Right in the heart of nightlife but noisy till 2am

Hotel is nice downstairs and food is okay. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. Location wise it’s great for city trips and right opposite the night life/restaurant area. We fancied an early night one night (2300) but literally struggled to sleep till 0200 until the noise outside quietened down (traffic noise mainly, mopeds beeping constantly etc). Not the hotels fault at all and they did their best to move us to a quieter room so I take the blame for not researching better. Facilities wise it lacked in February, early season but the pool was empty and the sauna shut.

不満です。

タイバンルン界隈のホテルはよく泊まりますが、ここは初めてでした。今回1週間滞在しました。 ホテルの造りは2棟を1棟にしたような感じでした。 エレベーターを降りて奥に進んだ部屋の方が古い感じがしました。 各部屋に窓はありますが、建物の真ん中を吹き抜けにして、そこから光を取り入れる形ですが、部屋は全体的に暗いです。 色々トラブルがあり、2回部屋を変えて頂きました。 一部屋目はヤモリがおり、気になったので部屋を変えて頂き、二部屋目は壁、ベッドに蟻が数十匹おり、耐え難いため変えて頂き、三部屋目はトイレのゴミ箱が掃除されていませんでしたが、もはや諦めそのまま過ごしました。 海外の安宿にはそこそこ慣れていますが、この金額では正直不満です。

Despite no window the room was fine. The toilet has a shower seat which was nice. The breakfast is poor. The staff are not friendly and mind their own business. But the hotel is clean and cheap. Location is excellent, within walking distance to hundreds of Japanese style bars. Recommended.

Bedroom booked had dodgy light switches that buzzed and crackled when used. Advertised with Swimming Pool, that wasn't the case though. 1 lift o/o/o during my stay, but it was Lunar New Years day, so I can see why it wasn't fixed! Staff were lovely, spoke better English than I hoped for and did everything to assist if called upon. Food from Breakfast to Evening meals were FANTASTIC and ive eaten in some great restuarants around the globe.
