  A hotel to watch!

  We made our reservation with Anika Hotel though booking.com and stayed there from January 25-28, 2020. Its location is excellent as it is near the Chang Puak (Elephant) Gate on the northern wall of the old city. Across the moat from the hotel is the Chang Puak night market with its delicious food stalls of khan soi, pickled pork leg, and duck. The hotel is relatively new and it is still in the process of getting its service fully settled. Our room was booked for 3 persons, 2 adults and a teen-age child, yet the room we received (although spacious) did not have an extra bed. They had an Asian wooden sofa with a thin mattress that had the length of a love seat, and described as a "sofa bed". Our teenager was expected to sleep in this "sofa bed" and when we requested for an extra bed for her, we were told none were available. They did bring another thin mattress and beddings for her which we then arranged on the floor for her to sleep during our 3-night stay. The other glitches were minor. For example, they still need to learn to anticipate customer needs when the room has more than 2 occupants, i.e., had to repeatedly ask for extra towels, extra amenities, and extra toilet paper during our stay. Their wifi is weak particularly when the hotel is full. The hot water is more warm than hot. That being said, we still recommend Anika highly to others for the following reasons. The front desk provided excellent service. Rattawan was specially helpful, efficient, graceful and went out of her way to address our needs and questions. Our room was spacious, very clean, and has a separate tub and shower. It was so clean that we actually enjoyed a soak in the tub several times during our stay. The breakfast room on the ground level is open-air and very refreshing in the morning. The Thai breakfast buffet was delicious and they have an espresso/cappuccino machine for guests! It is an easy walk to the center of the old city where we enjoyed the Sunday Night walking market. There is a massage spa three doors away that is both reasonable and good. As the management of the hotel learns to fine-tune its hospitality service, Anika Hotel will be one to watch!

  Just ok, too expensive

  This hotel "just does the job", no more, no less. For the price charged I would expect much more. The hotel is clean and staff is friendly, but it is very impractical in many ways: - Rooms are loud, with other guests easily heard from the hallways - The rooms feel tight, with doors arranged in impractical ways (e.g. bathroom doors require you to open them, step in the bathroom, and close them again to access the toilet and shower area) - Have fun hitting your lower shin on the bedframe every day - Bed pillows are like bricks - There is a balcony but no chairs or table to actually enjoy it in any way - Breakfast buffet is disgusting with flies everywhere - Coffee machine is frequently broken, being cleaned or out of supplies That being said, the hotel location is quite central, and the outside architecture of the hotel looks quite nice. If the price were cheaper, I would recommend it, but not like this.

  Modern oasis in the heart of town

  Brand new small boutique hotel (1 year old), spotlessly clean with great minimalist wood veneered rooms and parquet floors. Slight Japanese feel to them. Not expensive, real value for money. Within walking distance of all the main downtown sites. Owner and female assistants charming with excellent English. Good breakfast. We warmly recommend staying here.

  また、泊まりたい！

  タクシーもソンテウも拾いやすく、どこに行くのにも便利でした。 部屋は清潔、スタッフは皆フレンドリーで、気持ちよく過ごせました。 浴槽があるのがとても良かったです。

  スタッフがフレンドリーで大変親切に対応してくれた事は大変満足 ただ、お部屋のシャワーの排水が悪く調整してくれたが、あまり良くならなかった事が残念だった
