I have stayed here a few times and always found the rooms incredibly comfortable especially the bed great sheets and pillows. I was really impressed by the lovely manager John who went out of his way to help me with my bags as it was the bell boys day off. The room size is great and the room is lovely... More

Great location right on Khao San and plenty of tuk tuk and taxi to get you to other places. Was very disappointed when we arrived to see that the pool was closed for maintenance- we had chosen the hotel for the pool and were given no prior warning. You got free use of a sister hotel pool but was not... More

First off, let it be known that you should not stay here if you have small children or are looking for just rest and relaxation - this is not the place for you. This hotel is in the heart of Khao San Road - literally you walk out and are immediately amidst the tourists, markets, bars, and restaurants. This is... More

Nice place, cool roof top pool when you're so hungover you can barely breathe. Rooms pretty cool, be noted this is in the heart of party central. Don't complain it's noisy, sort of like having a picnic next to a sewer and complaining it smells. If you want lash, this is the place for you

We stayed here in a standard room on the 4th floor in the middle so when we had the balcony doors shut we had virtually no street noise. Room was clean and staff were great. When we checked in we left an envelope with about 15000 baht in it on the front desk. Within about 5 minutes of being in... More

Spent too long in Bangkok (9 nights) but the hotel was comfy enough. Very central ... i was able to walk around to interesting places and local treasure spots not invaded by tourists. My only problem is the excessive smoke that will come through vents from bar on ground floor.
