Find hotels in Banglamphu

First of all, this hotel is very luxury at a budget price. Most budget hotels in Thailand have outdated furnishings and wall hangings, but every inch of this hotel is clean, well-maintained, very luxury looking. The staff is outstanding and there is a doorman or other staff about every 20 meters of the hotel. Check-in and check-out was fast, and we even got fast service when we needed an extra room card. I mention this because I read many horror story reviews on here before we booked the place. I only saw crowds in the reception area when a bus came in (which there were many - its one of the biggest hotels in Bangkok). The breakfast was outstanding. You can eat in the cafe, which has outdoor dining, or the upstairs restaurant. Both have the same food, so it depends if want a city view with your breakfast, or some fresh morning air. The Thai restaurant at the top of the hotel wasn't very impressive. The food was bland and overpriced. We live in Northeast Thailand, so maybe we are spoiled. The best part of the hotel was the room. We stayed in a 3-bedroom suite, which was a mini-apartment. It actually looks like the hotel bought a condo building next door and turned the condos into rooms. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean and new, and there was lots of space. We actually only needed 2-bedrooms, but the upgrade price was so cheap we went with 3-bedrooms. The suites have their own lobby, elevators, and secured parking. If you want to go shopping, which was the primary reason we stayed at this hotel (the kids needed clothes for school), there is a 6-floor fashion mall below the hotel. Its the place to get good, low priced clothes (6th floor has a food court). If you want to save even more money, get up at 3am and walk outside. From 3-6am, the streets around the hotel hold the largest clothes wholesale market in SE Asia. Hundreds of sellers line the streets selling every kind of clothes you can think of. We saved 70% on school clothes this year.

modern well equipped hotel in a quiet side street close to, but not in, centre of banglamphu which can be a bit noisy. rooms clean, well equipped and furnished with all facilities. hotel resturant is good but there are also local eating places right outside door plus a very convenient 7/11. only a short walk (1/2km) over khlong banglamphu and down thanon chakrabognse to nightlife, markets and eating places etc of thanon khaosan.

I am writing multiple reviews for the same hotel and maybe these comments don't apply to this particular stay, but after booking a family room there were no family rooms available. The reason given by the hotel was flooding because this is now the rainy season in Bangkok. However, I was given two interconnecting rooms for the same price and this worked out well. This provided my family with two bathrooms as opposed to one bathroom in a family room. I like this area of Bangkok because there is a restriction on building height and therefore no high rise buildings, as there are all over the rest of the city. The traffic noise and all the tall buildings elsewhere, such as Sukhumvit, don't make for a very pleasant experience. With its low buildings, this area has some wide boulevards that are very attractively landscaped, some beautiful old buildings, and some very important temples. In addition, there are some good Indian food restaurants nearby offering great food at very reasonable prices. Khaosan Road itself is a mess and best avoided. Many of the backpackers look like vagrants and many of the Thai businesses located there cater to their needs. However, if you stay slightly outside you can avoid the backpackers while getting to see a part of Bangkok that hasn't changed much over the years. In the 30 years I have been visiting Bangkok the city has changed beyond recognition and many of those changes have been detrimental. The Banglamphu and Chinatown areas are about the only areas that haven't changed much.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I was booking to stay right on Khao San road. I was only staying for one night so I wanted to be close to the action of bars, markets and good food. I wouldn't recommend this is you were staying for a week or so, the busyness and haggling could get a bit. However, this was perfect for a short stopover for a couple of nights. Walk down stairs and the street is packed from mid afternoon only getting fuller into the night with food stalls, shopping, massages, and bars. I was surprised with the standard of the interior, this is something I'm fairly particular about. The hotel room was huge with a giant four poster king bed in the middle. Everything was very clean and nice. I had read reviews on this hotel being loud, my room was the very last room in the hallway right on Khao San road. I heard the music start at about 3pm. When I returned for bed at 11 I could hear it quite well but once I popped some ear plugs in, I slept like a baby. I would definitely go back to this hotel. I had such a great experience in bangkok due to booking this hotel in this location.

