Ta Khun Mountain View Hotel

Clean room, very spacious, big and clean pool, good service.

The hotel is very dirty. The air conditioner is noisy. Like a tractor. Can't sleep. Don't stay here. Worst hotel experience ever

If you are looking for a quiet place at the end of the world, you are good. If you are not mobile, do not drive!The hotel is not much, and the equipment is as good as the best. But the big pool and the view of the mountains make up for it.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. If you're doing a Khao Sok lake tour the next day, it's just a 5 minute drive from here to the office. The hotel also offers some really nice views over the mountains.The pool is a good feature to have but it's pretty run down and there's very little seating offered around it. It would only take a few touches to rectify this – proper sun loungers for guests and maybe some parasols. The rooms are very basic too and quite run down, but if it's just for one night this will be fine. There is a restaurant on site but the portions are really small and its not cheap. Lastly, the hotel manager really ripped us off on the morning we checked out – he charged us 500 baht for a 5 minute taxi ride. For this reason we won't be coming back

The room is very spacious, the balcony view is very beautiful, as the name suggests, mountain view, sleep comfortably, quiet accommodation, cool air conditioner, has a water heater. The (little) hair dryer takes a bit of time to dry. If you have long, thick hair, I recommend bringing your own dryer.Breakfast is 150 baht per set and look at the picture, it looks very delicious!! There are croissants, cheese fried egg burgers, sausages, salads. There's not enough fruit. Not enough. There's also orange juice and water. It's delicious and full. I think the accommodation is very attentive to its guests. He keeps asking us if we're okay. Did you sleep well? Do you have anything you'd like to suggest? which we like everythingThe room we went for 1,000 baht was a single bed room (can sleep 2 people) and look at the view, it was worth it. One night it was only 500 baht per person 🤩🤩

Spacious rooms, beautiful view, good bedding but very bad night's sleep because the air conditioning is placed right on your head, it is oversized and makes the noise of an airplane. Not to mention the numerous mosquitoes which remain active despite the IC. It's super hot in the parking lot, but the pool is in the shade for a good part of the afternoon. For me, one of the worst nights of 15 days of trip.

10/10 ☀️

To the hotel:The rooms are now getting quite old. The bathroom is moldy in some places and is a bit dirty and calcified. In some places the plaster is coming from the ceiling. The beds are quite hard and there are only wool blankets as bed covers (it is questionable whether these are cleaned). Otherwise it's okay for a short stay. The staff hardly speak any English but they really try hard. Since there is not much going on in the area and eating is difficult, you can eat in the hotel. On Saturday there was no food in the hotel, but something could be ordered and delivered. Breakfast consists of mango, watermelon, a sandwich with sauce, carrot and ham, croissant, fried egg and a burger. Personally, I would have preferred some fruit or a typical Thai breakfast rather than a burger with ketchup.The hotel is really very quiet and beautiful. The view is really great!About the surroundings:It's absolutely nothing. About 2 km away is a 7-11 and a shopping center with KFC. This can be reached via the busy street, mostly without a pedestrian path. It was really quite scary as a European to walk there in the dark, as you were the only tourists for miles around. Otherwise there isn't much. Grab didn't work for us.The way to the national park:We originally wanted to take Grab to Ratchaprapha Dam. However, there was no way to find a driver. So we asked the hotel and a taxi was called for 400 baht, which took us 17 km to the pier. Once there we took a private boat trip for 1700 baht. The way back to the hotel was more difficult. Theoretically you can call the hotel and they will send a driver again for 400 baht. We found a taxi that took us for 300 baht and happened to meet other people from our hotel so it was cheaper.As a tip: Many people in the hotel want to go to the pier for a boat tour. The best thing to do is ask a few people and get together.Way to Phuket:After our stay at the hotel we wanted to continue to Phuket. Since the hotel is quite far away from the tourist area, a minibus cannot be booked directly through 12goAsia. The staff at the hotel gave us a tip that there was a “travel agency” on the right-hand side of the main road towards 7-11 where you could book a minibus ride. This cost 320 baht per person. It's best to book this one day in advance, otherwise you may not get a bus until 5-6 hours later. You will then be picked up at the travel agency at the agreed time (30 minutes late).Overall our stay was quite nice, if you know you only want to do the boat trip and know how to get back and forth the hotel is in a pretty good location. A renovation would do the hotel a lot of good, especially the bathrooms.

The rooms are still in an acceptable condition.The beds are hard, the air conditioning is too big and loud for the rooms.Everything too poorly maintained, but still fine for a few nights.However, the view is just great. You could do more with the hotel.The staff is helpful and nice.We got transport to Lake National Park for 400 baht. We went back in a tuk tuk.Talk to other guests, everyone feels like they don't know how to get where.E.g. book a taxi to the lake together and book a private boat trip together for around €60.On the way there from Koh Phangan the bus driver let us off early.We continued to Pukhet by mini van.It's best to book this early in the shop on the main street.You can find it like this: Get out of the street, turn left on the main street and then about 100m on the other side. There are pictures of buses hanging there.320 baht to Phuket.Grab doesn't really work there.

Very peaceful hotel with nice pool, nice room and friendly staff. Very nice mountain view.
