Hotel's Favourite
Probably our best hotel experience so far! Love the pool, room, service. Our 16-month-old really had fun at the pool and beach! He also enjoyed the bed very much too (snored soundly in his sleep lol) Even for adults like us, the pool is just amazingggg The staffs are really commendable. I think what stood out for me is that they always follow up with us, and not just leave us hanging with our questions. Their Safe + Sound policy is really good 👍🏼 We also enjoy most of the food choices offered by HRH. Happy to stay in hotel all the time without have to go out hunting for food. If we were too nick pick, the chicken nachos was a bit underwhelming, hub said that he had nicer one in HR cafe Bangkok. Breakfast buffet was great too, other than a yellow (old) vege in chicken noodle soup, cant complain much. It was busy yet very systematic, we were very impressed.

Thanks for the smashing review, gq987! It's always a joy for us to hear of how well your stay went and we're proud that we were able to give you one of your best hotel experiences thus far. Your feedback on the nachos is noted and will be shared with the Hard Rock Cafe Kitchen team to improve on. All food served in the Cafe follows strict specs set by Hard Rock International so the Manager will be making the necessary checks to ensure the standards are being adhered to. As for the yellow vegetable in the chicken noodle soup, I can assure you that this was just the type of cabbage used :) Thanks again for taking the time to drop us this review and we look forward to hosting you again, hopefully real soon! Rock On!, Michael Smeeton Executive Assistant Manager

The property is great, just that a bit too commercial...could be better with a more welcoming attitude towards the customers. I had booked family vacation for my birthday, but there was absolutely no effort made by the hotel to make it any special and rather they kept asking to pay additional for everything that we requested. It was an off season dates due to the start of Ramadan, and still the hotel could not upgrade our room upon prior request and rather we were purposefully asked to wait even beyond the checkin time when we had requested for an early checkin. My son enjoyed a lot! apart from the hospitality and commercial attitude, this is a wonderful kid friendly property.
