Although the web site is still confirming reservations, I arrived to find the place shut down. I've been staying at this hotel annually since 1997. Rumour has it that the Japanese built it for their officers during their occupation, and the Americans put the pool in. Please confirm or deny the story. Was told that the place will be torn... More

Went there on January 5th and found the hotel closed. Been staying there many times and was my favourite. Could not find out if they intend to open again. My guess is that they will break it down and build apartments. We shall see.

The Golden Palace Hotel is a good value, clean hotel with large but basic rooms. The breakfast provided was very good, with a choice from a range of Thai and Western dishes. The hotel also gave a discount for the spa next door, where you could get a great Thai massage.The best thing about the hotel was the location: only... More

It is very hard to choose a accommodation in such a big city but this was very good choice. Make sure you get a room in the second floor! The rooms are big, the bathrooms are clean, you get 2 waters free every day, you get a nice american breakfast in a local restarant that is very handy as we... More

I booked this place based on the nice reviews (and the location + swimming pool). When I arrived I was shown 'standard' room and 'deluxe' room to chose from. I will tell you that the standard room has NO windows and has mirrors on the three walls - what kind of love shack is that? I was shocked... By comparison,... More

For me and my girlfriend (both 26 years old), this was our first hotel in Thailand, and clearly one of the best value-for-money picks throughout our whole trip. We can definitely recommend it (we booked it again for the nights before leaving Thailand at the end of our trip, adding up to a total of 5 nights spent in 2... More

This place has it own charm (in a strange way). First visit in 1997 and we still come back, before transit. Staff is very friendly and the service is high. Don't expect a nice garden. Its a parking lot! But there's a poolarea (with a springboard), chairs and tables. Everything you need, after a tough day in Bangkok! Two minutes... More

The clientele wasn't my cup of tea. The typical guest profile would be a single old grumpy guy with tattoos who chain smokes and doesn't care where - restaurant, pool, you name it. Lots of "old hands" seem to stay here. This place is ancient by Bangkok standards, having been built in the early 1960s. On the downside, the rooms... More
