Maduzi Hotel: "Amazing Room"
Maduzi is accessible, 5 minutes walk from asoke. The room is super spacious and bed was so comfortable. We had such a great rest every night. Panpuri products provided for bath was fantastic too. Gym facilities was good too.Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Fantastic – book ahead"
"Booked on what I read here and was not disappointed at all. Great options and flavours. Two of us - we had one of the tasting menus each so we could try many dishes. Lots of great things, each dish was well thought out and presented. Well worth a go. Wine list good and priced well. Highly recommended."The Cabochon Hotel: "Excellent. A must stay while in Bangkok"
"This hotel is small yet feels luxurious. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything you need. The staff were a delight - helpful, informative and friendly. The food at breakfast and at dinner was excellent - delicious, adventurous and beautifully presented. The restaurant and breakfast room are a treasure trove of artefacts. The roof top pool is a wonderful touch with views that give you a very good feel for Bangkok. "Rachamankha: "The only place in the world “Pan-Asian” is done well"
"I've traveled to 5 continents and am always skeptical of places that serve cuisine from more than one Asian country, but this place managed to pull it off. We got multiple salads, and I now want to eat those salads for every meal for the rest of my life. Somehow, there were many cuisines represented, but each dish felt authentic and honoring the ingredients. Also, it featured great relaxing live traditional music. Stayed March 2016"Satri House: "Authentic Experience"
"Satri House delivers on its promise of being ""a historic destination, a unique design"". The original house was run as a hotel since 2002 and was extended in 2008 reflecting the original architecture. We stayed over Songkran for 4 nights and were warmly welcomed by Jacques Mury (General Manager) and Navinda Imbubpa (Guest Experience Manager). On arrival to the room, we were impressed by the handwritten welcome note from Jacques. Whilst it is true that the hotel is located close to a fairground (the source of techno music correctly referred to in the previous review), we understand that Luang Prabang is always tranquil and that the volume we experienced was limited to this New Year festival only. We reflected on the importance of a pre-visit study. Notwithstanding this, Satri House is an amazing hotel. The renovation mirrors the original house perfectly. The Satri House team is attentive and caring. Key takeaways: # the staff is incredibly warm and greet you with sincerity # the housekeeping and gardener teams are amazing # the breakfast is plentiful. We recommend the freshly made noodle soup # the restaurant is terrific. We ate in many restaurants during our visit and will review them separately. We found the quality of the food at the Satri House restaurant to be equal to our better dining experiences # we love the two pools. Whilst we agree that the main pool could do with more lounges, we note that there are additional lounges at the second pool # the hotel is not located in the centre of the (small) city of Luang Prabang. It is in fact a 15-20 min walk to the city centre. The hotel does provide complimentary lockable bicycles with baskets that will get you there in 5-8 minutes One suggestion is to resolve the positioning of the Google Maps location pin. I am confident that when return to Satri House outside of the New Year festival, we will rate our experience as excellent."The River Resort: "Asian paradise"
"Exquisitely decorated with comfy beds, spacious bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower Full range of toiletries ,floor to ceiling windows over Mekong Two large pools with excellent restaurant all with great views Eco concious"David’s Kitchen: "Unexpected fine dining in Chiang Mai"
We dined at DK at the recommendation of our Audley Travel agent. He called it, "the best restaurant in Thailand" and we couldn't agree more. Not only is the food plentiful and delicious with beautiful presentation, but the ambiance is elegant and the personalized attention - inclusive of 2 visits from David and his wife - surpasses expectations (even for fine dining). The menu is diverse, primarily french, and the selection of wine by the bottle or glass is extensive and pairs well with the menu options. We regularly dine out in Washington, DC and DK is on par with the finest restaurants in DC.Glenburn Tea Estate: "Wonderful!"
While the last few kilometers of the road to get to Glenburn are the worst road EVER, once you reach this tea plantation, you are pampered and cosseted with the best of service, in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Rooms are large and extremely comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. Your hosts are friendly and engaging. Local shop has great stuff. Food is really good. A shame that lunches (while excellent) are continental fare -- the Indian and Tibetan foods served at dinner and breakfast are far superior. Remarkable service, and a place one wants to return to again, and again, and again!Tugu Malang: "prachtig hotel in koloniale stijl"
"mooie schone luxe kamers aan een vijver. Ontbijt heerlijk en uitgebreid. Theetijd moet je zeker meemaken; koekjes en dawet waren erg lekker. Hotel ligt in het centrum aan een groot plein. Fietstocht met John was een succes vooral het gekleurde dorpje aan de rivier Brantas sungei. Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam Alle ruimtes waren smaakvol ingericht en een aanrader voor iedereen."Hotel Tugu Bali: "Unforgettable experience"
"My partner & I stayed with Tugu for a weekend and had the most unforgettable time. We were greeted by the PR of the hotel who gave us a detailed and wonderful tour of the place. Annisa showed us Tugu's very own museums and temples located at the front of the hotel, which is also opened to the public. The spa at Tugu is a must, we stayed in Bali for 1 month and had numbers of massage and the treatments at the Spa here is by far the most impressive. Perfect sunset watching point at Ji by The Terrance at the hotel which also serves amazing sushi and cocktails. Breakfast & Dinner in the hotel were perfect, a great mix of western and Indonesian food with impeccable services. Our room was perfect for a couple and has a breathtaking view of the lotus pond in the hotel overlooking Echo beach. We had an incredible time and would definitely come back. 10/10 Thank you again for such an incredible stay."
