Avoid this hotel. It is on a polluted canal - the whole place smells brackash. The rooms are tiny (there isn't even room for luggage & you will have to stand to use a laptop; no chair). and it's noisy; no privacy from neighbor, you can hear everything. The staff are unhelpful and unfriendly; they could care less. Breakfast was... More

i had a small snag in my reservation, and even though it didn't cost them anything, they would not accomonate me in any way, nor were the front desk people especially helpful. They basically charged me double. Find a better place with more professional staff

This is a new hotel and thus new furnishings within 5 min of khao san road. Its on the dirty canal but still a better location than on the ghetto of khao san road. The only shame is that if you want to smoke on the balcony they do not provide any chairs or stools. Its necessary to squat on... More

We stayed here for 4 nights at the start of our trip. Having been to Bangkok before I wanted to be near the Khao San Road initially, as a bit of a trip down memory lane to the mid-1990s! Korbua House is the perfect distance away, a short stroll, but enough to avoid the crowds. Our Tuk Tuk had a... More

My wife and I have never been so disappointed with a hotel in all of our travels. We had reservations and arrived at 9 am, but were not allowed to check in until 2pm. When we checked out, we were charged extra because the towels were a little dirty. We had to purchase one large towel and two hand towels... More

Very nice hotel. Restaurant pretty average but convenient. Staff not attentive but very friendly. No soap in rooms but other than that good value for money/location. In house travel agent expensive but he was really impressive. He arranged everything for us extremely quickly & made our stay very easy - was worth the extra money.

Firstly very few taxi drivers, or tuk tuk drivers, can find this place. Ensure you have the address written down, preferably in English and Thai. The hotel is down a side street with no access for cars so you willbe dropped off at the end of the street. It's only a 30second walk and the street is full of wonderful... More

Stated here for 3 nights on our arrival in Bangkok. Hotel is situated down a quiet alley with a lovely view of canal. Room was spacious and bathroom very nice in our executive room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to the action of Khoa San Road but quiet enough at night to get a good nights rest. Would recommend!

This place is perfect. The rooms are clean and modern. The sheets and the bathrooms were impressively clean. You can tell the management staff here take pride in this hotel. The location is perfect. The hotel is located in a quiet road near Khao San Road; not too close to the noise from Khao San and is merely a brisk... More
