    the bathroom was a little small.

    The room was old but it was very cozy. It even had a little kitchenette and cutlery which we used as we bought takeouts to eat. The location is great. It was walking distance to some of the places we wanted to go to and close to the subway as well. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    The location was great (close to MRT, in the heart of China Town) and safe. Staff were super friendly and always ready to help — they were truly amazing. For this price especially, it was more than I hoped for!

    Its seems dirty. There was rice on the stove. Something had been splashed against the kitchen wall. The bedhead was dusty. The bed had a huge curve where my hips went. The air con rattled all night. The room is very smelly from lack of ventilation and there's mould in the shower.

    The location is great. The room and bathroom are a pretty good size. There was te & coffee, a little fridge and toiletries.

    A mini studio for a great price!

    Unless you are particularly interested in China Town, it is a little far from the city centre - about a 10/15min bike ride. The place is tired/old and could do with a decent paint job, and a general update - the TV was one of those old ones with the giant back part! The bed sheets/towels were often ripped, and some had old stains on them (they were always clean, just stained). The washing machine and dryer operate on 10baht coins - but there was no coin machine, so I had to go to the 7-eleven and try to get change every time. Installing a coin machine would make life a lot easier.

    The hotel room I stayed in was more like a studio. It had a kitchen, bathroom, bed, and area to eat/work. This was great for the cost, as anything in Bangkok with a kitchen was much more expensive. Having a washing machine and dryer for use was very handy for anyone travelling long term. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

    They made everything so easy, I have nothing negative to say.

    Clean, comfortable and cute little room, friendly staff, lift (we were on the4th floor and had a lot of luggage) In the heart of Chinatown so not the land of smiles but tons of great food around, especially in the evening. Also, quiet location.

    No room cleaning during my stay (3 nights). There was no extra toilet paper in the room - had to buy myself from 7Eleven. Staff spoke very little english.

    Good location near to MRT, 7Eleven and market streets. Coin laundry self service at the hotel. Microwave oven and fridge in the room. Good waterflow in the shower.

    Staff isn't as friendly as when it was still The Check Inn. There is no breakfast available like in the past. The open roof where we used to be able to have breakfast or just something to drink is now a store room. We did not ask to have our rooms cleaned but they could have at least supplied us with bottled water, clean towels and toilet paper. The overall feeling of the whole place is just not good anymore.

    I like the location and the streetfood in China town.

    I only stayed for three weeks, wish it was longer.

    I enjoyed my stay , the staff were exceptional and went out of their way to help. Kob and Pueng gave advice where to go and eat in Chinatown and organise a taxi if needed. The cleaning ladies Noy, Jimmy and Pu always made up my room leaving it spotless clean. Always a smile and welcome on my arrival,
