Rendezvous Classic House is a SHA+ hotel that had very nice and friendly staff that is there to make the stay great.
The hotel is a bit more on the retro side - door locks with keys instead of keycards, no phones in the room, aircon takes about 10 mins to cool the room and it has a retro interior design. Despite the look, the rooms are generally clean and have great upkeep.
The only downside is that the water kettle in my room is rather old (and a little dirty) and I would prefer that the hotel get a new one instead. Additionally, not sure if it is just me or my room, but the aircon may have emitted a very slight sour smell at times. At first, I thought that it was my own clothes, but despite moving everything to the balcony, I still smelt it, so I think it might be the aircon. However, it does not pose a big problem for the stay. The toilet area is also on the smaller side, and I tend to sit side ways.
Features in the room: mini-fridge, dressing table, side tables with lamps, clothing hangers, toilet separate from the shower area, as well as the balcony (we got the room with it).
Note that toothbrushes, body lotion, and hair conditioners are not provided in the bathroom. However, they do provide body wash and shampoo (which smells nice to me). There are 4 towels provided in the room (probably one for swimming (yes, they have a small pool). There are no bedroom slippers.
The balcony view (from our side of the building), allows me to view the sunset in the evening. Although, as the hotel is only 4 stories tall and closely located with other residential buildings, it would be best to close the curtains when not viewing out, as others can easily look into the room.
When making a booking, I requested adjoining rooms and was notified that the request has been approved. My expectation was that the two rooms would have a door between them to join them together. However, do note that adjoining rooms are different from connecting rooms. Adjoining rooms mean that the rooms are next to each other, which was what the hotel assigned to us. It was great that they were able to accommodate our request, which made communication easier.
There are two breakfast options to choose from every day, which we order a day before. Since we are vegetarians, we requested no meat and no alliums (no onion, garlic), and the hotel was happy to adjust the menu item for us.
The staff are friendly and responds quickly. If required, they can also assist in booking transport as well, which they did for our trip to the airport.
Since we needed a pre-departure Covid-19 PCR test for our flight back home, they also helped us to arrange it. When the hospital was late, the hotel staff also helped us to call and rush them, being really helpful in this manner.
The hotel is within walking distance of places like convenience stores, massage places (Chinola Massage), and the night market. It is also a 10 mins car ride to the airport. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Rendezvous Classic House. Would recommend...
Read moreAn incredible stay - I genuinely can't wait to come back! From the very beginning the staff was EXTREMELY kind, helpful, and generous. I had just come from an overnight train and couldn't check in for about 5 hours so they let me store my bags, take my time changing and freshening up, and gave me free coffee with regular refills. I explored for a bit and when I came back to rest, they brought me fresh orange juice. When I could finally check in I could see that my room was a little old, but very clean and had a great view from the mini terrace attached. I loved starting my mornings here with the excellent coffee in the room. Laundry service took 24 hours and breakfast was DELICIOUS and beautifully presented. The location is great too as its within the Old City and from one end of the city to the other is about a 30 minute walk; it's also very close to the Buak Haad Public Park. Overall, the staff (and in particular, one young woman who's name I unfortunately did not get) made my time here so smooth and convenient. I felt so welcomed in their...
Read moreThis hotel is well placed, south of the old town if you like to walk around, it is fine. We stayed three nights at this hotel and the room we had was ok and comfortable. Negative points for people sensitive to noise, the air conditioning is a bit rustling, but we slept well without. What is really poor quality that needs to be improved is the breakfast, no fruit, American basic coffee, only basic lipton black tea while there are plenty of excellent teas in Asia. It's a small lunch to choose from dishes, the ones we tasted are disappointing, the rice overcooked, without any taste of fried rice, and the eggs generally well, but sometimes too cold and undercooked, the bacon seemed pre-heated. In conclusion, the breakfast to review absolutely as it is the least good we have seen in a long time in this range of hotels. On the other hand the staff are helpful and lovely, and I want to thank Miss Toy for her help and these many tips and recommendations. She's adorable,...
