Stayed here on two separate occasions during a month long stay in Thailand. Every Review I have read, seems to hit every good and bad point. It's a decent enough place, but very impersonal and dated. Everything about the hotel screams 'old' Even the rooms smell musty. Having been during off peak season, the room rate was fairly reasonable. The... More

A good central location from which to explore. Very spacious lobby area, good size bedrooms and a good breakfast, Maybe a little tired in terms of appearance. More

Good points: cheap, good location. Bad points: scruffy, really needs major cleaning and updating. The included buffet breakfast was reasonable. More

Always liked to stay at this hotel in Bangkok. It's a little worn down these days, but I still think it got lots of charm. The breakfast is really good and the pool is great for keeping cool and relax in when you have a jetleg or just need time to calm down. The location is superb. To bad nobody... More

Having booked a month long tour of Thailand with Explore I was forced to suffer staying at this hotel for 4 nights at different times during this period. The reviewer who writes 'can't fault this place' must surely have stayed somewhere else! Surly and unfriendly staff, the hotel is large, very impersonal and overpriced considering what is on offer elsewhere... More

This would've been a great hotel in its day, but not now. Faded grandeur is probably the best description. It is clean but everything is well worn, the windows and doors are pretty poor and I'm not sure they'd keep anybody out who wanted to get in. No safe in the room, no wi-fi. On the plus side, it's brilliantly... More

Have stayed at this hotel on 3 occasions and each time has been enjoyable. The food is always awesome, the rooms well air-conditioned, staff friendly and location is very good. The prices have varied over the years but have never gone up too substantially. I've always enjoyed my stays here. More

A very tired hotel in need of a re-vamp. However, in an excellent location for many Bangkok sites, so tolerable for a couple of nights. The room we had was in need of decoration and the furniture old. However, it was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. Breakfast was very average and the restaurant poor. Was supposed to spend...
