Target Regency

[Som Tom]

Currently staying at the Target Regency GH opposite the Chaba Hut Resort; my 2nd stay here. Deluxe rooms 450 baht superior 600, with discounts for monthly stays. The owner is a really nice Malaysian fellow. 79 baht well drinks all day. Attached massage parlor with in-call service. Accepts credit cards. Next door is a good restaurant with an excellent English breakfast. There are 2 sets of rooms now I'm in a new deluxe room facing Buakow. The back rooms face a small beer bar complex and I was told it's nosier than mine.

 

Pros:

back door entrance (no pun intended LOL)

large room with large window

fast 8mps WiFi

room safe

locking cabinet (great for storing notebooks)

quiet AC

DVD

small empty fridge

Soi Buakow location with 2-way songthaews for easy barhopping

Soi Buakow Market is just 50 meters away

no gawking tour groups on Soi Buakow only mongers LOL

 

Cons:

street noise

curtains don't block all the light (I hang clothes to help darken the room)

no cupboard for hanging clothes (new rooms only)

box spring mattress only

every other day cleaning

it takes awhile for the water to heat up

i booked 3 nights there from last Monday till Thursday...I was very very disappointed by the 450 baths Deluxe room i booked...The room was too small and old...I asked the reception lady if i could book a superior room but they were already fully booked...

A female staff employee helped me to get my luggage upstairs at my check-in but she did not speak any english and did not smile at all so i did not give her any tip...

The Wifi was very good but there was no desk inside the room to put my netbook on...A lot of street noise at night...

No soap and shampoo in the tiny bathroom, i had to buy my own at the nearby 7-Eleven...

The AC was old and not cool enough..

I spent only 1 night in that room koz even the thai chick i barfined and brought back there told me that her own room was better !!

I asked to visit the only room left at the Jollys next to the Target Regency, the room was better but more expensive (900 Baths per night) but eventually i booked 2 nights at the Areca Lodge in LK Metro since i wanted to try that hotel...Much more expensive (1600 Baths) but a room so much better than the Target one !

i left my big luggage at the Target for the whole stay koz they did not want to give me back my money if i decided to cancel the last 2 nights....

The only good points for the Target were its location and the back door entrance that you could use at night to avoid the "walk of shame"...

But forget it and avoid it at all costs if you want a good hotel, there are other good options in the vicinity...Next time i'll book again at the China Garden Soi Lengkee which is the best value IMHO....
