Anika Boutique Hotel

Guests who stayed here loved

“We made our reservation with Anika Hotel though booking.com and stayed there from January 25-28, 2020. Its location is excellent as it is near the Chang Puak (Elephant) Gate on the northern wall of the old city. Across the moat from the hotel is the Chang Puak night market with its delicious food stalls of khan soi, pickled pork leg, and duck. The hotel is relatively new and it is still in the process of getting its service fully settled. Our room was booked for 3 persons, 2 adults and a teen-age child, yet the room we received (although spacious) did not have an extra bed. They had an Asian wooden sofa with a thin mattress that had the length of a love seat, and described as a "sofa bed". Our teenager was expected to sleep in this "sofa bed" and when we requested for an extra bed for her, we were told none were available. They did bring another thin mattress and beddings for her which we then arranged on the floor for her to sleep during our 3-night stay. The other glitches were minor. For example, they still need to learn to anticipate customer needs when the room has more than 2 occupants, i.e., had to repeatedly ask for extra towels, extra amenities, and extra toilet paper during our stay. Their wifi is weak particularly when the hotel is full. The hot water is more warm than hot. That being said, we still recommend Anika highly to others for the following reasons. The front desk provided excellent service. Rattawan was specially helpful, efficient, graceful and went out of her way to address our needs and questions. Our room was spacious, very clean, and has a separate tub and shower. It was so clean that we actually enjoyed a soak in the tub several times during our stay. The breakfast room on the ground level is open-air and very refreshing in the morning. The Thai breakfast buffet was delicious and they have an espresso/cappuccino machine for guests! It is an easy walk to the center of the old city where we enjoyed the Sunday Night walking market. There is a massage spa three doors away that is both reasonable and good. As the management of the hotel learns to fine-tune its hospitality service, Anika Hotel will be one to watch!”
