I stayed here with my girlfriend on the first night of our 4 week trip in Thailand. It was clean, it had air conditioning and it definitely did the job we needed it for... A place to sleep. It had no frills, pool, breakfast or extras but as far as a place to rest your head after a long flight... More

We have stayed here twice now but only because of its location and cost. The hotel is clean and the staff are polite but it has something missing! Last time we booked we had a hotel voucher that clearly stated that breakfast WAS included, however NO amount of reasonbale talking was going to change the Swana's mind all they kept... More

We had no expectations, but the Swana had good reviews, so weren't too worried. We wanted to be near Koh San Road for our first time in Bangkok. It was about 15 to 20 minutes walk away, which was fine. The area didn't seem that nice, but its hard to know.. and there wasn't much around, but seemed very safe... More

We stayed here on our way to and on our way back from Koh Lanta. It was just want we wanted, a nice hotel at a reasonable price, friendly staff and to be able to sleep at night! Go out the back entrance and explore the back streets and find your way to the local markets. Far more interesting than... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, at an excellent rate of 850 baht/night. However, the cheap rate did not make up for the fact that the hotel is in a mad-traffic-soul-less-free-of-all-interesting-sights sort of place. If you are interested in Kaosan Road - a 15 minute walk will get you there. That's about the highlight, really ..... The rooms are very... More

Myself and my partner stayed here for two nights when we arrived in Bangkok for three weeks travelling. We arrived at around 8pm after a long 20+ hours travelling and were welcomed by the staff who were very friendly. As the taxi pulled up a member of staff came out to collect our bags and the reception staff were very... More

Stayed at Swana for 4 nights and loved it!! Staff are friendly, the rooms are clean and is close enough to Kao Shan (15 min walk or 37BHT by taxi), out of the loud and busy Kao San Rd. Be aware that there's no swimming pool, not sure why there's a pool picture! But seriously, with so many things to... More

"Yes, yes, yes... I visit Bangkok two-three times a year and try still to stay somewhere in the Old district. Swana is really perfect. Friendly staff, clean and fresh looking rooms, satisfactory breakfast and the location is good enough to walk by foot to Khao San whithin 5 minutes. If you can take the deluxe room-superior seemed for me little... More

Stayed in the Swana last september. When we arrived at the hotel we weren't too impressed with the location but the hotel made up for it. Got a good rate and the room was very large. Bathroom was very modern with a huge shower. Mini bar was excellent - very cheap (think about 40p for a can of juice) and... More
