Nine design is a fabulous hotel. It feels like a small upscale boutique hotel, extremely friendly manager always ready to help you in person or on the phone if she is not on site. Exceptional staff who are also friendly and competent at their jobs, at the front counter, serving complimentary breakfast, or cleaning the rooms. Very clean room and cute layout in room and breakfast and seating Area on main floor. Overall a fantastic hotel and a great experience. Would definitely return!!!

Amazing Stay!!!!
Loved, loved, loved this place. Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff and a good location. The staff went above-and-beyond by providing a typical Thai dessert while we waiting for a cab, gave us and mailed out postcards and provided small trinkets to remember our stay, at no charge! I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bangkok!

Best value accommodation in the Siam / Pathumwan area though you still need to walk around 15-30 minutes to most big malls in the area. Don't worry much since you can walk through the skywalk and malls with AC to avoid humid and hot weather of Bangkok. Easy access to BTS National Stadium station is a plus. You can walk around 15-20 minutes to Petchabury soi 5 and 10 for night street food or to have quick taxy ride to Yaowarat (Chinatown) for night street food party. The room is clean and well-equipped including fast wi-fi connection that allows Youtube and Netflix streaming. The services are wonderful though staff may not speak English much. The lady boss treats each guest as her personal guests with many dessert and breakfast treats and she even gave us farewell gift / souvenir.

Small hotel in the heart of Bangkok
I had a wonderful experience. The owner is a beautiful and very kind person who made us feel very much at home in her small and very personal hotel. Unfortunately, I am sad to report that there was an unruly guest who was flicking the light switches and slamming doors in the middle of the night. Something our poor hostess cannot control.

Highly recommended
It’s a small hotel in a city full of multi storey behemoths - and all the better for it. Super clean room, good a/c and excellent wifi. Add in the happy staff and what more could you want. If you like hanging around a hotel’s public spaces or bar this is not the place for you but if you’re looking for a comfy bed in a good location away from the girlie bars and massage parlours this is it.

Would return in a heartbeat.
Had a wonderful stay at Nine Designs. The staff could not do enough for us - we got a postcard and stamp, a bag of snacks for our flight home and a notebook as a gift. The rooms were spacious, clean and well decorated. The hotel is also very well located for all the sites of Siam, which is mainly the malls!

Great location, wonderful staff, clean & comfy
Only 5- min. walk to Jim Thompson's House, National Stadium metro station and Tokyu department. Food court in the department (3F) is reasonable. The staff was extremely helpful, fluent in English & Japanese (or more languages). Multiple 7-11 stores nearby. Quiet as not facing to the main Street. Free cushioning slippers, sodas, instant coffee & snacks in room, and yogurt, mashing-operated espresso coffee, bottle water & juice are available 24/7 by the lobby. Uber from the airport to the hotel was 325TB. Grab was a bit more expensive and would immediately cancel your ride as soon as you lose WiFi connection. NOTE: I saw SIM available for purchase at the airport or 7-11 stores 299TB for 7 days, which I did not bother. The hotel has fast WiFi access. Take-out breakfast available upon advanced request.

Very convenient location, in the heart of downtown Bangkok, for shopping (MBK and Paragon), MTS access (National Stadium station), and Jim Thompson House. This place is a bit of a hike to Wat Pho, Royal Palace, Wat Arun, etc. Overall, I would describe Nine Design as quaint, clean, and comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly. I cannot emphasize this enough :) We had to take a cab to the airport around 03:00 and the staff prepared a to-go breakfast for us! This hotel is no-frills but highly recommended.

Very pretty with the sweetest owner
The owner of Nine Design is so attentive and thoughtful. She is genuinely concerned that her guests should be comfortable and have everything they need. The rooms are so beautifully decorated with fresh lively and appealing original artworks and lovely individualised pieces of furniture. The bed was so comfortable. I had a really good sleep.

