Compared with the three big hotels next door, the Pistol Room Hotel here really lives in a crack, fitting in with the small and beautiful Surin Beach.
Room: I booked a balcony room on the second floor. I asked that it be quiet and not facing the swimming pool. I arranged a room in the northeast corner for check-in. It should be the farthest hotel from the road. Thumbs up. The balcony has its own small garden, which is private and not intrusive. You can also borrow hangers to hang out your clothes. Outside is the emergency exit and open space of the hotel next door. It is quite quiet except for the chirping of birds in the morning. The room is clean and simple, without the moldy and damp issues common in island hotels. There is a beautiful chandelier with Southeast Asian characteristics on the bedside table that makes you accidentally bump your head when you turn on the air conditioner switch. The bathroom that can be divided into three parts unfortunately does not have dry and wet separation. The only design highlight is the unsightly but very practical toilet that is suspended in the air and not attached to the wall. There are no sanitary blind spots in 360 degrees. Because it was so quiet, there was a low buzz of power on in the equipment room downstairs around 8 a.m.
Packages: The staff are friendly and willing to help you solve your problems. There are almost no Chinese guests staying in the hotel, so communication relies on English. If you go to the beach, you can ask the front desk to borrow a beach bag to put your towels in. The two swimming pools are not big, and the gym is relatively small, and only 5 people can squeeze in.
Restaurant: The breakfast is rich and has everything you need. 6 kinds of eggs, fruits and juices will be changed the next day. The in-house restaurant is also open to the public, offering Western food + high-end Thai food. There are usually many people from outside the store coming to eat. I tried afternoon tea once. The chicken satay was pretty good. It was not skewers and the meat was not grilled. The mango sticky rice was unique in presentation, but the sticky rice was so sweet that it sent people away.
Surroundings: The hotel is in a good location. Go out and walk west for 2 minutes to reach Surin Beach. Walk south along the beach and you will find an affordable and delicious food stall at the end. You can eat while watching the sunset on the beach. There are Indian noodle restaurants, high-end burger restaurants and bay inn’s Western and Thai simple meals within a 5-minute walk to the south. I recommend the bay inn, which is delicious and not expensive. If you walk east on the branch road for 5 minutes, you will reach 711. There are also other restaurants uphill. You can't reach Kamala Beach if you take the branch road to the south. You have to ask Didi to open it for about 15 minutes. Go north and walk to the laundry shop by the pound next to Chava. Then go over a hill and cross a small stone bridge to reach Ban Tao Beach. If you are lucky, you can see fireworks.
Summary: Recommended! Those of you who have the budget or the price you want can go for it!
