“Won't come back to Sawasdee Smile Inn”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2012

The rooms were small and a relatively bad value for the money. The location was good within a few minute walk to Khao San road. The staff was down right rude and incapable of handling the simplest task. The reception staff insulted me and then tried to rip me off when paying for the room. You won't see amy smiles... More

I got there and was greeted by members of staff, neither of whom smiled. I had a reservation but they wouldn't look to see if I has one as I had no printed confirmation. So I went to an Internet cafe and paid to print it off. I got there, paid, plus 500B key deposit and checked into the smallest... More

So dirty we slept on top of the bed with t shirts covering the pillows. I couldn't stand on the floor with bare feet and taking a shower took a lot of bravery. The receptionist was a bit rude but the bar staff were nice. On the whole not worth the 300 baht per night, the location is good but... More

Smile Inn has a great location right on Soi Rambuttri -- the main walking drag in the tourist ghetto of Khao San Road. If you want to get drunk and watch the human parade and bargain shop for random souvenirs, Rambuttri is the place to be. And if you want to do it all on the cheap, then consider the... More
