Centara Hotels in Ayutthaya

Arrival on the busy Children Day Weekend, we choose Centara Ayutthaya as it is closest to the Temple that we plan to attend one of their major ceremony in January. Our group choose Centara Ayutthaya as it just newly open less than a month from our arrival date. The hotel located adjunct to the Central Ayutthaya Shopping Complex's largest shopping complex in Ayutthaya. Also across from the Town Hall and Provincial Center, less than a mile from the main National Highway (also across from the Industrial Park and Complex). So, the location for business is excellent. However, the new business area that this hotel located is relatively far from the World Heritage Ancient City of Ayutthaya. So, you need a good transport to travel from the hotel to the old city. Upon arrival, this hotel has excellent reception and bell staffs. We arrived around 12.00 and the room expected to be ready by 15.00. The staff has been very nice to us. Helping us to unload all bags and get them to the storage rooms. We indicated that we booked the room via Centara Website and we want to book the rooftop restaurant for our dinner. The hotel staffs also provided the welcome drink ticket at the rooftop restaurant by dinner time, and also provide THB500 credit to be use at the Kin Restaurant (by the ground floor). The Room: We booked for Deluxe Room and first they allocated 5th Floor for me. I asked them to move me to higher floor and getting Floor 11. This is very nice service mind from the hotel staffs, as I found out later that the hotel is relatively packed on that day. The room consisted of 2 wings the Highway view and the City View. For me, I've got the Highway view. But it is not necessary to be the bad thing. The room came with Full Panoramic Glass Window with built-in Sofa-Bed that I can lie down and see the full view from my room. The room view allowed me to see the shopping complex, town hall and the high way. Also, the high floor allowed me to see the Industrial Park and City across from the other side of the high way. So, it has excellent view. The room decoration is typical Centara style that separated Toilet and Bathroom from one another. Also, the washing sink is located above refrigerator inside the room. So, it has a very strange set up from many hotels. But if you are Centara regular, it is relatively normal for them. We've got King size bed for our room, the bed is good and new and the pillows are fluffy. Nice and cold air conditioning breeze and the lighting in the room is excellent. But there is no mini bar in this hotel. You can get all needed things from the supermarket within the hotel complex (above the carpark). Service and Facilities Excellent services from all staffs. Nice receptions, excellent bell services, polite and nice waitresses at every restaurant. Excellent facilities, infinity swimming pool on 20th Floor, Nice Fitness on 19th Floor, 2 restaurants and 1 coffee shop. Carpark Similar to most Centara Hotels those adjunct to the Central Shop
