JaimeeTravelled as a couple · Oct 15Great location right on the heart of Bangkok backpacker action. Comfortable rooms and really lovely pool up top. I stayed here 24 years ago and it hasn’t changed a bit. I loved being able to walk straight out of the hotel to a number of restaurants/bars/market stalls and transport. It felt safe at all times and all the action on the street at night could not be heard from the room which was great. All staff were very friendly and helpful even when I changed my booking a couple of times. Allowing super early check in and check out was a huge bonus for us too. I’d go back in a heart beat.
There is a cannabis dispensary underneath the hotel which means a very odd smell when entering and exiting the hotel - didn’t bother us too much but good to be aware of if you are against that sort of thing. Wouldn’t recommend this place for families with young children just due to the surroundings. The bathrooms are starting to look a bit tired but for the price you pay this place is fantastic. Also the lift was really really slow. We thought we were trapped the first time until we realised it was just super slow.
LorenzoTravelled as a couple · Oct 10Nice location. all the conformity just down the hotel
You can hear the Noisy from the street
Ali NazmiTravelled as a couple · Sep 16The location was excellent, right in the heart of Khao San Road and very convenient for exploring Bangkok. The room was comfortable and clean, the staff were friendly, and the rooftop pool was a great bonus.
There can be some noise from the street and nearby music at night because of the central location. However, this is expected when staying directly on Khao San Road and wasn’t a major issue for us.
DiánaTravelled as a couple · Sep 15The location was perfect and safe. Not too noisy considered that its located on the Khaosan road.
The swimming pool closed at 8 pm. Lift was very slow and only one.

L’emplacement trop bruyant mais heureusement qu’un avis m’a aidé . J’ai demandé à être à l’opposé de la route principale Le harcèlement à notre sortie de l’hôtel des vendeurs , et des chauffeurs tuk tuk
OliverTravelled solo · Oct 16Det var fint person as lo et var flinke
Synes deres billeder som Atle på nettet gør tingene meget større polen er lille, det er deres træningscenter også, og det er ærligt med træningscenter, jeg havde håbet på bedre maskiner og flere, desværre alt forgå og deres multimaskiner gik heletiden i stykker
KatrinTravelled as a couple · Oct 10Härligt rum, underbar pool, trevlig personal ♥️
