Location was great and staff were so lovely. The hotel was basic but well worth the money. Only downside was the pool was very small and didnt look like the photos but wasn’t a problem.

Recent stay

There was no kettle in the room, and I wa a bit confused with regards to where I could get a coffee or not. The chair in the room was very flimsy and bendy, making it difficult to sit on, otherwise all good.

The street noise was very bad, with a rooster crowing and dogs fighting all night long from across the street, with minimal sound-proofing. That, and the swimming pool is really a bathtub with pretensions. Other than that, clean enough and close to transportation. Staff was nice and friendly.

Bra läge

Ok budget hotel med bra pris och med gångavstånd till bla MBK Gallerian. Ligger på en bakgata med väldigt lite trafik, vilket var positivt. Rent och helt ok rum, vi hade rum med balkong. Frukosten var så där. Den stora nackdelen är att det saknas ljudisolering i rummen. Så du kan höra allt som händer i korridorerna nätterna igenom. Vi hade rum mot innergården så vi hörde ingen trafik. Hotellet borde införa tydligare regler kring gästernas beteende under vissa delar av dygnet. Det skriks och pratas nätterna igenom när gästerna kommer tillbaks till hotellet. Ingen hänsyn tas till andra gäster. Men detta kanske hör ihop att det är ett billigare hotell. Men lite isolering hade gjort susen. Fråga inte hotellet om restaurang-rekommendationer. Den som vi fick var helt värdelös, och det är pinsamt att hotellet ens kunde rekommendera det.

Overall, this was not a 4 star hotel. We stayed 3 nights and had no hot water in our room, even after complaining twice. We also booked this hotel because we were able to take advantage if the free tuk tuk service to the train station. However, when we arrived, the hotel said the tuk tuk was ‘broken’. We would have chosen a completely different hotel had we known this. Very disappointed. Staff was really friendly though and the rooms were fairly clean. The hot water and false advertisement was really unacceptable though.

We were disappointed with the area and the swimming pool.
We were stopping over fter a long flight and before another long one and couldn't relax by the pool.
Had a bit of trouble at first, getting there.
The taxi's didn't know where it was.
We felt it didn't match the description that made us book.

Great spot. Nice room!

This hotel is great. It is definitely one of the newer hotels in the area, so a little pricier, but completely worth it for the condition of rooms and buildling overall. The AC works great, the balcony is quite nice, and even comes with a built-in laundry drying rack. It's also in a terrific neighborhood, just a short walk from the BTS Skytrain. There are a ton of food options nearby, and it is also within walkable distance of most of the major shopping centres. Bonus- perhaps the most comfortable hotel bed I have EVER slept on.
The pool is quite small and basically right in the middle of the open-air lobby/drop-off area, so there's no privacy or space for actual swimming... but perfectly fine for a quick dip to cool down.
Overall, a great spot!

Stayed here for a week with 8 members of my family. Good value for the money. Clean place, friendly staff. a bit of a walk to the BTS, but not terrible. They have a tuk tuk but it was pretty worthless. It only dispatches to the MBK center and doesn't run at all on Sunday or Monday. the driver was apparently unavailable the other times we asked to use it. Never managed to get to use it. The other criticism is that the split unit aircon has the hot side right on the balcony blowing very hot air right on the chairs and table. So you can't cool the room and enjoy the balcony at the same time. But these are minor issues. Breakfast was good. You can ask for eggs (omelettes, scrambled, over easy etc.). I didn't realize that for the first half of the week and the buffet turned out to be plenty even without it. One has to love Pad Thai for breakfast.

La piscine est vraiment beaucoup mise en valeur sur les photos. Elle est très petite et ne donne pas très envie d y aller (juste à côté du parking) donc il ne faut pas choisir cet hôtel pour la piscine, c était mon cas et je ne m ai pas utilisé ( je n ai vu personne l utiliser d ailleurs)

Wouldn't stay again

Did not like Bangkok and would not go again. It was not a nice area around the hotel and quite a few scams going on. The hotel was ok but could not smoke on your balcony. The smoking area was full of mosquitos, so we got bit loads. No tea or coffee facilities in your room, had to go to food area if you wanted a brew.

Didnt expect the superb service despite this price. Very friendly frontline staff. Free tuktuk to nearest bts and mbk. Early check in. Pretty quiet at night. Our aircon remote was down at 2am and they sent a engineer in 2mins. Only downside is the walk back to hotel from the bts station but the rest would cover this. :) Definitely would come back again and hope the service is still consistent.

The check-in staff (male) is very helpful & friendly, allows us to check in early at 12:00 on the 1st day.

We stayed at level 2, the toilet floor is not even, whenever we turn on water, there will be a stagnant water in toilet which will not dry up by itself. And there's a not pleasant smell when we enter the room on day 1

However, for the price, the room is clean and has enough space for all my luggage and I can sleep well at night.

I like the neighborhood as it's not the typical tourist area. But I walked from hotel to Siam center was only about 15min. Nearby hotel there are a lot of local eatery and hawkers and plenty of convenient stores. Front desk Staffs are very friendly and helpful and able to communicate in English. One thing not so good is that they have a mini pool... Almost like a jacuzzi kakakakkaa

Clean and new hotel

A new and clean hotel with friendly staffs that can speak good English. It's around 6 minutes walking distance to Ratchathewi station which makes it relatively convenient to explore Bangkok.
A little downside is that the soundproofing. Eg. if people talks loudly at the corridor,we can hear it quite clearly in the room.
Otherwise, our stay was a pleasant one and we really enjoyed it. The hotel lobby is nicely decorated too.