To be honest I was baffled. Some of the reviews said it was tired, wasn't a four star, poor facilities.... We thought the taxi driver had the wrong hotel as we arrived and the bell-man opened our door. Check in was easy. The pool was great to swim (I mean big enough - obviously pools are for swimming). There were plenty of loungers around for sun bathing. I did the insanity workout in the gym on my iPad and I was the only one in there. The staff were helpful, hotel was spotless and I would genuinely say we will come here again and tell all our friends. Only trade off is there isn't an easy restaurant to walk to. There is a 7-11 across the street but it closes about 4pm! But it wasn't a problem for us and the restaurant wasn't too badly priced. The wifi is strong in the room. You get an hour free and can pay for more. We debated the virtues of this as a couple. My fiancée is an avid googler and had a small period of adjustment....but if you're savvy, disciplined and log in and out every time you finish the specific task, download emails and read off line etc, then we found we could get by. One final comment is about the taxi to the airport. They charge you a fixed price of 500bht. This was mentioned in several reviews as somekind of conspiracy! Well it costs the driver 100bht each way in tolls and takes 45 mins to an hour depending on traffic. We had to sort our visa a few days before so made the same trip having hailed a metered taxi and then had to barter a price as meters are for trips within central Bangkok and they wanted to charge 600 bht. We got it for 500 in the end but then booked with the hotel for our 6am departure to save the hassle - taxi was there waiting for us and the bell-man carried our bags!! Thanks for a great experience.

Nanda is the nicest hotel we could have found in Bangkok. For a very nice price you get to stay in a calm area but walking distance from khao san and all the buzz... we walked several times, tuk tuk is about 50 baht which is close to nothing. As an architect, I was overwhelmed by the design and beauty of the hotel. Interesting design books in the lobby... A week before staying here we stayed in a 5 star hotel in Sukumvit, which was double the price, in a huge skyscraper, but we enjoyed staying in Nanda wayyyy more. Staff is amazing, helpful, pretty good english ( which is not common in Bangkok). We are coming back to Bangkok this year and we will stay in Nanda again.

The Royal Hotel is an old favourite in a great spot close to Banglamphu. It is very clean with just the essential nod to modernity. There is a good choice of room sizes and service is great and without fuss. The Royal is quiet and just a short walk to the peaceful river area, ferries, quirky bars and restaurants as well as the noisy, glitzy, a little bit crass Khosan area. This hotel is great value.

I love to stay in this hotel..I'm sure to stay here again in my next trip to Bangkok.. the hotel is very clean, friendly staff, and the best thing is many foreigners and beautiful girls staying in this hotel especially in swimming pool in the roof top.the area is very accessible for transportation.Thank you to Agoda for making my booking in the hotel perfect with no hassle and no problem.. You're the best!Thank You.I Would recommend this hotel...

We had a standard double room on the 5th floor (Room 5034). It was clean and spacious, with wide glass sliding doors that opens to a balcony facing a small alley adjacent to Khao San Road. Washbasin is outside the bathroom, on a wide counter space with a mirror that is just as wide - which we think is even more convenient than if it is located inside the bathroom. The bathroom is clean and large (larger than in most budget hotels anyway). Bed is set on a low platform as you can see in the photos, which I quite like. We stayed here during Songkran, probably the noisiest time of the year, but we didn't have trouble sleeping at all. We never even had to use the earplugs we brought with us. Either we were too drunk/ too tired to mind the noise, or the noise level reaching our room is tolerable. In any case, we were happy with our room despite the unpleasant smell that seems to come from the floor drain in the bathroom (might be missing a P-trap or a vent in the plumbing). The swimming pool is clean and is a nice size for swimming. There is a sufficient number of loungers around (and no skyscrapers around blocking the sun), and towels are available (but they eventually ran out by late afternoon). There is not too much variety in the free breakfast buffet, and the menu is exactly the same every day (or so I assume because it was the same for 4 days in a row). Strange that the TV in the lobby shows a live video feed of the pool area, and a channel in our room TV shows a live feed of the lobby area. Also, I wish we wouldn't have to log in to the free internet every time. Overall, we are happy with our stay in Dang Derm and will stay there again if we are looking to stay in the Banglamphu area.

