Great rooms and staff. Loved it here. Off the beaten path by about a block or so, which we liked.

Recent stay

There was no kettle in the room, and I wa a bit confused with regards to where I could get a coffee or not. The chair in the room was very flimsy and bendy, making it difficult to sit on, otherwise all good.

nice simple hotel in great location close to BTS. Hotel is fairly noisy as very popular with Mainland Chinese tourists but overall good hotel in good location. Limited breakfast choice but plenty of places close by for breakfast.
Mark Anthony Joseph, 5-night trip

Near to BTS, 7-Eleven and Clean
David, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Friendly staff, rooms very small and poor soundproofing. Pool is very small!
Polly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were super friendly, helpful and respectful. It was the best hotel that I ever stayed in, in my whole life! The breakfast is excellent and the cleaning staff are very hard working. If this hotel had apartments, I would rent from them in a heartbeat! This was the best hotel experience I have ever had by far.
Cassidy, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property appears to be more than 20 years old
Poh Yim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

New-looking hotel in Ratchathewi, friendly staff and tuktuk available on-demand 9am-6pm to BTS except Sun and Mon, which is room for improvement. Three 7-11s on the way to BTS, totally convenient!
3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

very good service
NOEL, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms were very clean and in good condition, breakfast was nice and a good choice menu. Only thing poor was the pool, it was the size of an average jacuzzi, there is no bar so no relaxing by the pool with a coctail.
kenneth, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very nice, appreciated the little extras in the room with comfortable bed and pillows (lacked a clock in the room). The area is challenging to get to attractions and we paid a lot on taxis and tuk tuks. Staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean and modern.
Deborah, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The street noise was very bad, with a rooster crowing and dogs fighting all night long from across the street, with minimal sound-proofing. That, and the swimming pool is really a bathtub with pretensions. Other than that, clean enough and close to transportation. Staff was nice and friendly.
Christopher, 2-night trip
