These days it's so difficult for a hotel to distinguish itself, and the Maitria Rama 9 did so commendably. I'm usually skeptical of glowing review aggregates on these big sites but book this one with confidence. The rate was arrestingly reasonable, the staff are terrific, the minibar is free (lovely touch, even if it's not hugely well-stocked), the shower nozzle was lavish without being overpowering, the buffet breakfast was lovely and I slept like the dead. My one minor quibble is that the climate-control interface was impossible to understand and use: Everything I did seemed to raise the temperature and lower the fan instead of the other way around. Might be an idea to either include some directions or, better yet, rip those things out of the wall and replace them with something from 1995 because that's when anything still made sense.
