Hua Hin Condotel & Resort by Taweeporn — condotel with in-room kitchens in a quiet area built for long stays in Hua Hin
Picture this: you wake up in a room that's bigger than your average hotel room, with a little kitchen to make your own coffee and fry an egg before heading out, then in the afternoon you slip into the outdoor pool of a quiet resort that never feels crowded — Hua Hin Condotel & Resort by Taweeporn is a 3-star condotel and resort on Soi Chonlaprathan 12 in a quiet part of Hua Hin, about 5 minutes' drive from the town centre · What reviewers keep mentioning is the condo-style rooms with an in-room kitchen and cooking equipment, plus a pool, gym and sauna, all in a calm setting rather than a hotel in the middle of the buzz · It's not a luxury beachfront resort, but it's a good-value base for people driving themselves who want to stay several nights · From about THB 1,500/night · Scores 8.2 on Trip.com and a Travelers' Choice award from Tripadvisor
Who Taweeporn is for, in a nutshell — the shortest summary is this: Hua Hin Condotel & Resort by Taweeporn is for people who want "a small home" more than a standard hotel room · This isn't a luxury beachfront resort selling sea views and pricey spa treatments; it's a 3-star condotel and resort whose selling point is condo-style rooms with an in-room kitchen and cooking equipment · The building was finished around late 2010 as a condominium, with some units opened up for nightly resort rental, so the rooms are larger than a hotel's and have genuinely livable space · It's still open today and listed on several platforms including Trip.com, Booking.com, Agoda, Traveloka and Tripadvisor · Real reviews suggest the people who fit best here are travellers driving themselves, people planning a long stay of several nights, families who want to cook for themselves sometimes, and anyone who values peace and quiet over being in the middle of the entertainment district · On the flip side, if you come to Hua Hin to stroll along the beach every morning, want restaurants and night markets the moment you step out, or don't have your own vehicle, this location may not be your first pick · Put another way, Taweeporn plays on "good value and private" more than "walk to everything," which is a different brief from a boutique hotel in the town centre · People who understand this from the start, before booking, usually come back saying they got a stay that was better value and more comfortable than they expected
Location and getting around — the property sits on Soi Chonlaprathan 12, Hua Hin subdistrict, set a little back from the main road, so it's quieter and safer than the zones right on Phetkasem Road or the night-market area · Rough distances from platform data: about 4.4 km from Hua Hin Airport and about 5 km from Hua Hin railway station, while Hua Hin beach and the town centre are around 5 minutes' drive away · To be straight about it, Tripadvisor rates this area's walkability at around 44 out of 100, with a note recommending a car · That means it suits people who drive themselves or are happy to call a Grab/taxi more than those who plan to explore on foot · The good news is the property has free parking, so drivers can relax, and the drive into town or to the beach doesn't take long · Nearby spots reviewers mention include Plearnwan, a retro market about a 25-minute walk or a few minutes' drive away, and the art space For Art's Sake about 1.2 km away · Overall this location is "quiet but not too far" — you get the calm while still being a quick drive into town
"Big room, full kitchen, went down for a swim in the afternoon and it was so quiet — not crowded like a hotel in town. But you do need a car, otherwise getting around is a bit of a hassle."
Room types and decor — because the building is a condominium with units opened up for nightly rental, Taweeporn's rooms are suites larger than a typical hotel room, with an in-room kitchen · Platform data shows several room types, including Deluxe Room, Suite and Family rooms, with the number of rooms available for booking at any given time fairly limited (this is a small property, not a hundred-room hotel) · The draw that makes people choose it is the kitchen corner with basic cooking equipment, a fridge and a sitting area, which makes it good for long stays and cooking your own meals now and then · The decor is a simple residential condo style, practical rather than flashy in design, with comfortable, lived-in furniture · Some older reviews describe the suites as having "everything you need with almost nothing to complain about" for a stay of several days · An honest note: the building has been open since 2010, so some rooms and furnishings may look dated with age, and quality may not be consistent across every room because the units belong to different owners · If newness and a spotless room matter to you, ask to see photos of the actual room or check with the manager before confirming · But in terms of space and livability, the rooms here give you more space per baht than many small hotels in town
Facilities, pool and gym — for a property at this price, Taweeporn has more facilities than you'd expect · The highlight is the outdoor pool, which many reviews praise as a good size with a quiet atmosphere — go for a dip in the afternoon or evening and you're not fighting big tour groups for space · Beyond the pool there's a gym, sauna and billiard table for people who want to work out or find something to do at the property · There's also a garden and green space to sit in, a lift, massage service and a small meeting room · For basics there's Wi-Fi, free parking, a front desk with security, and a taxi-call service, which helps a lot since the location relies on having a vehicle · To be honest, these facilities are the "there and genuinely usable" kind, not a five-star resort level of luxurious finish — the pool isn't an infinity pool with a sea view and the gym isn't a fully-equipped one with every machine, but for people on a long stay who want a space to relax at the property, it's plenty and good for the price
