Nice hotel for the price, minimal but bright, cheerful, and fresh, location amazing - you can have a morning coffee in the lobby and watch the ladies from the fabric shop across the lane setting up for the day, or pop out and easily get a nice Thai breakfast, or easily walk all over the backpacker area.
There is free fruit, coffee, tea, and pastries on offer all day, which is enough for a light breakfast.
Some other reviews have called the staff rude but I found the opposite. They were lovely and accommodating. One lady was less smiley and sounded a little abrupt sometimes but I think that was more of a language issue than anything else, because she was perfectly lovely and helpful to me.
Issues some might have, but also to be expected for the area and price range:
- small bathroom
- not all rooms have electrical outlets near the bed
- as in many hotels in the region, no bedside light or bedside table
But I don’t consider these to be actual deficits for a cheap/midrange hotel in Bangkok so I’m not taking away a star.
I’d consider staying here again next time I’m in Bangkok.
