The Centrino is an excellent hotel in most respects: clean, bright, rooms with most of the amenities that one would expect in a good 3-star hotel. The only problem is distance from downtown. (Go out to the main and flag down a tuk-tuk. Pay about 30-40 baht to the center of town.) Staff, like staff at most Thai 3-star hotels, would rather not have to deal with guests in Englis, and don't offer help. If asked, they will try to comply, but there is only so much they can do. Even with these minor problems I would happily book there again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Centrino to friends.
