Fantastic
Pros:

I booked this hotel for three nights at a cost of 635 baht per night or 19 dollars US. I chose this hotel because of its close proximity to all the markets in and around the Chinatown area. And the fact it's only 5 minutes away from the Bangkok MRT subway system. 

I was a little skeptical because of the price but the photos looked okay the reviews were good so I said why not and went ahead and booked it. I could not have been happier the hotel is down a little alley off the main street but only 5 minutes from the Wat Mangkon MRT stop. 

2:00 p.m. check-in I went and had lunch came back to check in check in with quick no surprises. I had a standard room no window the window means a little to me so I'm never concerned about having one. 

I was on the 4th floor and I was really very pleased upon the first look it's got a small kitchenette in the room that had a cooking hob a microwave a refrigerator a kettle for hot water including plates cups utensils for cooking a regular little kitchen. A 32-in flat screen TV with very good reception but limited English channels so I brought my fire stick plugged it in and all the sudden I have all the TV I need the Wi-Fi was fast enough to support the fire stick with no buffering at all. The room has a safe it has electrical sockets on both sides of the bed. A large wardrobe. A queen size bed fresh clean linen and the bed was very comfortable not too soft not too hard just to my liking.

There are a couple of things that I was not excited about but based on a location and price no one can really complain and that was they only allowed to connections to the internet per room. I travel with a fire stick for my television my tablet and then I have my phone but I couldn't connect all three. It would not stop me from staying here again but it would be more convenient if they did allow a third connection. 

The bathroom is small but the shower area is very adequate sized again this is not something that would keep me from coming back everything was clean kitchen area the room itself and the bathroom spotless. 

Considering this is located in one of the largest tourist areas in Bangkok that being Chinatown and it's right in the heart of Chinatown the value for money is incredible I would highly recommend this hotel to anybody.

Pros:

Привітний персонал, зручне розташування в самому центрі Chinatown. Торгові вулиці в хвилині хотьби, але в номері тихо. Є кондиціонер, плита, чайник, мікрохвильовка і все необхідне.

Cons:

З мінусів старий ремонт в номері і меблі, але ціна це компенсовує.
