    Big roach in the room, but that’s Thailand for you! Not a social hostel.

    Very lovely people, easy check in, very comfortable futon mattress, close to Chinatown and grand palace and Khaosan

    It's pretty simple. The bar outside was closed. I didn't met any other person there

    Good hotel for one or two nights to explore the area around. The staff is very helpful and gives you all information you need

    We did not have toilet paper or the room cleaned at least once. The shower was very very uncomfortable because after showering it because a pool, the whole shower is flooded and it takes 1 night for the water to go away. Very thin walls and noisy place, we can hear everything whenever someone showers in the hotel or when someone speaks loud. We were woken up 4 days in a row because of the lady owner of the hotel I think (elderly woman) who was screaming and banging on someone’s door at 6am (because they did not pay probably) but this is not how you are supposed to handle your clients. The owners were drinking beers when we asked them to help with our flooded shower. The main problem with this hotel is the noise not coming from the street since it’s in an alley but from the attitude of the people sleeping there. Woken up at 5am by Chinese people screaming at their children right in front of our door…

    The location very close to everything and felt safe thanks to cameras and a card to enter.

    It was quite okay for short stay during your visit around Wat Arun, Wat Pho and Wat Saket.

    Nothing in particular. Just keep in mind that the hotel will lock its front gate in the night and give you key for the side gate. Also there’s no hair dryer and fridge in the room.

    The location is near the Wat2 places and Grand Palace. And the owner is very friendly and helpful. Thank you

    The room felt small and was not so comfortable but it is a hostel and the price is low for a prime area.

    Proximity to the flower market, palace, temples, museum, and the very friendly and helpful staff.

    Two mattresses on the floor and two bottles of water. That’s it. They didn’t change the sheets or towels.

    The location is great for those who want to go sightseeing. A few steps from China Town market and Wat Arun. The staff were nice and helpful. Great people 🙂

    Good place to walk to major Bangkok sites. Recommended if you don't spend much time in your room.

    My room was gloomy. I had a window but with another building maybe 5 feet away, I had no natural light. And the ceiling light was 4 low wattage bulbs, that all together were not very bright. I could see, but not well, and was unable to read a book in the light. The hallways sometimes smell like cigars (although my room was non smoking and no odor)

    Excellent location, walking distance to many major tourist sites and to a metro station. It might be impossible to find another hotel at this value price point in an equivalent Bangkok location. Bed was Comfy. Staff was nice.

    The hotel manager was friendly, but the hotel owner woman came to my room at minute intervals, even though it was still my day and I was still in the bathroom at the time, she came to my room for charge. The room was dirty and the sheets smelled bad.

    The old lady staff (or maybe host) is very unfriendly. She requests me to check out before 11:30, even though the hostel was very empty at that time. And I asked if I could leave my backpack after checking out to have lunch? She said it was ok until 3pm . If left after 3pm, she will charge 100bth more for backpack keeping. Never come back again.

    Good location.

    The bed was small and hard, sheets had weird stains on them, cleanliness was questionable. The bathroom was small and without a separate shower - so when you shower everything is wet and the bathroom is wet all the time. It´s doable but not comfortable. There wasn´t toilet paper or soap. The old lady was not very nice and didn´t speak english.

    The location is perfect - you can walk to Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Chinatown... Price for this location and room is very good, so if you are on a budget or staying in Bangkok for 3-4 days and only slepp in the room then it´s perfect for you. The guy at the reception was friendly and spoke english. They watch our bags after checkout.

    I love the place. Walking distance to Wat Po and Grand Palace. The place is clean and facilities were good. It reminds me of my auntie's house. I feel at home. The manager Kew was very hospitable and accommodating. He helped me a lot. I will return to Thailand with my parents and sister. We will stay here.
