Great 6 night stay

The workers are amazing there! The location was in a pretty quiet location. Most of the shopping centers and night markets felt like it was a 20 min drive.

The location of this hotel is great. Short walking distance to some really great markets in China Town. The alley to the hotel seems a little dicey at first, but turned out to be a good stay. Nothing fancy, but very clean and all a person needs.

This place is located in Chinatown, requiring a short walk from the main road. The staff speak limited English. It's suitable for an overnight stay, though the room is smaller than it appears in the pictures. I also find it a bit pricey for its location and condition.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
This is a really inexpensive property right in the heart of Chinatown. Very close to the night market. The management is very responsive to my questions before I went. I had to reschedule the stay to the next day because my flight was rescheduled as well and Expedia accommodated my request very well. This property is old and about an hr taxi ride from the airport. Traffic is bad during rush hour so plan accordingly. That is not bad at all. The only concern I had is the receptionist spoke very little English. Only to get me to my room. The other concern I had was a safety concern because the receptionist gave my room number to the taxi driver that dropped me off. I knew this because i arranged to be picked up the next morning at 3 am and the taxi driver who picked me up showed me a text with my room number. Not sure if this is the standard way of identifying a taxi passenger but to me, it is a safety concern.

All is well except the aircon is noisy, the water temperature is low and they need to ensure the bedsheets are clean.

Our room was pretty run down - ended up checking out and leaving for a different hotel that same evening. It is in between alleys, but if you’re looking for main Chinatown strip, you’re very close.

Mycket bra

Mycket centralt. Hade allt vi behövde för ett par övernattningar i bangkok. Plus poäng för att receptionen var bemannad 24/7. De var jättevänliga och gick smidigt att checka in. Om man ska anmärka något så är det att room servicen är eftermiddag efter 16.00. Så en dag när vi kom tillbaka till hotellet för att duscha och byta om så var städerskan i rummet . Men det var en liten detalj eftersom vi var ute hela dagarna för det mesta :)

Hotel in the middle of Chinatown in a dead end street. It is behind a temple. The Good - close to Yaowarat road, 7 mins walk to Wat Makrong blue line. Supermarket nearby. Room are cl an. The Bad - rooms are not well insulated so you can hear the street noise.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I had lived 5 days at this property. I like property is very close by market, near transportation. But property did not supply enough hand soap, shower soap, kitchen soap, toilet paper, unusable kitchenware such as pan or bowl. Also, very old towels and dirty pillow sheet. I saw only a staff running for housekeeping that not enough employees.
