Location, large pool, excellent breakfast buffet. Room at the front can be a little noisy at night. The best point of this hotel is its excellent location, right in the middle of Banglangpoo, next to Kaoshan Road. It is probably the best tourist class hotel in this neighbourhood offering an excellent breakfast buffet and a larger than average pool. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. If you want something more than a backpackers place and you want to say near Kaoshan, this is the place to look for.

I would have liked to have TV5 (french channel) on the TV. When you want to stay in Khaosan area, and dont want to be bothered by noise and music, this is the perfect hotel. Clean, TV with BBC World, free drinking water and mini bar in the room, very good brekfast buffet !This is my second time in the hotel, and I will definitively return. Very recommanded.
Restaurant Tip : Lots of good place to eat !

Close to Chabad centre
Close to backpacker area
Cheap Not clean
Service not very friendly
Rooms need refurbishing We arrived expecting at least a 3 star hotel but instead it turned out more like a 1 star. The hotel was room was not clean, the room was in bad condition and was desperately in need of refurbishment. The hotel is close to the backpacker area which is great for students but not for a family. Recommended for those wanting cheap room and who are not too fussy.

Close to main attractions Khao San Rd, Grand Palace etc. Friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay here at the Viengtai Hotel in Bangkok. Within the hotel there is a very good tourist information office where the staff offered us informative and impartial advice regarding the tourist sites we should visit. Our room was clean and tidy and maintained throughout our stay. The nightlife surrounding the hotel is vibrant with many bars and restaurants however this did not impact upon the quality of our sleep despite its close proximity to Khao San Rd.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Don't listen to naughty tuk tuk drivers and their friends! They'll try and con you by telling you that attractions are closed at particular times. Take the advice of the tourist guide in the hotel.

Really good position for foreigner because it's on the road to start Khaosan rd and good breakfast. The utility is noot good. When I stay there, the door is out of order and then if I call the guest calling, nobody answer. When I arrived here, I was so surprised because it's really near with Khaosan rd., so I could enjoy there, but the hotel is not popular in Bangkok, so if somebody ride on taxi such as toktok, they don't know it such as the position. The booking money is normal and the breakfast is really good, but the system and service is not good, but you first think about money and then the position. If you consider it, it will be good hotel for you.
Nightlife Tip : It's on the Rd. such as Khaosan Rd..

The hotel is located near Khaosan.
We must worry about tuk-tuk (kind of auto-bike-taxi). After the arrival the driver request taxi fare each person so I must pay four times the fare. Hotel must notify overcharge danger of taxi. In my opinion, Viengtai Hotel is located in good place. Also most of guest can enjoy their vacation. If you want to take a good massage you could take a massage near to Hotel. The hotel is more quiet than other hotels.

If you can get the deluxe room for under $55 it's worth it, otherwise Id say shop around, because there are others - perhaps not on the web but others that offer the same amenities but are a lot cheaper.

The pool area, the staff, nice part of the town, area. Rooms are to dark and a bit run down. The veiw from the rooms. The Tuk-tuk drivers outside the hotell where a pain. We really enjoy our stay at Vientai Hotel Bangkok this summer. Altogether we stayed at the hotel two times and in fact moved from another Hotel in Bangkok since we enjoyed our stay there last time. Our son (nine years old) spent much time in the pool swimming and diving. The staff where professional and manage to assist us in all matters. The breakfast buffe with abundance of dishes where really appreciated by all of us.
Thanks for an unforgettable stay,
Claes Sundin with family.

Don't take the taxi driver that offers trips from inside the hotel. Just go out and take one of the taxis (not tuk tuks) near by. Prices from the hotel taxis are pretty steep.
Nightlife Tip : Just across from the hotel (a bit to the left if you have your back to the hotel exit) you will find Cinnamon Club - stays open till late (like after 2 am when all the other places closes). Walk out of the hotel and approximately 300 meters up to the left and you will find a two-storey bar with a balcony on the 2nd floor. Loads of Thai youth and a great opportunity to meet some locals. You might be the only foreigner in there as everbybody else seems to flock to the overpriced places on The K Road.

Get a phonecard like TOT or Lenso to call home.
Shopping Tip : MBK is crazy and Siam Paragon has a cool aquarium for its basement floor, although it costs 750 Baht.
