Pros:

Overall a good stay, only one hard pillow but staff happy to provide another, small details could improve stay, only one mirror in bathroom, no bin in room, could do with a deeper clean, for example shower head needed a descale, it wax slightly black. Also needed more light. Was quiet and pool area was nice

Good value for money. Bring your own hand soap.
Pros:

Many people mentioned the good location. For us it was a bit too far out of the city center. Khaosan is really close so if you’re in to that kind the location is fantastic.

Service, food, coffee excellent.


Older hotel with lots of noise from the other rooms and especially the streets. We slept fine with earplugs as the beds are comfortable.

A BIG minus is the missing hand soap from either of the two toilets in the mutual area and in the room. That is just straight up disgusting. We bought soap as the first thing upon our arrival.

Pros:

Jeg og en veninne sov her i 5 netter. Vi elsket oppholdet. Hotellet er rent, pent og basseng området er en deilig oase å slappe av i midt i travle Bangkok. God beliggenhet med gangavstand til khao san road og mange ulike templer. De som jobbet der var veldig hjelpsomme, hyggelige og alltid tilstede. Hotellet virket trygt, rolig og alt i alt veldig bra. Jeg ville gjerne bodd her igjen om jeg skal tilbake til Bangkok. Ambefales på det sterkeste. Det eneste er at sengen er litt hard, men ikke noe som er veldig problematisk.

Pros:

This hotel is amazing! Exactly how you would picture medium price hotel/villa in the heart of Bangkok. You're in walking distance to a lot of the important things. Do you want to say. Also, I took a bus from the airport to stop and it drop me off a block From the hotel for only ฿50! That's basically $1.50. Staff are super friendly room is beautiful typical amenities great view.

방콕숙소는 무조건 여기!
Pros:

프론트를 지나면 비밀의 공간 같은 아름다운 전경이 펼쳐지고 수영장과 수영장을 둘러싼 작은 정원이 큰 강점인 숙소입니다.
물론 룸 컨디션도 아주 좋구요.
카오산로드도 도보로 쉽게 갈 수 있는 위치입니다.
근방에 세븐일레븐도 있고 맛집도 많습니다.
무엇보다도 친절한 스텝들 덕에 참 좋은 기억으로 여행을 마쳤습니다. 다음 방콕 여행때도 무조건 여기서 묵을겁니당:)

Pros:

Still a very nice place to stay. It’s a bit more crowded and packed ever since they added rooms. Coffee is great. That said, breakfast is a bit overpriced.

Hôtel correct mais accueil assez limite
Pros:

L'hôtel était propre et agréable. Espace piscine cosy et possibilité de prendre un verre et le petit déjeuner sur place.
Notre chambre donnait sur la rue. Pas de gros problème de bruit mais balcon pas franchement agréable du coup. Et de toute façon sans chaise...
On déplorera tout de même vraiment un personnel à l'accueil sans grande amabilité et qui n'a su prodigué aucune suggestion de restauration à proximité le jour où nous sommes arrivés et souhaitions rester proche. On nous a même envoyé vers la mauvaise gare routière le surlendemain pour que nous réservions notre ticket de bus... Un peu les boules de payer le taxi et de passer un temps infini dans les bouchons pour rien...

Pros:

Friendly staff. Nice common areas. Quiet canals to walk on behind the property. Close to the tourist areas. Good selection of beers in the lobby from around the world. Didn't try the breakfast as there were many options in the area

Ruhig und doch zentral. Ein Schmuckstück
Pros:

Wir hatten hier einen großartigen Aufenthalt. Wir waren 2 Nächte dort um "in Thailand anzukommen".
Großes, sehr schönes Zimmer, zwar zur Straße hin aber das hat kaum gestört. Der begrünte Innenhof mit Pool ist traumhaft schön und eine wahre Oase inmitten der Stadt. Zur kao San road sind es 5 bis 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Es ist ruhig und doch zentral. Sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr gepflegt. Klare Empfehlung!
