November 2022

The hotel room I stayed in was more like a studio. It had a kitchen, bathroom, bed, and area to eat/work. This was great for the cost, as anything in Bangkok with a kitchen was much more expensive. Having a washing machine and dryer for use was very handy for anyone travelling long term. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

Unless you are particularly interested in China Town, it is a little far from the city centre - about a 10/15min bike ride. The place is tired/old and could do with a decent paint job, and a general update - the TV was one of those old ones with the giant back part! The bed sheets/towels were often ripped, and some had old stains on them (they were always clean, just stained). The washing machine and dryer operate on 10baht coins - but there was no coin machine, so I had to go to the 7-eleven and try to get change every time. Installing a coin machine would make life a lot easier.

Good location near to MRT, 7Eleven and market streets. Coin laundry self service at the hotel. Microwave oven and fridge in the room. Good waterflow in the shower.

No room cleaning during my stay (3 nights). There was no extra toilet paper in the room - had to buy myself from 7Eleven. Staff spoke very little english.

Clean, comfortable and cute little room, friendly staff, lift (we were on the4th floor and had a lot of luggage) In the heart of Chinatown so not the land of smiles but tons of great food around, especially in the evening. Also, quiet location.

They made everything so easy, I have nothing negative to say.

The location is good, the staff very helpful, no communication problems at all, a big room with balcony.

Nothing, maybe the facilities are a bit old, but that's still good to use. Considering the price, this stay was a very good experience.
