I enjoyed my two night stay at the Norndee. I really liked the architecture of this boutique hotel. The location was great, just a few steps from the Cicada and Tamarind Markets (a must visit if staying in HuaHin). As a solo traveler, the room was perfect for me. Coffee set-up is included in the price (a must have for me). The breakfast that was provided was perfect. It’s not a full buffet but more of an expanded continental. The hotel is super clean and well maintained, you can tell the owners and staff take pride in their building. Here are two examples of great customer service at the Norndee. 1. I checked in around 11am, knowing the room wouldn’t be ready until 2pm. I used the pool for a short time to cool off and then headed out to the beach. When I returned at 3pm, the room was ready and my bags had been placed in the room. While this might be expected at a high end resort, it was not expected at this boutique property. 2. I generally don’t need housekeeping to refresh my room on such a short stay so I usually have the “do not disturb” sign on the door. I do need my coffee and water replenished and will generally go to the front desk for these items. When I got back to my room in the afternoon, there was a bag on my door handle with bottled waters and additional coffee supplies! That to me is customer service and again reflects the pride this owner/staff have. Thank you for a great stay! I can definitely...
Read moreIf you plan to visit Cicada and Tamarind Market for consecutive nights over weekends, this hotel will be a good choice. ||My family of 2 adult and 2 children stayed at the family room for 3 nights. Booked directly through the hotel website. The bed is definitely big enough for 4 but the hotel staff insisted that we pay extra 500baht/night for additional bed which we did not even used throughout our stay. Thought they could be flexible. The room was clean and spacious but just like others had mentioned, the music and singing from the nearby pubs may be an issue to light sleepers. Staying on the top floor did not help at all.||Breakfast was included. The food which was mainly Thai was delicious on the first day, fine on the second and almost boring on the third day as there was not much choices. No complaints for the amount we paid though. ||There are sufficient parking spaces just outside the hotel. Guest was mainly locals during our stay. Can't say much about the staff as there was minimal interaction with them. Bear in mind this is a budget hotel so do not expect much service (eg. Carrying of luggage)||Overall stay was ok but not for too many nights due to the noise...
Read moreWe stayed for one night at Norndee while on our journey to Southern Thailand.||This review is for a Wednesday checkin, so the bar next door was not playing music at all, as other reviewers have noted loud music till midnight, so perhaps the bar noise issue is only on the weekend? ||The hotel style overall is contemporary with some thoughtful design elements.||Checkin staff were not very engaging, and this continued throughout our stay. Looked like mobile phones were more interesting. The exception was the man on duty early morning preparing the breakfast. He was very friendly.||We really liked our room design and soundproofness. The bed was a real king size and was very comfortable, more like soft/firm of Western style compared to the usual Thai hard style. We noticed one of the coat hooks coming out of the wall, but otherwise everything else was in good shape and very clean.||5* for sleep quality.||We used the small pool and lounge...
