I got there and was greeted by members of staff, neither of whom smiled. I had a reservation but they wouldn't look to see if I has one as I had no printed confirmation. So I went to an Internet cafe and paid to print it off. I got there, paid, plus 500B key deposit and checked into the smallest... More

So dirty we slept on top of the bed with t shirts covering the pillows. I couldn't stand on the floor with bare feet and taking a shower took a lot of bravery. The receptionist was a bit rude but the bar staff were nice. On the whole not worth the 300 baht per night, the location is good but... More

Smile Inn has a great location right on Soi Rambuttri -- the main walking drag in the tourist ghetto of Khao San Road. If you want to get drunk and watch the human parade and bargain shop for random souvenirs, Rambuttri is the place to be. And if you want to do it all on the cheap, then consider the... More

The Standard Double Private Bathroom Air room was very small and dirty, the staff is unfriendly. I had to ask for towels and was glad that I got two. My Thai girlfriend wanted to stay with me a second night and suddenly the manager ask us to pay 200 extra Baht for her. I know that rule from other guesthouses,... More

Shared bathroom's - nice surprise - clean and OK. Front desk staff hmm... I've heard that the worst front desk staff in BKK is in Baan Sabai neighbor hotel, so in... More

The hotel is located near Grand Palace, Wat Po, Wat Arun and Khaosan Road. If you are traveling solo this is the best hotel to meet fellow backpackers. Good price.Nice location. More

Trust what everyone else is saying about this hotel and stay somewhere else. Rooms are ok for the hotel price and class, and the location is pretty good being right in the action. But everything else about this hotel - particularly the staff - is terrible. Staff refused to clean my room because you must make the request before 1pm... More

It's easy to do well with your money in Thailand - but this is certainly not the case at Sawasdee. Our room was windowless, stained, and had leaky air conditioning. The bathroom was equally revolting and had no hot water. The TV did not work and we were afraid to leave anything in the room. When we complained about some... More
