Popular Post floridarob Posted October 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2022 Been a lot of comments here how it's a run down hotel, better deals for better hotels, etc.... I think it's as nice as it has ever been.....the bed is very good, I booked a front of the bldg room. Breakfast isn't a buffet I'm told, there are 3 options, Thai, western, Japanese until 10:30 am. I ordered lunch....very delicious.....My friend is staying at the Peninsula, the pics look amazing...but for $25 usd a night, breakfast for 2 and the location near the bars...I'll take Tarntawan any day. Back rooms without food was $17 when I booked..... Also the internet is SUPER fast, 5G connection TMax, alvnv, Axiom2020 and 6 others 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridarob Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 A friend of mine staying at the Peninsula came to stay at Tarntawan to use as a hook-up room while he's in this side of town. He booked a standard room on the back side of the hotel and said it's really run down.... Even though he's paying more, I booked months ago, my room is much nicer....... So back side rooms are what it sounds like many talked about.....if you're considering this hotel, the few bucks more is well worth it apparently.

ggobkk Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Remembering last stay just before Covid the back rooms especially on the lower floors were dark from minimum sun. Since then the Quarter Hotel has opened which should block out light on the upper floors. Floridarob is a long time Tarntawan-er and I respect his judgement so now I might consider a return as long as its on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NIrishGuy Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 Ahh my beloved Tarnatwan - many a multiple happy morning, afternoon and evening spent there :-), brings back some wonderful memories just looking at those pics. Room 510 or there about's per chance ? While you're there would you check under the bed as I'm sure I dropped 1000 baht on my last trip, any chance you could mail it back to me perhaps ?! 🙂 floridarob, fedssocr, Axiom2020 and 6 others 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axiom2020 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I was there a while back and liked every facet about this hotel from the service rendered from those behind the front desk, my calls to my room regarding my guest ( a hot masseur who visited me), the proximity to the clubs/bars, the price per night, etc. But again it was some 14 years ago. FloridaRob is a great one to give salient advice, for he is definitely a "world traveler" who can guide one positively.
