The hotel is cheap

The hotel is too small, and air conditioner is too noisy, we did not have a good sleep

I chose this hotel because it is cheap, and pictures of room on the website is not so small. However, we were disappointed when we step into the room, it is too small. The worst thing is too noisy from air-conditioner, and we hardly could not sleep although we were so tired when we arrived hotel at 3:00 am.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : It is near to Grand Palace, only take 10 minutes by walk, and to bus station to airport 5 minutes by walk

Just pay a bit more. Guest Rating: 5.3

Cheap, staff very friendly

Basic, it's on Khao San Road

Just don't bother - this is great for what it is. A cheap hotel for backpackers who don't want to pay another $5 a night. Leave it. Just pay the money and have a better stay. Yes, it's cheap, but for the extra money you can have so much more. Plus, Khao San Road is totally overrated. There's the most amount of white people in all of Thailand, which actually isn't that great. You lose the Thai sense of being friendly, and attracts peddlers and scam artists. The staff were very friendly and accomodating however. I have no complaints as such, other than with myself: I should have stopped being cheap and just paid for a bit more and got a double bed and a nice big bathroom. As it stands, this was your average youth hostel room. Adequate, but not nice. Breakfast nicer than buffet nonsense though.

Nightlife Tip : Just stay away from Khao San, it's a tourist magnet. Go stay with the Thai's; they're better company.

Staff were great. My wee shoebox room had a comfortable bed, clean sheets, a hot shower and air con. I was quite happy with my 2 nights there.

With a more professional and well-trained employees, this hotel will be a better best-value hotel.

Travel tip : When taking a tuk-tuk, be sure you find the kind drivers, because some of them are very impolite and get mad when you bargain for the prize.

Rooms are very basic and 'cosy'. Okay for just a few nights but not much more. Beware of annoying taxi drivers outside

値段

部屋

値段を考えればぎりぎり我慢できるレベルです。とにかくシャワーを浴びて寝るだけなら大丈夫です。鍵もかかるしトイレも流れるし朝ごはんも付いてました。しかし写真うつりは良すぎかなー。

there is alot of tourist information centres near this place they even have there own there,make sure you buy a padlock for your door as security is not a big thing in this hotel..

Travel tip : the laundry is cheap & fast you get it back the same day if you give it to them in the morning.they have internet access there which is good,there are a lot of bars near there.the walls are thin in this hotel you can here the people next to you!!there are alot of taxi's out the fron of this hotel & they speak english a little,tuk tuk drivers will always try to rip you off remember this always try to reduce your price..

Advantage to stay at this hotel is that outside this hotel has a lot of foreign backpackers and other budgeted hotels. Some of other hotel's food is good. However, it is quite near the Grand Palace and Floating Market.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : You can take the tuk tuk by 5~10 minutes and arrive at Grand Palace and Wat Pho, museum, and harbour to Floating Market.
