Ko Lan View Point

I was very disappointed when I got to the hotel and especially to my room. The pictures are not representative at all. The hotel is old and not well maintained. My room was smelling bad when we arrived. The staff was very helpful however and the hotel is well located. It is a 3 star hotel, do not expect more.

Modern hotel with a rooftop Infinity Pool with a good view of Bangkok's skyline. Got a ticket for a welcome drink which was nice. We booked two rooms which were joining rooms which was nice. They only accept cash deposits and don't give it back to you until they inspect the rooms before you leave. The inspection actually discovered my daughter leaving her Apple charger and cord there so actually helpful. Room's AC was powerful and made the room a bit cold even when I raised it up to 26 celcius. Ari is quite a bit different from Sukhumvit as it feels more local than touristy. But if you look for the trendy cafes, they are there in Ari although they are way more expensive than typical Thai stores. I would stay at the Ari again if I wanted to stay in that neighborhood.
