In the centre, good location, accessible by public transport. Decent sized rooms, however the inside could do with a refurbishment such as the furniture and paint. The actual structure and flooring are still very good.
Great location to get most places. Room was great for the price.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff is great very polite and helpful but the room is not as nice, the wall paper were about to fall off next to the window, the air circulation is not great, there is no outside air circulation in the room, I have to open the window to get some air circulation. The air filter has not been cleaned, it's a metal air filter( dusty). There is a damp moisture smell in the room, it was not pleasant smell in the room. The main elevator is not working, I have to use service elevator. The food is good even though it's a same for me every morning.
Amazing hotel. Great staff, service, pool & food. Also perfect location. This is my new hotel of choice in Bangkok. Highly recommend it...I love my room, especially the sunken tub. Very relaxing.

Affordable hotel and great location within walking distance from great tourists spots. The hotel is a bit outdated and it smelled a bit like cigarettes.

Okay for the money.
Reception staff need training on how to welcome guests, no smile or welcome to our hotel!
Room was okay, I only used it as a base.
Excellent location for Kho san Road and other places of interest.
Enjoyed the pool area in an afternoon.

We were a bit nervous about staying here after reading some of the reviews, however we had a pleasant stay. The room was pretty clean and comfortable, housekeeping came every day and the pool was a good addition. It is dated and not luxury but for the price we paid we were happy to stay there and the location is excellent (5 mins walk from khaosan area and easy walk to the Grand Palace).
The hotel itself is great. It's close to Khao San rd. But it's about a 20 min walk to The Grand Palace and the other surrounding tourist locations. So if you don't mind walking or taking a tuk tuk every time, I'd recommend this location. There are unhoused people around the area but they never bothered me.
Great location for visiting the Grand Palace and many beautiful Wats. WiFi had poor reception.

Staff extremely nice and helpful. Nice area with a public transport around.
Room would benefit with refreshing.
Bed mattress need to be replaced as they were not comfortable at all.
Swimming pool open only until 6pm, which makes it useless for us.
Over all very pleased stay (thanks to hotel staff).
The staff at the front desk were very ungrateful and were very snotty when we asked them anything. The other staff were excellent, but first impressions were not. Total hotel was in terrible shape, old and dirty.

Eye opener
The room upgrade was appreciated. The room and bathroom are actually a good standard. Parking and attendant good and friendly. Giving the approximate to the major attractions, time of the year and low price, there must be a drawback. Indeed, the state of the hotel, the surroundings and especially the front desk staff are the issue. Most unfriendly and careless staff.
Best hotel in Bangkok. Easily a 10/10. Great service, food, pool, and rooms. My room even had a relaxing tub which I really like. For only around 900 baht per night, you can't beat it. We were steps away from The Queen's birthday celebration party, so it was very nice to be close for once to all the action in Bangkok. Also, Khao San Road is 5 minutes walk, so there's your nightlife option. I felt very at ease and relaxed at this hotel, so I had to book for a second night to enjoy it further. So this is the second part of my booking, as I rebooked another night. Also, to help me do so, the Front Desk staff was very helpful.
Do NOT stay here (Feb 2025), read all the recent reviews there are known issues and problems. Find a different place to stay.
Do you want to wake up with a bedbug crawling on your bed? I didn't think so.
There are also cockroaches, baby ones.
I had to be changed room twice, for a three night stay. So disgusted I had to leave after the second night and get another hotel, so double the cost for that night.
I only stayed here because of friends staying here and planned a tour, so it seemed convenient.
-Local people recommend it, probably because of the hotel's former glory, it has marble floors after all...
Advertises as 4 star hotel, should be 0 star.
CONS:
-Very busy, loud street, with lots of vagrant people right outside, it smells of urine and if you want ot go anywhere walking, you will have to zig zag around them. There are free meals for them close to the side of the property.
-No restaurants or attractions within walking distance without walking through dark, smelly sidewalks.
-Hotel was build in the 1940s, seems very little work since then.
-Check in: short tempered receptionist saying loudly "sign here", without giving you time to read.
-Massive cell phone tower next to hotel (south).
-Lots of moskitoes inside the hotel, and in the rooms.
-Only one card key per room, two people? you will have to synchronize your timings.
-Rooms dated. Minor renovations.
-Mold, cockroaches, bedbugs, moskitoes.
-Bathroom disgususting
-Carpets filthy.
GOOD:
Hot water, water pressure.
Staff did not answer the phone when called several times.
Bottom sheet was too small, no coffee cups with the hot pot, no soap for sink, no wash cloths or hand towels, bugs that appeared to be cockroaches in the room and dining area. Room had water damaged walls and ceiling, shower curtain did fit tub.
