hearts' content in the pool while we kept watch from the balcony.
The food was decent in the restaurant and most of all, the location was ideal as it was just a short walk (or free shuttle bus) into town.
This hotel turned what was almost a nightmare holiday into a great one. We would definitely stay here again.
The service here is great from the moment you book to the moment you leave. The hotel is a lovely place with luxury bungalows, beautifully maintained grounds and a lovely infinity pool, which was occupied only by us and some lovely red dragonflies. They organise a private tour of the area, which I highly reccommend. The guide was informative and took care of us really well. Breakfast was included and was delicious. We could have anything we wanted, there was no limit. The only thing I would have reservations about are the outside bathrooms on the top floor of the bungalows. While a great design feature, these unfortunately attract a lot of mosquitos, so I would recommend taking a downstairs room. When we requested this, there was no problem in changing. The people there are so nice that when I ran out of gas in my motorbike, they went to bring me some. The hotel is near enough to the centre of things to be convenient, but also very quiet at night, so you get a great sleep. Top marks the quarter!
The Quarter is a 3 minute walk form city center, restaurants, bars, and the night market. Rooms clean and staff very helpful in recommending restaurants and things to see. Breakfast -Thai and Western food - starts at 06:30 which is great for early coffee drinkers. Medium size room and large bathroom with great walk-in shower! A relaxing and peaceful setting. 2nd time I have stayed at the Quarter.
