Il contesto è molto particolare, la reception si trova dentro una galleria in cui ci sono anche locali, negozi di tatuag
Pros:

Posizione perfetta se si è consapevoli di dove si sta andando, perché sia nel cuore della via, camera davvero molto carina anche se non grande, piscina raccolta ma bella e curata.

Cons:

Il personale della reception, visto forse anche il contesto, non è esattamente accogliente. Il contesto dell’ingresso è molto particolare e, pur avendo staff di sicurezza, potrebbe spaventare un po’ all’inizio specialmente chi viaggia in famiglia come noi.

Mittendrin, denno ch ruhig und gut ausgestattet
Pros:

Super Lage - zentral und guter Ausgangspunkt für das Stadtzentrum. In der lebendigen Khaosan Road gelegen, Zimmer trotzdem ruhig mit Blick auf die Rückseite und schönes Dachpool!

Cons:

Das 3. Bett ( Beistellbett) war ziemlich hart. Ein Brett war durchzuspüren.
Wirklich nur für kleine Kinder, für Teenager Matraze zu dünn.

Posizione ottima
Pros:

Struttura centralissima e comoda sia la sera che di giorno. Piscina bella e indispensabile dopo aver girato tutto il giorno con il clima di Bangkok.

Cons:

Purtroppo essendo così centrale è molto rumorosa perché proprio sotto è pieno di locali e discoteche che suonano fino a tarda notte e non essendo molto insonorizzato si sente tutto.
Basta scegliere se si preferisce centralità o tranquillità .

Pěkný čistý a pohodlný hotel, ubytovala bych se znova.
Pros:

Krásné čisté postele, luxusně příjemné povlečení. I když jsme nechtěli denní úklid, každý den za dveřmi 2 láhve vody a WC papír. Krásný střešní bazén.

Cons:

Hotel je v centrální ulici, v nočních hodinách je slyšet hluk a hudba, ale dá se. Měli jsme balkon do dvora, výhled nic extra. Chybí sušák na plavky na balkoně.
