The room was fashionable and the staff was caring! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Very modern interior, nice restaurant. It was across the central area. All in all a romantic hotel and pleasant stay.

The hotel has pleasant location and rooms and is well priced. There's variety of restaurants to choose from, like Kin Khao, situated within 5 minutes walk or so.

We appreciated spending 1 night here. The room was air conditioned, the staff was friendly bilingual and the location was relatively quiet. The buffet breakfast was generous, included : butter, hot waffles, boiled eggs and cheese. Had soft drinks in the poolside bar.
We didn't like the bed, it was not great also the views were not so good.

Fairly clean, absolutely gorgeous hotel, particularly good location. Well equipped, unique room with a comfy bed. Extremely friendly staff and everything was quite new. Having different bottled drinks in the honesty bar was a very nice touch.

Superior hotel with ACCOMMODATING staff and very good breakfast. Our superior king room had a personal safe, air conditioner and a study table. Can recommend it and will choose the place for future trips.
Not obvious to find.

We appreciated to be at 1898 The Post, its amenities and atmosphere. Fab views. Moreover, we could park our car nearby. Du Progres, where you can eat, is within short walking distance of the hotel...
