Just a very short walk from the epicenter of Bangkok's backpackerville, Khaosan Road, the Rambuttri is something of an icon for travelers seeking a neat, clean, somewhat basic, but economic accommodation option in Bangkok. The front office staff of this large hotel are well versed in service provision, and generous in their advice to clients. The hotel's adjacent restaurant offers only food of an average standard: recommend that it be avoided, and any of the 100's of local options be tried.

Firstly the hotel is very dated and in need of a refurbishment.. looks not much like the photos. Internet barely works if at all. And the mattresses are typically Asian hard.. but that’s common across Asia I find. The hotel though is well positioned for getting about. Markets right outside which is a bonus. Overall cheap enough for a short stay.

This is a great hotel for the price.
Great location (walking distance to khao San road) with a variety of restaurants, shops, massage parlors and bars nearby.
2 swimming pools - very few hotels come with swimming pools in the area and price range
Rooms are clean, comfy, with aircon, TV and fridge
Breakfast was 250Bht, buffet style with Asian and western options. Would stay here again.