Stayed here for five nights. Very clean, modern and industrial feel. A very new hotel when I stayed there (less than six months old). The bed as extremely comfortable, the bathroom was great with ample hot water, everything was spotlessly clean, and the staff were really helpful. Also appreciated having a safety box in the room for my valuables. In terms of style, it almost felt a little cold. It's so minimal that there are no decorative elements in the rooms other than the stenciled slogans on the walls above the beds. My room had a rather unattractive view of some neighboring buildings but I don't stay in hotels for the views. I love this location in Bangkok. There aren't other hotels in the immediate vicinity but it's a 15 minute walk to Banglamphu and the Khao San Road area (which I personally don't like but it can be very useful to have access to). It's a 15-20 minute walk to Wat Pho/Grand Palace. It's also within walking distance to Wat Sakhet (The Golden Mount) and even Chinatown. And if you don't feel like walking in the heat to any of these places, the cab rides will be short and cheap. Would definitely stay here again.

My girlfriend and I splurged a whopping $65 USD on the Chillax and I was extremely happy. I'm 6'5" and the jacuzzi was actually big enough for me to comfortably fit. Bed was fantastic, good pillows, one firmer one softer per side. Nice shower with good water pressure. The pool was also quite lovely as the water was cool. The location was the best part though. Samsen Soi 2 has some great restaurants right by the hotel. Don't go to the restaurants directly on the street, go on the side street to Jeng Noodle or Jok Pochana, both directly beside each other. Banglamphu blues bar is right across Samsen Road from the hotel too which has great live music every night.

Let me start with the good, I really did enjoy my stay here. It's in a unique location and the land has a neat history. The hotel itself is very scenic. Staff are friendly and try their best to facilitate your needs. The rooms are very well priced and I'd gladly recommend this hotel to anyone. All my complaints are relatively minor. When I arrived it turned out that my booking was mixed up somehow, instead of one bed for us the request on their end said two beds. No idea why, my PDF booking said one large bed. Then they asked my wife if her name was Jennifer (it's not). Later had my wife asking "Who's Jennifer?" The water was never hot, just warm. When I asked the cleaning lady to give my wife and me 2 minutes, she said okay and just never cleaned the room. The sound on the TV didn't work for 2 days, after the first day a maintenance man was sent to check it but I have no idea what came of that because when we returned that day it still wasn't working. All and all, we loved our stay.

RIkka Inn was the perfect place to stay! If you are interested in being near all the action of Khao San Road- this is it! However, this place was surprisingly very quiet- The hotel was right in the middle of Khao San Road but kind of set back in a way and it seemed as though most rooms were away from the street noises. I stayed there 2 nights at the beginning of my trip and one night at the very end of the trip and was glad i did. Great reception- we were to arrive at 11pm but didnt arrive till 4am due to flight delay- this wasn't a problem- our room was basic, but extremely clean and had a unique feeling (interesting decor)- comfortable beds- Most showers in Thailand were like the ones at Rikka Inn- a shower that is in the bathroom directly over the toilet- so you pretty much get the entire bathroom wet -dont forget to remove the toilet paper! Kind of annoying but we found this standard unless you are at a fancy hotel/resort where there are more western style showers- But good water pressure/hot water- excellent rooftop pool/showers/bathroom- We used on our last day and they held our bags for us for the day (20 baht/day) since we had a late departure out of Bangkok- Just outside of reception is a adorable coffee shop- some of the best i had in Bangkok- and delicious breakfast sandwiches/fruit- 7-11 also right there for any other needs as well- If you are looking to stay on Khao San Road this is absolutely the place!!! 100% recommended

So good. I came a day early and the sorted me out the same rate as the agora price, super helpful and friendly. I felt telaxed in a crazy city. They guided me to all restaurants and. Sights in the best possible way. For instance they advised me to take the boat to the grand palace instead of the traffic ridden main streets - great advice (quick and relaxing) and I was back late to eat one evening and the said Steves cafe would be open and the lady called to make sure they didn't close the kitchen before I got there. Steves cafe is a really must go place to eat when In Bangkok btw. And breakfast was so so good and the explain what everything is and the tradition etc. They even label the table for your room (after asking you what time you'd like breakfast when you arrived at check in). Everything is so easy and they help you and have book for places of interest etc. I was very happy with this place, I highly recommend a stay here!

