First of all, the positives: location of the hotel is great because it is walking distance to Nana Plaza, the BTS station and also all the way down to Soi Cowboy if that’s your kind of thing. It’s set back from the main road enough so that its a very peaceful hotel and the beds and pillows were excellent and extremely comfortable. The rooftop pool is handy if you fancy a relaxing little dip but it is all about location location location.
Now the negatives: first of all the rooms are very dimly lit and it is very difficult, if you wear contact lenses, to put them in, under any of the lighting available. There is no brightly lit dressing table and the bathroom lights are the lowest wattage possible. I even enquired at Reception to see whether they had a spare lamp but they could not provide any assistance. Secondly, the hotel is rundown and a bit tatty particularly around the pool area where there were so many missing tiles, in and around the pool, that it was a bit of a health hazard. Additionally, you have the sum total of three sun loungers to pick from but the only other poolside guests that I had were those that have come up to the pool to smoke marijuana joints, due to the non-smoking policy within the hotel itself.
I continue to try and find the ideal budget suitable mid-range hotel in Bangkok that tick as many boxes as possible but I think I would struggle to stay here again purely because of the lack of light and plug sockets to use within the aging hotel rooms.
