Ban Rai Holidays

The location of this hotel was perfect and being in the middle of Chinatown was huge plus for me. The hotel staff was very helpful, friendly and welcoming. I really appreciate the generous size of the room and unique and highend amenities, such as the raised full size bathtub.

I had to leave one night early because of an unexpected emergency. I contacted the hotel to request a refund for the unused night, but they refused and simply said the booking was non-refundable. Expedia advised me that the hotel had the option to refund the unused night, but the hotel chose not to. On top of that, there was a dirty/unpleasant smell coming from the bed sheets, which made the room uncomfortable and raised serious concerns about cleanliness. I was also charged for a phone service that I did not use, which was very frustrating. I should not have to pay for services I never used. And if they thinking calling a toll free Expedia number is a charge that is not very customer friendly. Overall, I felt that the hotel was focused more on collecting every possible dollar than providing good customer service or taking care of its guests. Emergencies happen, and I expected at least some understanding and fairness. I will not be returning to this hotel, and I would encourage other travelers to carefully consider these issues before booking. Very disappointing experience.
