On a budget? Find Cheap Hotels in Hua Hin / Cha-am, Thailand

"Sofitel was carefully selected by me, a kind of perfectionist, for my first holiday in Hua Hin with my family (wife and young baby). I have no more words to praise its charming colonial architecture and lush gardens and would like to comment on location, beach, hotel and room facilities. Sofitel is right at the heart of Hua Hin downtown and it can be proved by the presence of McDonalds and Burger King (the only shop in Hua Hin, I think). Hua Hin Railway Station (a famous scene in Hua Hin) and Village Market (the biggest shopping mall) also is just around, as well as the great Mamma Mia Pizza restaurant. Hua Hin beach, the one just in front of Sofitel, is not a good place for swimming(lots of rocks) but it has widest beach ,whitest sand and best view comparing to Cha-Am and Khao Takiap. The sun chair of Sofitel is served not just on beach but inside hotel territory. Your privacy therefore can be protected with exact same sea view. There are three pools in Sofitel, one is particularly for adult (2.6 meters deep) and one is quite kid-friendly. My wife and my baby really like the bed (bedding) in room, Sofitel calls it “MyBed”. It is soft and cozy. The negative things to me are overpriced breakfast and hard/dated towels in bathroom. We enjoyed our stay and will be back. "

"We stayed here during the long weekend (Mother's Day in Thailand). We are lucky to get a very good deal from Agoda because hotels in Hua Hin is quite expensive. We booked since 17Jul13 and check in on 10Aug13. Recommend everyone to stay here because this hotel is clean, safe, staffs are friendly and there are swimming pools right next to the beach. Also Cecada Market is in walking distance (5 minutes walk only). We will go back there again if we go to Hua Hin."

"If you would like to spend your vacation, I think Hilton Hua Hin Resort and Spa Hua Hin / Cha-am is a good choice to stay; reasonable price, location, service, facilities, swimming pool, ocean view room . . . I could be able to walk around the hotel area where surrounding with Local Shop - Local Restaurant, especially seafood restaurant. If I have a chance to visit Hua Hin / Cha-am once again, I think I will stay at Hilton Hua Hin Resort and Spa Hua Hin / Cha-am. Thank you . . . "

"was with my godmum on vacation. excellent service from the staff on enquiries for airport transfer, smooth check-in, great chalet style spacious rooms, very clean, good amenities in room (tv, dvd player, radio, mini bar, hairdryer, free wifi - all trivial but very important!). nice breakfast buffet in my opinion, not too extravagant, excellent breakfast venue with scenic beach. staff are friendly, attentive. very easy to get to the night market. across the street about 5mins walk, lots of massage parlours offering foot reflex and thai massage in clean environment, lots of food outlets from mexican, thai, indian, italian, japanese, korean. spoilt for choices. there's convenience shop too nearby. tuktuk easily available to get you to other places like market village (only decent aircon mall in my opinion). night market was fun. plenty to eat and see and buy. taxi/private cars services available easily too. these also offer day tours. ask around for prices to get the best deal. best to get a good english-speaking driver or else it's just a basic driver's services, and you're left on your own to figure out what you wanna do. there are tour shops across the street too which may be a better option. cha-am itself is about 20-30mins drive away. definitely would choose to stay at baan laksasubha again when i return to hua hin in future. value for money. glad i chose this for my first hua hin visit."

"clean & big room , nice view, everything is OK . we can swimming & use gym . not too far from Hua Hin Railway station (10 minutes driving) & Hua Hin night market (15 minutes driving) . near 7-11 & food place . very recommended place ."

"As we were having a weeks vacation with the family, travelling from Phuket to Chiang Mai and back I chose hotels that had the facility of a swimming pool. Unfortunately the Season Palace Hua Hin were having staff problems in keeping their pool clean. (or maybe a filter problem). Either way the pool was absolutely filthy! And that's coming from someone who has had and maintained a pool for over 25 years. The water was not only murky, which can happen, but it was brown murky, which was dirty water. The 3 b't put a toe in water that was that dirty. Sorry, I am aware that it is the low season in Thailand and all hotels are struggling to stay in business, but there really is no excuse for not keeping a pool clean. All it requires is to backflush the filter regularly and add the appropriate amount of chemicals, if not a salt water pool, which this wasn't. We were also unaware that the restaurant was closed in the evening. Which turned out to be a blessing as it forced us to go into Hua Hin to one of the many great restaurants and have a nice dinner and evening. "

"from outside the hotel is condominium, but the hotel room building is well decorated separately from the other condo builing. room is very well decorated, cosy space, like other boutique hotels. swimming pool shared with condominium, well maintained with kids pool and adult pool separately, also provide enjoyable slider. my kids enjoyed pooln and slider playing a lot. hotel location is in hua hin center with convenient access to hua hin market, plern wan, phra ratchanives palace, restaurants. breakfast buffet line was valuable, not plenty but enough common choices for everyone even my kids also enjoy their meal. really valuable price for this quality. more luxury means more money to waste. really impressive and will be the best choice for next visit in hua hin."

"Though we live in Hua Hin we stay here regularly if we're attending an event, this time it was the local Jazz Festival on the beach. The hotel is large, as are the rooms, and whilst it's comfortable the rooms are very tired, with wallpaper peeling off the walls. As we booked at the last moment we booked via Agoda and paid on arrival, I was a little concerned that after my card had been processed and payment authorised, the lady on reception copied my card details onto a peice of paper, I thought the numbers were blocked out for a reason, the security of the account, she was interested in my concerns. Check-out, as always is painfully slow whilst you have to wait whilst they get someone to check your room. The hotel is ok for the odd night, but probably not for an extended stay, though we would certainly stay there again."