Food and dining — what sets Taweeporn apart from a regular hotel is the in-room kitchen, which lets you cook for yourself instead of finding a restaurant for every meal — this matters a lot for families with small children, people watching what they eat, or anyone on a long stay who wants to save on food costs · The property has a dining area/front desk with service, but according to platform data breakfast isn't included in every package, so check the conditions when you book · For meals out, because the location is in a quiet area you may need to drive or call a car to reach restaurants and markets in Hua Hin town, which only takes a few minutes · Near the property is Plearnwan, a retro market with food and photogenic atmosphere, and once you're in town there's Chatchai Market, the Hua Hin night market, seafront seafood restaurants and plenty of cafes · The tip is to use the in-room kitchen for breakfast and simple meals, then save the special meals for going out to eat in town, so you save money and still get to taste the good food in Hua Hin · This is the style of stay that fits a condotel like this best
Service — service is a point that earns a fair amount of praise in real reviews, especially the friendliness of the staff and managers · Many say the team is helpful, calls taxis for you, gives recommendations on places to visit and restaurants in town, and keeps the stay running smoothly · Because it's a small property, the service feels personable like a family resort rather than the formality of a chain hotel · The 24-hour security and front desk also help you feel at ease, especially if you drive yourself and park overnight · To be straight, because the rooms belong to different owners, the standard of care and responsiveness can vary a bit depending on the time and which manager is on that day, but overall it's a point with no major issues and often draws praise for its friendliness
What real reviews say (the good and the bad) — pulling together Trip.com, Tripadvisor and other platform data, the picture is fairly consistent · On the praise side: large suites with full kitchens that are great for long stays, a quiet pool with a nice atmosphere, a quiet and safe location away from the chaos, friendly and helpful staff, free parking that's convenient for people driving themselves, and clean, well-kept suites · The property scores 8.2 out of 10 on Trip.com (sub-scores for cleanliness/facilities/location/service all sit around 8.2, close across the board) and has a Travelers' Choice award from Tripadvisor · On the concerns side: the most-mentioned point is that the location relies on a vehicle — it's outside the town centre, and walking to the beach or restaurants isn't convenient, with a walkability score around 44/100 · Next is that the building and some furnishings are starting to show their age, having been open since 2010, and room standards may not be consistent because the units belong to different owners · These criticisms can be solved by arranging a vehicle or planning your travel, and by choosing/checking the room before booking, rather than being problems that put people off coming back
"Great value for a long stay in this room, could cook our own meals, the pool is quiet and good for taking the kids in, lovely staff. The only downside is it's a bit of a hassle without a car — next time I'll rent a motorbike too."
Price and value comparison — Taweeporn's prices sit in the affordable bracket, with reported starting rates from around $16–36 per night (about THB 600–1,300) during promotions or off-season, rising to around THB 1,500 and up for larger suites or during high season and long weekends · Compared with hotels in central Hua Hin at similar prices but with small rooms and no kitchen, this place gives you room space and livability that's very good value in the budget bracket, especially if you stay several nights and split the room cost per person, or use the kitchen to save on some meals · The value is clearest when you have a car, stay a while, and come as a group or whole family, because you get the space, the pool and free parking all for one price · On the other hand, if you come for just one or two nights without a car, the cost of multiple trips in and out of town may chip away at the value, making a hotel in town within walking distance of everything possibly a better fit · In short, how good a deal this place is depends directly on your trip style
Good to know before you book — a few things will make your stay go more smoothly · One, sort out your transport — if you're not driving yourself, plan to rent a car/motorbike, or accept the cost of calling a car in and out of town, since the location is outside the centre · Two, because the rooms are units owned by different people and the building has been open since 2010, you should ask to see photos of the actual room or check the room's condition and kitchen equipment before confirming, so it matches expectations · Three, check whether the package you book includes breakfast and what equipment the kitchen has if you plan to cook · Four, if you're planning a long stay, compare weekly rates or ask the manager directly about long-stay discounts — you may get a better price than nightly booking · Five, choose free cancellation up front if your plans aren't firm, since prices for places like this often change with the season and the person renting out the room · Six, if you're coming as a group, specify the number of guests clearly, because some suites hold more people than the website shows
Bottom line — from all the real reviews, Hua Hin Condotel & Resort by Taweeporn is the best fit for people who drive themselves, plan a long stay, and want a home-like room with a kitchen at an affordable price, along with peace and quiet and a private-feeling pool · Large suites with kitchens, a quiet and safe location, free parking and more facilities than the price suggests make it good value among Hua Hin's budget options, especially when you come as a group or whole family · But if you don't have a car, want to walk to the beach and restaurants the moment you step out, or need brand-new rooms to the same standard across the board like a chain hotel, this may not be the answer, and you should consider a hotel or boutique in central Hua Hin instead · For a family trip or a long stay where space, privacy and value are the priorities — Taweeporn meets those needs well on an attainable budget, and that's why it keeps earning good review scores