Our stay at the New Siam Palace View was our second place we booked in Thailand. I'll will write all the details and our experience as best as possible. At arriving at the New Siam Palace View, we check-in at midday for our 3 night stay. The staff was very nice, friendly and very helpful. They ask for our passport to get a copy and 500 baht, a refundable amount. Just a security deposit in case the person breaks something or something is missing from the room. They gave us our passports back, the key to our room, a few vouchers for fruit shakes and two vouchers with the Wi-Fi information. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly. Never had a problem with it. We then went to our room and it was small, comfortable and the A/C took a few minutes to cool the room but after that it was very nice. The view from our balcony was, well, old buildings. No river view and the balcony was very small. We didn't care about that. The bathroom was basic but with everything we needed. It had a closet with a safe, tv, a small desk with mirror and a fridge with cold water bottles. After eating so much Thai food we decided to give a try to their breakfast and it did not disappoint at all. It was very good and their fruit shakes are good also. You can get a good breakfast at the lobby for 100 or 200 baht. For us, the location was excellent because it was very close the Khao San Road but really quiet. It was peaceful at night. You couldn't hear any noise from Khao San Road at all. So if you want a place to get a good night sleep but be near all the action this is the place. There is a shortcut to get to the Khao San Road from the hotel and while you are at it you will walk through local markets, stores and restaurants. The other reason we like this location was because it's close to all the temples, landmarks and touristic spots that are nearby so that's a big plus for us. Many of the reviews do mention the construction going on at the hotel. Yes, it is true. They are doing some renovations and imp

Nicely located if you wanna stay near Khao Shan Road. It's surprisingly quiet despite that it's near a night life center. But if you prefer the modern part of the city, I wouldn't recommend the location, as you need to take a cab from metro station to get there. The facility is fine, but nothing is impressive. The entrance is the best part that catches your eye. The corridors have nice ambiance, but the bed and the room is short of quality compared to 4-star hotels at similar price range in Bangkok. They didn't even provide toilet paper on first day, which is another minus. Staffs are nice and there is security guy at the front door.

hotel de moc is in a quiet leafy location,set back from the main street so it's a great place to rest after a hot day's sightseeing. there is also a lovely outdoor pool,deckside chairs and massage centre for relaxing. complimentary tuktuk service to nearby khaosan road although i enjoyed the short walk there past canal houses,gorgeous temple across the road,street sellers and seeing daily bangkok life. the hotel staff were always professional, friendly and helpful with calling for tuktuk,taxis, and finally my shuttle bus back to airport for only! restaurant breakfast and dinner menu was delicious, great fruit smoothies; though of course there are many cheap-eats outside everywhere. around the corner is the best 'old-school' cafe/tea house where you can join locals for sweet iced coffee,a pot of tea or even egg-y breakfasts.

We booked last minute after accidentally booking a hotel in the outskirts of Bangkok. We ended up accidentally booking twice online. The staff was very helpful and took care of it. Rooms are nice. The hotel is ideally situated for people looking to do sightseeing. The Grand Palace and various temples are within walking distance (or a cheap Tuk Tuk ride). If you're looking for night life, you may wish to book a hotel in another district. That said, nightlife is easily accessible by taxi. The only drawback of the hotel is that it doesn't have an in-house restaurant. That said, there are several near by.

I hate to give a positive review because more people will stay here. Best mattresses I've found on Khao San road. The secret is out. The pool is nice. Breakfast is across the street at Dang Derm. make sure you get your tickets at the front desk in the morning . Ask for wifi password before you leave the front desk or you'll be back down in the lobby. Stand in the right line when checking in else you'll be trying to check into D&D inn. Don't act like arrogant Eurotrash when you're checking in. we know you've had a long flight, your mosquito bites are itchy and your butt is sore. Realize these employees have to deal with 100s of people everyday. Being pleasant will get you much further than not. Don't deal with the Indian tailor right outside the door. His name is David and he is a thief and his clothes are inferior.

we got this hotel on a promo and it definitely made our first few days in bangkok relaxed and enjoyable. the hotel has a great pool in the center courtyard, a complimentary breakfast in the mornings (buffet style western and thai-good), and a nice seating area indoors and outdoors. the location is close enough to be able to walk to both banglamphu and the grand palace. there are plenty of taxis and tuk tuks to catch as well. we had a bit of trouble on our way in getting the taxi driver to find the place- best to print out a map. only down side was the view was parking lot, if you can you might prefer a 3rd or 4th story room.

