A-Te Chumphon Hotel - SHA Plus

Very nice hotel with a touch of luxury, in a town in which not many tourists stop over (but should). I had a nice pool view, and the room was modern, with only slight wear. The chair/desk arrangement was form over function, though: the chair is designed to fit snugly under the desk, but the consequence being that your knees/thighs crash into the desk. Oh, well, I still got my work done. The gym is small and rudimentary with aging equipment, but I still got a fine workout out of it. A somewhat solid walk from the train station, but doable for most. Summary: I would come back in a heartbeat.

The staff is absolutely wonderful, very welcoming and helpful when we had to book transport to our next travel destination. They even offered to heat our meals one evening when we couldn’t be bothered to go out to eat and instead has bought some food from 7/11 (which is surprisingly delicious compared to Danish 7/11 food) and then brought the food to our room. Such a nice gesture and it made us feel very at home. They furthermore insisted that they helped us with renting scooters and brought them to the hotel (without charging us extra), which was lovely so we didn’t have to find a shop ourselves and they took care of everything so all we had to do was pay and drive! Also, the pool is great and we had it to ourselves most of the time. Breakfast is good too.

The room was really nice. The staff were awesome! Loved the balcony overlooking the pool and the tranquil and lush ambiance of the whole place. The location was great too. Fairly short walk to the train station and about a 10 minute walk from a motorbike rental place (Fame Tours). Perfect place to stay for a few days to explore the beautiful and under-touristed Chumphon province!

Staff. A real swimming pool. Huge breakfast buffet

What a nice and friendly welcome from the staff ! The check in was quick, all our luggage - a lot ! - was taken to our room, everything was quick and efficient. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding, lots of choice, not only Thai but also European dishes. The omelette lady and coffee guy couldn't have been nicer and friendlier. Fantastic coffee, fantastic omelettes, fantastastic reception staff, fantastic service !
