โรงแรมสวยและใหม่ แต่อาหารเช้าให้น้อยมาก ขอเพิ่มแล้วพนักงานบอกเตรียมพอแค่จำนวนแขกเข้าพักเท่านั้น เช่น เลือกข้าวมันไก่ก็จะได้แค่ 1 จาน ถ้าเลือกข้าวต้มก็จะได้แค่ 1 ชาม มีหมูปิ้งไม้เล็กๆให้ห้องละเซ็ท ไม่สามารถขอเพิ่มได้ เทียบกับราคาที่จ่ายแล้ว คิดว่าน่าจะดีกว่านี้

Fint och lite annorlunda hotell. Allt bra förutom att sängen var mycket hård och AC´n (trots väldigt ny) väsnades en hel del. Trädgård,poolområde,restaurang och frukost mycket bra. Närheten tillMaeKlong Railway market avgjorde valet denna gång.

A special place to be

From the moment we set our foot in the compound of The Buffalo Amphawa, we could see a lot of love has been putting into building this special place. The unique and fun concept is beautifully integrated into the design and built. All the bamboo and buffalo arts are simply fun and delightful. Those big trees add charms to the place. The room is a good size but the bathroom is a tad too small. There's no place to put any toiletries which is a bit inconvenient (in fact the hotel has to place the amenities and face towel outside the bathroom). Sleep experience is regrettably not what we had hoped for. The mattress is very firm. The most disappointing is the pillows! Both are hard and break-neck high! They received the lowest point from the 5 of us. Staff members are all lovely and helpful. Our Thai lunch was average. Breakfast, Egg Benedict was overcooked that the yolks were hard instead of runny and the Hollandaise sauce also dry. We know it's soft-opening right now and these may be all little things but they are all the things that make a difference to a stay. We certainly will give them another shot when they are fully operational. Can't wait to see Rusty Rose when it is complete and hope that the food and service will live up to the grand design.