We booked in for one night and loved it so much we extended our stay. The hotel staff were really helpful and I felt safe that there was a security guard who stayed at reception throughout the night. The rooms were luxurious and I experienced the best night's sleep I had whilst I stayed in Thailand. The location is brilliant, it's 2 minutes from the main activity (Khosan Road)The location to the airport is about 30 minutes drive (between an hour to hour and halfd during rush hour)

let me store my excess baggage when i left for 2 weeks and didn’t charge even though i had agreed to. took care of my booking to Cambodia with no pressure for upgrades or the sale at all , unlike competitors. in fact i wish they booked my train/ boat to Koh Tao as the agent i did book with didn’t reimburse when the transportation from train did not show up at 2 am and the boat was scheduled for 6 am. i had to book a hotel and miss my boat then buy additional boat tickets and taxi to pier. when i got no compensation as agreed upon i knew i would only book from villa cha cha next time. and i did.

Easy going place with decent access to tourist sites. Taxis and tuk tuks ever present at curb, but also close to boat shuttles and local buses. Multiple food options ( at Siam II or Siam I across the street). Alley connects to Soi Ram Buttri road which has lots of food, bar, tourist market options. And of course they have a pool, which you need whether you know it or not. Only mark against them: emailed them reminding them we would be arriving around 4:30am, and asked about best transport from airport of special directions for taxi driver given the late hour. They never responded and when we arrived it was clear they thought we were not coming. It did not cause a problem for us, but it would have been nice to get some feedback from them about getting to their place in the middle of the night. That said, I would definitely stay there again, and plan on it when we go back to Bangkok later in our trip.

I'd say this place exceeded my expectations, I've stayed in some boutique hotels which, while having great decor and facilities, still feel like a "hotel". But the atmosphere and staff at Bangkok Publishing Residence give you a very cozy and intimate feeling, while the overall decor and amenities feel luxurious but not pretentious. I especially love the rooftop garden where they grow the most delicious salad I've had in years! I'll surely comeback the next time I'm in Bangkok!

totally clean..friendly & helpfull staffs(all of them that i met). a little problem when i arrive at 11 PM and they can't find my booking number..still wondering how could my booking not listed. luckily i saw my name on their booking file (in a clear holder)! but anyway, staff on duty was really really helpful. We can find street food nearby by walkng 5min, grand palace & watpho can be reached just about 10min by taxi or tuktuk. location is quite easy to find. Golden mount temple just 15min walking (and it is a beautiful temple!) the only thing i can complain from this hotel is no slippers at room. overall, it was a really nice stay and worth it!

Hotel is situated behind soi which have really cheap local Thai food ranging from about 50thb. Phuket is indeed expensive and the average prices are 100-200thb. The next best restaurant is called PhukeTurk. Cheap and tasty. The night receptionist is really friendly and welcoming. The rooms perfectly clean and have all the amenities for long stay.... Huge fridge, clothes liner... U can wash yr clothes opposite the hotel.. There's a coin machine 30-50thb. Look no further... This hotel is simply the best in its class!

Was traveling with my significant other and we absolutely loved the hotel! The location is great! It’s right by the democracy monument so giving directions when taking a tuk-tuk or cab was easy, Khao San road and the golden mountain are just a few blocks away, and we quickly learned our was around the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and did a wonderful job of making us feel welcomed. Everything was kept very clean and the housekeepers came by daily to tidy up our room, empty the trash bins, and give us fresh towels. They stocked the room with toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash, q-tips, and more! Our room also had a mini fridge which was very convenient and we used it to keep our many bottles of water cold. We also loved that we could easily control the temperature in our room with a very nice air conditioning system. The only reason it doesn’t get a 5 Star for facilities is because there are a few minor inconveniences, but nothing big enough to ruin our stay! The main inconvenience was the fact that the toilet is extremely close to the sink. I am 5’6 and my boyfriend is 6’0 and we were hitting our knees on the sink every rim we had to go to the bathroom.
