Nine Place Sukhumvit 40

Third class cheating

As usual, the staff were efficient and kind (though Google translate is your friend).

Besides not being expensive, Nine Place is safe and quiet. Now that there is a PTT mall around the corner, all the amenities are nearby: 7-Eleven, pharmacy, coffee, food, etc.

Speaking of food, I was AMAZED to discover that here is now a new MICHELIN-listed Thai restaurant, Keawloon BKK, literally a five-minute walk away on Soi Saeng Chan (a new thing for Khlong Toei). It's family-run and quite small, so make reservations.

I come to Bangkok maybe once a month, and generally stay here (as a former long-stay). I can't add anything to the nice reviews I've already written.

However, I'd like to compliment the staff, who were great, as usual (though Google translate is your friend :-).

Nine Place 40 is in a small, very Thai soi off Rama 4. The area is not touristy, which means it's quiet and safe. There is now a PTT mall on the next block, with 7/11, Amazon/Black Canyon, Otteri, Banana IT, pharmacy, and a ton of restaurants so all conveniences are readily to hand. There is also a Food Hall across the street.

My room was large. Aircon good (though windows open), hot water excellent (really hot shower), mattress good, WiFi good, staff extremely helpful (despite language barrier; use Google translate). Security was good (important to me because I carry camera equipment).

I also appreciated the "no marijuana" policy. That can be a problem in smaller hotels. But not this one!

I am a solo digital traveller, so quiet and safety for my equipment (cameras, laptop, etc) are paramount (along with a baseline of cleanliness, hot water, aircon, laundry, etc.). Nine Place meets these requirements easily, at an excellent price. The staff is very kind (though sometimes I need Google translate).

Nine Place is also close to a PTT plaza, so near 7-Eleven, coffee (Amazon, Black Canyon), Banana computer, and several restaurants. The location is a short cab ride to BTS Ekkamai, but also good for cabbing to Silom, the shopping districts, or out to the airport.

Nine Place is not in a tourist area. When you walk down its street you will see shophouses with families and many small businesses. Also Aunties, delivery motorcycles, running children, etc. Quite different from Khao San road!

The location is suitable for easy commuting, near with BTS station and 7 eleven.

No breakfast was provided.

This is my fourth time staying at this hotel. It has a strategic locations it is near various dining options. Most importantly, the staff is friendly and efficient.

The bedsheets are not changed regularly. There is no room service at all. It is all dirty and dusty. The keys are not working. Although they said there is no deposit, they asked as 600 baht deposit. Thankfully there is one male staff who is always helpful. Except from that, the place is not livable.
