Great location and well spread out property. Service was excellent and staff really helpful. It had all the modern amenities along with an old-world charm. The rooms are well maintained At some places there is a slight step - just an unevenness on the floor. These should be evened out so one does not trip. I had a bad fall just as I was walikng in one of the corridors The Sofitel Centara experience is one of a kind. From the moment you arrive the staff are all out to making you comfortable and relaxed. You are invited to relax even before filling in the form. They inform you of room choices available and are happy to show you different types of rooms before you finalise ( eg for the view, or twin/king bed choice etc.) Through out the hotel service is with a smile!
Hotel Feature Tip : The beach is clean and well maintained.

I search and read the reviews on many web sites. My final decision is to book the hotel with Agoda for my trip in Hua Hin. This is my firt time in Hua Hin but many times in ThaiLand. The hotel is the best hotel Hua Hin compare with other 5 star hotel such as Hyatt, Hilton...The room and staff are wonderful. The private beach plus excellent services has made a great different for the trip. Other hotel will have many soicitors...I would recommend other and will visit again next year. This web site has the best deal for this 5 star hotel compare with other 3-4 times higher than waht I paid for....all rooms are private and have balcony... the only small thing such as safe doposit box is not working porperly 3 times..and could not get your valuble out as when you need them because it needed 1 hour to reset the box before the manager can open the box again. Hair dryer is not working properly, on and off...other wise it is a great hotel. I search and read the reviews on many web sites.

No words can express the sheer beauty of this incredible hotel For the price one pays, one should be able to have free wifi in one's room. This is like being on the film set of a novel by Somerset Maugham or Joseph Conrad. Just wonderful sense of space...and architectural "rightness". The topiary alone is brilliant. Loads of pools to dive into, constant supply of towels and drinks. (The usual Germanic/English obsession with reserving a lounge chair with a towel....not supposed to reserve a chair beyond two hours...no idea if this rule was observed...plenty of chairs anyway. Right on the beach, though Hua Hin beach is spoilt by all the hawkers and the extremely ugly high rise of the Hilton Hotel, surely one of the most vomitous buildings in all of Hua Hin.
Even so, I would return to this place many times. This is the kind of graciousness you rarely come across these days.

Service.
Traditional architecture.
Gardens.
Pools and Sports facilities. The internet involves you buying cards that don't always work. Great public areas ... lobby traditional with fantastic wooden staircase , rooms a bit small but with excellent veranda for relaxing and reading ...
Garden are great , beautiful flowers ...
Afternoon tea is a must !
Hua hin itself is small but big enough to have lots of great restaurants ... food is really fantastic .

beautiful hotel.Situated on the beach and yet at the end of the shopping street of Huahin.
This hotel offers quality and luxe. The Sofitel Huahin has the grandeur of the "fin du siecle". Every minute you think yourself as in a great film. Beautiful entourage, superb gardens and elegant decoration makes this hotel one of the most original and beautiful ones of Thailand.Excellent food and services .
Travel tip : A lot of opportunity to shop and have dinner in the many shops and restaurants of Huahin.

Great facility. Beautiful garden. Nicely decorated and comfortable rooms, well trained and courteous staff. on the expensive side. relatively small rooms. beautiful colonial style hotel conveniently located in down town Hua Hin, yet secluded. If you look for quiet place from times gone by the Sofitel Centara is your place

Pools, Breakfast, Service, magnificent gardens. Our five days at the sofitel were the highlight of our three week holiday. The service is outstanding and the gardens superb.The breakfast included would be the best I have come across in a resort. The only disappointment was that on arrival we were told our room wouldn't be ready until after 9pm as they had given late checkout to the people before.

Beautiful hotel. Good location. Staff speaks not very good English. There were Dengue mosquitos in the garden. I had a good time in the Sofitel. It has a big garden with several swimming pools. The location is good; you just walk into Hua Hin village to visit the shops and restaurants. No need for transfer. The rooms are good and quite luxurious. The breakfast is good. The staff is very friendly, but do not speak English very well.

lack of restaurants in the area We have stayed at the Indra Regent a few times and I always reccomend it to friends who are goint to Bangkok for the first time, it is in a good location for shopping for both clothes and computer accesories at the Pantiph centre through the back of the Bayoke. The only thing we didn't think was good last time was the lack of staff at the reception desk and the long queue to get booked in. They had also changed the restaurant to a large one with the buffet breakfast, there was plenty to choose from and plenty of seats, though it was like a large canteen.
Shopping Tip : We walk a lot and that is the best way to find out more areas, also you have to bargain for anything you want to buy - go down to half and come up to a third off. There are a lot of stalls with the same things, so you will always get what you want for however much you want to pay for it.

I love this hotel. The rooms, pools, gardens and restaurants are all top notch. The Museum cafe buffet should be offered everyday, not just on weekends! From the colonial architecture to the topiary, beach front location and wonderful food, this is the place I love to return to for a relaxing stay.
The different elements of the resort combine into a perfect place to stay. The location close to all that Hua Hin has to offer is a bonus!
Restaurant Tip : Don't miss the afternoon tea buffet in the Museum cafe. Its pure indulgence in a marvellous setting.

I like the place, its activities and its view. Large and beautiful area is nice for taking photo. Room is really small. Service is not very good especially to Thai people. I like the area and location, close to the town and it's close to the beach.Very comfortable.
The service is not very good. Hotel staff do not talk politely to a Thai. I asked at least 4 times for a cup of coffee for my breakfast, nobody cares and do not want to service at all.
The room is really small and I'm not sure that it's DELUXE!

Close to the center of the city.
We could not find any cons. I think this is one of the best hotels we've ever been.
It has the great advantage of being very close (200m) to the center of Hua Hin. The staff was very friendly and it has got every thing we needed. Food in the several restaurants was great.

very exclusive villa resort. great service. very private the club lounge is located to far from the villas. The part of the hotel is very different from the original sofitel hotel. Where that is built in the kolonial style with dark wood panelling these villas are white and very airy. You get club benefits when you have a pool villa but the club lounge is situated rather a long way away, but teh hotel is great. Not the last time we have spent our holiday at that hotel
