OYO 447 Royal Express Hua Hin

This hotel is a little inconvenient because you need to go across the road to another hotel (Hua Hin Loft) to check-in as they don't have a check-in system for some reason. They have a small front desk downstairs but cannot check-in. The hotel looks like a dump from the outside, but the rooms are not too bad. We stayed for two nights and our rooms were not cleaned. When we asked why it was not cleaned, the guy just said the house keeping was not working that day! Also, our key card did not work for some reason, and it took the guy about 30 minutes to get it fix since he had to run across the street a few times to the other hotel. In the end, the card still did not work, so he just opened the door with a key. We just left it since we were checking out the next day. The wifi is super fast though, and the location is prime, as it is located pretty much in the center of Hua Hin.

Staff couldn’t care less. Rooms not maintained, no water on one day. Room cleaner doesn’t show up. The list goes on and on.

Bad Experience 1. Across street six lanes traffic to C/N. 2. Room bad smell. Old & no maintainence. 3. Towel is turn brown and smelly including all bed linen. 4. Electric shower not working. 5. Some room light not working. 6. Staff smoking on their post near stairways. 7. No parking as advertised. Parking on side street. 8. Electric kettle are smelly and dirty.

The hotel is located on the Petchkasem main road and is in the centre of the town.Important places like the Hua Hin Beach, Night market, Railway station, Massage parlours, Restuarants all are within 10 min walk. It is a budget hotel with all basic amneties. The hotel doesn't have elevator facility. We stayed on the 3rd floor and our window was facing the town. They have a restaurant but we preferred to have food elsewhere. If you are looking for good comfort and great service, then not the correct place to stay but if you are looking to stay in the heart of the town with everything easily accessible and not too bothered about the comfort factor, then this is a great place to stay. Strongly recommended for budget travellers.

I left the room about 11 O'clock but the hotels cleaning lady forgot my room 2 times in a week. And every day forget something like soap or water. Security for fire very bad. The lock to my door worked sometimes. No elevator. But bed very good and wifi excellent

I enjoyed my stay in the Royal Express. The room and bathroom were clean, medium in size. The staff were friendly and efficient. The hotel is near many restaurants,bars and shops all within a 15 minutes walk. The water, shower, lighting, frig, old tv, airco all operated well with enough cupboard space. The hotel is good value, the in-room safe and two chairs is a plus. Check-in is at an hotel opposite in soi78. There is no lift in the building.