Small hotel with lots of heart
It's found down a small side street and has a small frontage but the welcome and heart is massive. You know you are in not in a massive hotel chain, this is a very small hotel that cares about all its guests and bends over to accomodate , on the first morning they had 3 mobiles on the go trying get us a cab to Chaling tang. Mei had advice on where to go and when she didn't know. Rang around. In regards to breakfast we didn't have high expectations considering the price but we were wrong, it was freshly cooked with a Thai or western choice. I'm allergic to pork and when Mei found out she sorted me an alternative and the next day had arranged her Mum to make me a chicken fried rice- and very good it was too. The location is central so very easy and cheap to get cabs everywhere though it was also near public transport. MBK has great little night market outside with fantastic street food very cheap clean and lots of variety, it's about a 800m walk from the hotel. The room was immaculate and the little treats were appreciated as was the free mini bar with softs and water and the coffee machine. We loved our stay and would recommend to all who want a base in Bangkok and also the extra service of a local helping you plan and navigate Bangkok.

駅至近のプチホテル
BTSから5分程度で立地は大変便利。大通りから少し奥なので騒音も気にならないです。スタッフは大変親切で、午後にはタイのオヤツを準備してくれたり、チェックアウト時にお土産までくれました。 部屋は掃除が行き届いていますが、TVはタイ語の番組のみ、またセーフティーボックスが無いのが気になりました。シャワーは水量が少ない時があり、不便を感じます。総合的にはタイの雰囲気を楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。

BTSのナショナルスタジアム駅に隣接、SIAM駅までも徒歩10分程度の最高の立地です。 ホテルは小さいながらも清潔で、お洒落。スタッフは皆さん若く、礼儀正しく、感じがよいです。24時間スタッフが常駐していて安心感もありました。 朝食はブュッフェではなく、毎回作りたてをサーブして頂くスタイルです。 メニューはタイの目玉焼き、ナマズフレーク(甘いソボロのようでとても美味しい)の入ったサンドイッチ、フルーツ盛り合わせ、タイの雑炊でした。メニューは毎度同じですが、温かい作りたてを頂けるのはありがたかった。 レストランスペースの冷蔵庫にはヨーグルト、ミネラルウォーター、コーラ、スプライト、ジュースが無料で常備、カプチーノ、モカ、カフェラテなどのコーヒーメーカーも自由に使えます。 ホテルの部屋も広く、清潔感がありました。無料でお菓子やコーラ、スプライト、コーヒーメーカー、ミネラルウォーターのサービスもありました。 チェックアウト後、出発までの時間を利用して、荷物を預かって頂きながら、徒歩2分のジムトンプソンの家でランチ、ショッピングをして戻ると、タイのデザート盛り合わせをサービスして頂きました。それだけでも感激だったのに、更にゾウのキーホルダー、フラワーキャンドルのプレゼントまで、、 出発する時もスタッフの方が皆さんでお別れに出てきて下さったり、毎晩遅くに帰っても必ず挨拶しに出てきて下さり、とても温かい気持ちになりました。 バンコクにまた行く時には必ずこちらのホテルに泊まろうと思います。

Kind and clean
Thanks for your kind hospitality during my stay. The location was also great; close to both skytrain station and a big supermarket that I could notice from the regional map from the front desk. (I regret my laziness) Although I arrived late, the check in process could not be more efficient and smooth, I think. The room was clean and had a ceiling mounted air conditioning with control panel on the wall. The restroom + shower booth was naturally ventilated with shower heads of both rainfall and handheld types. I reserved with breakfast but this time my schedule made me to skip a few; then the staff prepared a snack bag for me. I also had a good time with included in-room drinks and high speed coffee machine at the lobby, which was much faster then the one at my home. I hope I stayed longer unless I had a following schedule at home. Best wishes

Gradevole soggiorno nel centro di Bangkok
Piccolo hotel ben gestito vicino ai centri commerciali di Siam Square, (ma anche alla splendida casa di Jim Thompson). Posizione tranquilla e ideale per visitare questa parte della città, che riteniamo però decisamente meno affascinante dell’old town. Accoglienza gentile e molto apprezzabile la buona colazione offerta.

