V Wish Hotel 

I stayed at Vwish hotel ( pronounce vivit if you want to be understood ) for 3 nights and it was an excellent stay for a price that I regard as very affordable -1,400 baht for two-.The room was spacious and really comfortable with a nice couch as well so you can sit and read at your leisure.The beds were perfect, comfortable and the bathroom had a rain forest shower that was just great. The pamphlet says that its a fusion of colonial and art deco styles and it is very pleasant indeed. I used to come when the hotel was called Kaen Inn hotel and it certainly has been revamped in a superb way. Breakfast was outstanding the first 2 mornings, I guess because there was a teachers; convention. A buffet with as many Thai dishes as you can dream of- all kinds of fried rice with vegetables, pat kappao, omelettes and fish soup- A treat and only the last morning I realized that obviously it had been exceptional because of the convention. Still what turned out to be a "regular" breakfast was excellent all the same.The Khao Tom Kai was superb. The staff were fantastic right from the first day ( although I wished the welcome drink would have better that a guava or an orange juice ) and their English is perfect. They were great in giving me information about how to go to the main street that leads to the inevitable Central Plaza as well as the market- extremely pleasant- which is 10 minutes away from the hotel, definitely well located downtown. Just on the corner of the street is lots of restaurants, very convenient in the evening and one in particular, packed every morning by locals before going to work. The laundry service was very efficient. I got my my things back on the same day I do come to KKaen 2 or 3 times a year and I will come back to Vwish for sure.
