Convenient stay plus amazing staff
Pros:

Convenient location, the room was big with balcony and the bathroom was spacious as well. Amazing staff, very helpful and polite. Easily one of my fave go-to hotels in the area since I love staying near Phrom Phong. Looking forward to the next stay!

Cons:

Right next to it is a weed shop so going in and out of the hotel you will have a whiff of weed.

Cons:

There is a small section next to the hotel’s main entrance that is occupied by a cannabis shop, and the smell of marijuana is very strong. This was quite unpleasant and seriously did not match the photos shown in the listing.

ひどい
Pros:

ロケーションは良い

Cons:

バルコニー付きの部屋を予約したが、ホテル側のミスで空きが無く、バルコニー無しの部屋になった。
カードを受け取り部屋へ行くと開錠できない。
スタッフに伝えに行くと何やら問題がある様で待たされる。
問題が解決したとの事で部屋へ行くと、なんと既に部屋の中には他の宿泊客がいる。
再度スタッフに伝えに行くと部屋を間違えてだとの事を新たな部屋のカードを渡される。
やっと部屋へ入れるが暫くすると今度は他のチェックイン客に私の部屋を当てがった様で部屋へ入って来る。
更には朝食付きで予約していたので時間、場所を確認しに行くと朝8時に部屋へ持って行くと言われる。
8:30までは待って朝食が来ないのでチェックに行きクレームを入れる手違い?等々言い訳ばかり。
デポジットの返金も戸惑いチェックアウトで約30分も要する。
あまりにもひどすぎる。

The location of Hotel Retro39 is close to the BTS station and the hotel is also convenient.
Pros:

1. The location of this hotel is very close to the BTS PHROM PHONG station and it makes it easy for me to move when traveling via BTS.
2. I booked this room at the last minute for a stay of 1 night only and I am very satisfied with the neat and clean room. The room is also spacious for 2 people.
3. The facilities in the room are also provided such as an electric kettle, 2 bottles of mineral water, a mini fridge, a hairdryer and a safety box.
4. There are many shops around the hotel area such as a spa massage center, restaurants, pubs and also a 7-eleven convenience store.
5. This hotel is suitable for solo travelers or small groups. Not suitable for large families because the hotel environment is very narrow especially in the main lobby area.

Cons:

1. The room booked has no window.
2. The hairdryer is broken. ( Room 503 )
3. The lights in the room are quite dark.
4. A deposit of THB1000 must be paid before being given the room key. The deposit will be returned upon check-out.

Great budget friendly hotel
Pros:

Hotels in great location, right next to a big shopping centre and BTS train so everything is very convenient. There's a small 7-11 just opposite hotel as well.
Bed was comfortable and everything normal was provided, water, coffee, soap shampoo, and even a toothbrush and toothpaste set which is amazing for a hotel in the pice point.
Reception staff were friendly and helpful, booked me a taxi to the airport.

Cons:

There's was construction going on somewhere near which was very loud. Not the hotels fault of course just unlucky with the time I visited.
The doors on the balcony allow a lot of sound through so can hear traffic noise all night.
