Noise level and wifi at LK Empress

[ringadingding]

Has anyone recently stayed at LK Empress? The hotel is on Beach road. How is the level of noise in room? How is wifi and other services? I was thinking of booking it for my October trip.

 

Thanks in advance.

I stayed in 2 different rooms in oct/nov last year, one was facing the rear looking at abother building, the other had a balcony over soi13?

 

Neither were noisy, the only thing I could generally hear was myself snoring unless I was on the balcony.

 

Wifi was fine, the aircon in one of the rooms started leaking a puddle but they had it fixed within 30mins.

 

From memory the rooms were on level 2 and 4, front rooms may be more prone to noise though.

Stayed there in January and only a minority of rooms face the front and are potentially noisy.  Mine faced vacant land between Soi 12 and 13 and so was very quiet.  Wi-fi was fine.

I am In LK EMPRESS   NOW!    

 

Have been here since Apr 27.

 

It's a busy week in TOWN = May 1-2 Thai Laborers Holiday.

 

I am on the 5th floor IN THE BACK OF hotel - NOT FACING BEACH ROAD

and I can sleep like a ROCK!   QUIET

 

WiFi - is great so far.    If it drops - you call to desk and they send up a guy to check the hallway router immediately    Great service!

 

Good Luck.

Excellently timed query as I just grabbed a beachfront room there for my autumn trip.

 

I am leaving my first mistress, Areca Lodge, so I hope it is worth it.

A word of warning.  The rooms that face Walking Street are noisy.  There is a building being demolished in Soi 12.  In true Thai style there are about 8-10 people demolishing a 6 story concrete building using only jack hammers and oxy's.  There is a continual jack hammer noise for about 10 hours every day.  It has been going for some time and at the rate they're working, I suspect it will go for some months to come.

 

Rooms that face Central do not have a noise issue.
