I was skeptic about staying in this hotel and when I got there I saw that I was right. The hotel is not in a very good situation, seems like a old and not very well maintained hotel. The first room that they gave us was in a very poor situation. It was very dirty, the bed linens had dirt on them, the sofa was dirty, there were hairs in the bathroom and the water was accumulating in the sink. Also the furniture was quite old, not mentioning the uncomfortable beds. However they were friendly enough to move us to a cleaner room, but I'd already had a bad impression of the hotel. If cheapness is your way to go, this is an ok hotel but I'd suggest avoiding this hotel. Also avoid the restaurant which is under-satisfactory.

Because I have business in the area I have stayed at this hotel several times, but unless you have to be in the Pinklao area I would definitely give this place a miss. Service is patchy (waiter with earphones in whilst on duty), the breakfast buffet is third rate, and the hotel generally is in need of refurbishment. The SD Hotel just down the road (nearer to the Central shopping centre) is much better.

This is one of the hotels who deliver what is promised. Great Place to stay.

I stayed at Royal City Hotel as it is only 10 minutes from Yanhee Hospital. It is an older, vintage but charming hotel. .If you just want a place to stay near the hospital this will meet your needs. I paid 1,526 Baht night. (50. US) peak season. I wanted a pool but as it turned out I didn’t have time to use it. There is a large pool complete with a big sun deck with sun bed chairs. The chairs are plastic with no covers so take a couple of room towels to lay on top. The sun shines on the pool all day.

The rooms are spacious and clean. Don’t expect a view out the window as this is a Thai residential area with a couple of office buildings. I wasn’t here for the view. There isn’t an internet café in the area, no bars, no 7/11 stores, no night market, and no Dept Store.

There is a small size safety box with a good key system near the front desk. English stations on the TV. The halls do have a stale smell and no A/C but the rooms are fresh with an A/C. If it’s an issue- Westerners don’t usually stay here. This is where many of the Korean Tours are bused in.

Do avoid the food as it’s bad. There is a street stall of chicken sate that sets up right outside the hotel at 8:15 AM. Other street stalls set up later in the day 1/2 block to the left beside the Institute of Culture.

There is also a small, clean fitness room which opens at 7 AM. There is a universal gym, 2 sets of weights, 2 bikes and 2 tread mills. *Fast and easy check out.