可以有更好的選擇
酒店位於BTS national stadium站附近,在小巷的中間,樓下早上有不少的街邊檔,所以衛生情況有點差,能走小路穿過民居15分鐘到Ratchathewi站,從酒店走到siam的商場約15分鐘,地理位置不算太好。 工作人員的態度不錯,能用基本的英文溝通。 酒店房內整潔程度一般,一開始有怪味,但開冷氣後比較好,廁所不是太乾淨,水力不足,水溫忽冷忽熱,容易燙傷。酒店有提供少量免費零食和汽水在房間,但擺放的地方有食物碎屑,引來大蟑螂,差點被嚇死,只好叫前桌的職員上來處理,擾攘了一輪才處理好。 下次再來不會再考慮入住。

交通至便、ホスピタリティ良好
BTSのナショナルスタジアム駅から徒歩5分程。Siamのショッピング街へも徒歩の距離。ナショナルスタジアム駅からBTSに乗れば、サパーンタクシン駅(三大寺院巡りの為のチャオプラヤー川の水上交通最寄)へも12分くらいと交通至便。 近隣には、セブンイレブンやタイ式マッサージ店、スーパーのTESCOもあり便利。 バラマキ用のお土産買うならスーパーお勧めです。 ホテルは小ぢんまりとしていますが、清潔で快適。冷たい飲み物やコーヒーなども無料。 朝飯も無料ですが、ボリュームもあり文句ないですね。 従業員の方も、英語は拙いですが、一生懸命で好感もてます。 高級ホテルには比較できませんが、コストを考えると出色だと思います。 もう一度行くなら、リピートしたいですね。

很不錯的酒店
酒店比較近BTS National stadium, 下樓梯走一段路, 在siam@siam酒店的巷子轉進去直走就到了. 酒店裝修西式, 有些年份的感覺. 整體整潔. 房間挺大的, 還配有小梳化和2把椅子. 房間內的零食免費吃. 因為下訂後告知旁邊有裝修地盤, 所以一大早就會有些噪音, 不過要是白天出外玩的話, 就沒有問題了. 旅館職員很好, 遇到三個都會耐心解答問題, 還有地圖顯示附近有大型超市. 最驚喜的是早餐, 一人一份, 但很豐富, 還是即時煮出來的, 吃得很飽. 如果以後旁邊的地盤完工了, 可以考慮再去住宿

Excelência em atendimento.
Excelente hotel e excelente localização!!! Eu e meu marido nos hospedamos na última noite de nossa viagem em Bangkok, porque esse hotel fica 5 minutos caminhando dos melhores shoppings de Bangkok (MBK, Siam Discovery, Siam Square, Siam Paragon). Chegamos num calor de quase 40 graus e a miss Mei nos recebeu muito bem, ela é muito simpática e assim que chegamos, ela nos trouxe aqueles sucos de caixinha pequenos que toma de canudinho pra nos refrescarmos, deu ótimas dicas de compras em Bangkok, explicou tudo sobre os shoppings, qual era bom de comprar o que e onde não comprar também. O hotel é pequeno e muito aconchegante, tem poucos quartos, mas os quartos são bem espaçosos e é super confortável, o banheiro era excelente e tinha box, o que é uma raridade na Tailândia, a internet era boa tb, o café da manhã era bom e tudo que tem dentro do frigobar é de graça e aqueles amendoinzinhos e outras coisinhas de comer tb. Agora o melhor de tudo é que ali do lado da recepção tem uma geladeira com água, suco de caixinha pequeno, coca cola, sprite que você pode pegar a hora que quiser de graça. Na hora que a gente ia sair a miss Mei falava pra gente levar água geladinha com a gente, a hora que a gente voltava ela falava pra pegar uma coca ou suco. No dia que a gente foi embora, depois que fiz o check out, o Karn que é o moço que estava na recepção a noite a hora que fui embora fez uma sacola com água, suco, bolinhos e mais algumas coisinhas de comer pra levar na viagem, muito fofo.
