It had been a while since my last visit to ibis Hua Hin. This trip (check-in: February 1st, check-out: February 2nd, 2025) was a last-minute opportunity to use a travel voucher I'd purchased last year, before it expired on February 28th. The voucher price was a very reasonable 1,200 THB.
Hua Hin was bustling, primarily with European tourists and a contingent of young Korean footballers. Thai visitors were a rare sight. The staff, representing ORIGIN, were exceptionally welcoming, with warm smiles and attentive service.
As a Platinum member, I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a Family Room. ibis Hua Hin seems to have a generous number of these rooms, making upgrades readily available even for standard ibis members.
Late check-out was granted without any hesitation, extending my stay until 3:00 PM, despite the hotel being fully booked.
Welcome drinks were provided, and I opted for two bottles of Singha beer.
Breakfast was included as part of the voucher package (room + breakfast).
My Accor Plus membership provided the usual discounts on food and beverages, up to 50%.
The room was well-maintained, though some signs of wear were noticeable, as expected with the hotel's age. The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, but the hot, warm, and cold water options functioned perfectly.
The breakfast buffet met standard ibis expectations, with a daily Thai dish, rice, stir-fried noodles, salad, bread, and croissants.
In the late afternoon, a short stroll down a side street led directly to the beach. The weather was fantastic, the water clear, and the waves gentle – perfect for swimming.
Happy Hour was a bonus, running from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
For dinner, I ventured out to a nearby Korean BBQ restaurant. Lunch the following day, before departure, was at the hotel, where I again utilized my Accor Plus discount (excluding the already reasonably priced pizza, which had a 10% discount).
Overall, it was a delightful stay. The service was excellent, in true ORIGIN style – attentive and efficient. A truly happy holiday!
