Clean and comfortable- great stay
Pros:

I booked the ground floor room without windows because that was all that was left, but it turned out to be the best! No road noise, no morning light waking you up, a comfortable bed and a spacious room, and a 24 hour clerk watching over your room- I couldn’t ask any better for the first couple jet lagged days in Bangkok.

Cons:

Nothing

Un lugar como en casa
Pros:

Este hotel es un excelente lugar en pleno Chinatown.

Las habitaciones están muy bien, limpias, con una cocina funcional y un personal muy simpático.

Además hay una máquina para lavar y sacar la ropa en la puerta del hotel por unos 50 bath cada máquina.

Für Backpacker gut.
Pros:

Wenn einem Chinatown gefällt ist es ein toller ruhiger Ort. Wenn man pingelig mit Sauberkeit ist dann ist Chinatown nichts. Abends ist die Hölle los mit Essensständen. Wer kochen will hat wine Kochnische. Nescafe free. 2 Wasser free. Guter Wasserdruck

Cons:

Check-in erst ab 2pm.
Raum könnte größer sein aber für den Preis gut.

Pros:

Perfect Location. Near to everything. The metro, the bus, street foods, currency exchange beside 711. Everything we needed was within the vicinity. It was perfect for our stay. We've always take the bus to where we wanted to go and it's just cheap. Helpful and kind staff.

Cons:

There was a smell in our room that doesn't seem to go away on our first night. It smelled wet or something that was quite uncomfortable. Maybe from the aircon but was not as bad when we stayed there longer. There was no ventilation in the toilet. And there's obviously moist problems in the room you can see from the walls and ceilings.

Если коротко пено переночевать то нормально дольше двое суток уже некомфортно
Pros:

Локация потрясающая.
На этом все плюсы заканчиваются

Cons:

Трое суток жила в отеле, ни разу не принесли свежие полотенца, не было уборки, не поинтересовались нужно ли чего поменять. Комнату убрала 20 квадратных метров но дали точно меньше ту которая 16. Это не было бы так критично но она жутко нагревалась, было постоянно душно и влажно в комнате
