Staffs are nice and polite. Room is good but I'm actually like build-in closet. Location is very perfect if you have to go to embassy in morning. Anyway I will give 9.5 out of 10. Thanks.

Close to Embassy District
Staff not particularly helpful. Asked for a kettle for the room and told they had none. Later on, asked the evening receptionist, and he produced one for us immediately. (Thank you) Why would any Hotel not put a kettle in a room so that guests can make a cup of coffee? The room was spacious but basic. Good fridge, hopeless 1950’s TV which worked intermittently because of loose wiring on the plug socket, decent bed. Bathroom and shower functional. Water leaking from a hose when we first entered the room and had to call maintenance. Good location for most Embassy’s. Would I stay there again? Only if nothing else was available in the same area.

The price (THB 1,350) and location (walking distance from the US Embassy) were amazing. Everything else was very nice for the price I paid.

Room sucks. Staff ok
Wrote a nice review. Hotels.com deleted my narrative while I looked aty pictures. Summary: Staff was friendly and attentive, the room really sucked. I think I could walk Down the street and get a better room for half the 1100฿ I paid after taxes. Black growing on the walls in the bathroom. Small room, small bathroom, balcony one person can stand or sit on ac compressor and look at bigger balconies accross the alley. I could nitpick every detail of the room. Not 1 thing good enough for a room above 500฿.

Hotel is 12 to 18 min from Sukhumvite Rd.
on my first stay I was a reasonable room given for the price I paid. A few weeks ,later on my second stay I was anoid and felt the room was not habitable. In one corner of the room the wall lining was hanging loose, flopping down, the TV was not working, the Aircon had only one speed, cold and there was not one power-point to recharge the phone ...Room 505. My complaint was simply laughed off with a shrug of the shoulder (did you book on Internet )?? Anyhow they could not fix the TV and I was shifted to room 504 a tad better but I decided never again to stay at Jims Lodge.

Good location/pri but bad internet & needs refurb
The big plus of this hotel is its proximity to US Embassy (and other embassies) and is within walking distance of some very good restaurants and walking distance of BTS Skytrain. However, the hotel desperately needs updating (carpets are bedraggled, furniture old, etc.), There is an odd configuration of floors with elevator stops - the elevator stops on a landing between floors, including from the lobby area, so getting heavy baggage to/from rooms becomes a hassle (although the hotel staff is helpful in this regard). The biggest drawback for me was the awful wifi internet connection in the rooms. The only reliable wifi connection is in the hotel lobby (if you would like to spend your time hanging out there). The hotel staff was quite clear that the only good place for wifi is in the lobby, they didn't pretend otherwise.

Probably the best place to stay if you are visiting the US embassy in Thailand. Its cheap, has free wifi, and is about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the embassy. Not the fanciest place but at least you get your moneys worth. Not a bad place overall; Like I said, if you need a place to stay while waiting to visit the US embassy, you really can't get better.

The location is about 5 mins walk to All Seasons Place which has cafes, restaurants and Tops Supermarket. The room I was in was fully carpeted and looks a little dated. For those who are concerned about dust may wish to request for a non carpeted room. The toilet was clean and water pressure for the shower strong.

3* hotel near US embassy
not worth 1300 THB, but they can take the money because they are the only 3* hotel near the embassy. It's worth 800 THB. Some minor investments and the hotel could get a better evaluation in the future. Breakfast is a typical "Thai-ABF" but enough for the first few hours to survive.

Old and charming!!!
We stay here for 2 nights, and we really like the place. The front desk personnel are very sweet and welcoming. My friend recommended this place to us, since was our first time in Bangkok, it nice stay somewhere recommended. The breakfast is nice, which makes easy to start the day. Bangkok can be overwhelming, since is too much to see and we didn't have a lot of time. The hotel is little old and could use a little improvement, however the location is fantastic. It is close to public transportation, safe, and you can walk to many different attractions. At the end, we were pleased with the place, since we just use it to sleep, we didn't need a 5 star hotel, just a clean, safe, and comfortable place to rest, specially, after a long day walking around.

Not recommended.- Better value elsewhere.
We only stayed here for a about 8 hours due to a late night flight out of Bangkok. We chose the cheapest room as we were not sleeping there. Room was about 16 square metres at most and needs lots doing to it. I would recommend looking elsewhere if staying overnight as there are better value hotels than this one.

Convenient to US Embassy
If you need to go to the US Embassy and can't afford $150 or more per night to stay within Embassy vicinity, then this is the place to stay. Inexpensive, and a ten minute walk to the front of the Embassy.The staff is pleasant, the room is clean enough, and there are two 7-Eleven's extremely close by. Public transport is less than ten minutes away. Convenient and functional. We are going back a second time, again for Embassy purposes.
Greeting from Jim's Lodge Hotel, Just a few words to say thank you for your comments and your stay at our hotel. Hopefully you would come back again. Best regards Mr. Prakit- General Manager 081-9092000

Close to. More expensive hotels and US Embassy
Comfortable and clean hotel close to US Embassy. Rather worn and in need of upgrading. Good budget choice. Short walking distance to US Embassy. Suggest going to Siam Paragon shopping mall for excellent budget meals at the food court. Easy access can be made via the near by Sky Train.

Good location only
Over all this hotel is really not good except if your going to the U.S. embassy for a visa...!!! Hotel room was smelly and not clean. Air con was noisy & the room was too small. Not too good except for the location. Room staff at first was rude & then got a bit better with us. Good for pop in and pop out to the Embassy "only"

Nice, Clean and Reasonably Priced.
Nice, clean hotel in Sukhumvit area, 10 minute walk from Sky Train. We really liked it and only things for five stars would be that the rooms are a little old fashioned, and could do with some decorating here and there. That said would recommend and stay again for the price.

Good in terms of room condition and facilities Bit off from the main busy road, so it's quiet and still duable from the BTS (P.S. There is no convinient store within 5 min walk distance, so make sure you buy some drinks like water before arriving in the hotel or be ready to buy items at a big high price at the hotel)

Good, quite location - rooms tired and out of date
This basic and cheap hotel is especially ideal for the budget conscious traveller, who needs good access to Bangkok. The hotel is located a 10 min walk from Phloen Chit BTS station and under 10 mins walk to 7-Elevan, massage parlours and some restaurants. The hotel is located on a quite street so we didn't have any noise disruptions. On the other hand, the rooms are pretty tired and could do with being updated, it was like stepping back to the early 90's when I entered my room. All in all, this place is best for it's location as the rooms are a little under average, but could be improved by the hotel easily by a lick of paint, new furniture, TV, etc. We can't complain too much for what we paid, though we will choose somewhere more luxurious on our next visit to Bangkok.

Thanks Jim.
The hotel staff was very nice and greeted everyone. The decor was a bit dated but clean and everything worked (A/C, Water pressure, etc...) The location was excellent for the price. We walked to the BTS Ploenchit but there were scooter taxis if you prefer to ride. These scooter taxis are very opportunistic. You do not have to tip them, especially, since it should be a 10 baht ride at most. There are plenty of restaurants and a couple of 24/7 7-11s. Just north is an alley with inexpensive street food. If we have to go to the US Embassy or USCIS, then I would stay here again.
