Iron32 Hotel

Internet was bad.

One of those hotels that was so close to being really good, but missed on many so easily improved points. My profession is holiday reviews for several publications so this review is both a personal point of view with that well travelled knowledge base. One of my top negative points is putting a kettle in a room but no tea coffee etc. and no cups just water glasses. Overall this was a high priced basic room, over 60 UK pounds per night. The room was very dated and tired and the paintwork and flooring were damaged making it look grubby. Cleanliness was ok. No wardrobe! Just 4 hangers on wall hooks. The bathroom was typical Thai designe, nothing fancy, but ok. Then there's the noise and sadly I do agree with other reviews on here. I appreciate I'm in Thailand but this first floor room with balcony was over the road and with poorly fitted doors it was like sleeping in a tent on the pavement. Also interior noise from guests/cleaners was high from 6am due to sticky floor covering and lovely but noisy wooden staircases. The noise issue was one of 2 issue that did spoil the stay, the next point... I was locked out on my 2nd night! The key card was faulty, proven the following day by staff. Rang the bell, phoned but no one answered. Nightmare finding another hotel at just after midnight, and no apologies offered or refund for the night. On an up note the funky cafe is rather cool. Overall though I personally could not recommended this hotel.

The hotel is in a great area, close to the night Baazar and service is great. Definitelly recommended.

Lovely place. Room spacious and clean. Turbo really looked after us and is Keen to make a good go of the place and it shows. We unfortunately couldn't take advantage of the breakfast as we had an early start each day. Our room had a balcony which overlooked the road which was great for people watching. The location couldn't be better really handy for everything. Also don't be put off by the fact it's called a bar. It's really a lovely smart modern cafe type place but the rooms are completely soundproofed we slept like logs!

The hotel has a good feel, it is clean with good location. The staff is friendly. The room I booked however has no windows which is very strange and disorienting when you wake up in the morning and it is pitch dark. I’m surprised it is even allowed as in case of fire there is no way to ascape the room. In addition the shower is leaking lots of water to the outside of the enclosure and bathroom floor is pitched in such a way the it is constantly flooded. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. I would not stay in that room again and would not recommend it. I’m sure other rooms in the hotel may be perfectly fine. Side note on the breakfast, there are only 2 choices on the menu which gets boring if stay for more than 2 nights.
