Anantara in Khlong Bang Ping from NZ$306

"I stayed at 5 different hotels and resorts in my first solo travel to Thailand.. 2 in Bangkok, 1 in Chiang Mai, and 2 in Ko Samui. I would only give one of these stays 5 stars and it is the Carlton. Not because it was anything extravagant or spectacular.. but because it consistently excelled in all areas I would consider worthy to give it 5 stars. Consistency is most important to me in awarding 5 stars while other properties may be more spectacle in 1-2 (Dusit Thani) areas but fall short in others. Location - good to everything but tucked away enough to feel like you got away from the overwhelming chaos Staff - very friendly Gym - smallish but one of the best out of the trip Pool - solid with attentive staff Rooftop - nice with a cozy feeling and good view Room - comfortable and quiet. The quietest out of all the hotels I stayed at but I had a room that was tucked away at the end of hallway."

"Excellent breakfast with a lot of variety "

"Staff was amazing. Be ready because it is in the red light district."

"YES EVERYTHING WAS GREAT… I RECOMMEND THIS STAY FOR EVERYBODY. BREAKFAST YOU GET A GREAT SELECTION."

"Perfect location, amazing pool, solid gym. Main issues were the rooms aren’t blackout as the blinds don’t go all the way down and no face towels as standard and have to be requested. "

"Always perfect"

"Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Quiet, spacious room with very comfortable bed. Amazing breakfast!"

"The hotel looks nice from the outside and lobby area but the evelators and room need a facelift. The hotel definiitely has potentials. The breakfast was good."

"Close to the malls and polite staffs"
