“Very adequate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2010

I have stayed here in three consecutive years. Every room in this hotel has a little minor problem, they are slightly worn down, but if you do not mind the looks, it is a perfect hotel. Bed is good, bathroom has what it takes, open 24 hours, with your own keycard. The hotel kind of doubles as a brothel, by the way, but who cares.
This year I stayed here for the last time. I was tricked out of 500 baht in the hotel shop. Having given 1000 baht, for some stuff costing 180, an older woman at the counter passed the bill to the regular seller, who happened to be counting the register. She gave me back 320, claiming I had given her a 500 B note. Adding insult to the trick, she pointed to a 500 B note which was in the register, knowing very well she had passed my note to the other attendant. Well, she had me there. You do not feel like staying there in those circumstances, so I regretted to have to leave the place.
Completely adequate hotel, if you do not spend all day indoors, but need a comfortable place to sleep. Just be careful in the shop, show them big notes very clearly, so that they are recorded on the camera, and let them know you are aware of what you are giving them.

Super economy hotel. It is one of the best in its class. Convenient to public mass transit, taxi stand in front, ATM machine and convenience store on premises. Nice pool. Good balcony veiw.

“Just Fine, you get wat you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

I stayed in this hotel twice, first with my sister and the other time with my extended family. The hotel is quite old and shabby. There is actually bed bugs on my cousin's room. The breakfast selections were only either porridge or American Breakfast everyday. The staffs was friendly but could not really speak fluent English. I got problem communicating with them. However, the rate is very cheap and got airport transfers as well.

“Indifferent staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2009

As already stated in previous reviews, staff is not helpful. Although, I would define them as indifferent more than rude. I don't find them to be more so than other hotels in Bangkok. The service in the restaurant is terrible but the food is fine. It can be infurating at times particularly when coupled with their limited English. That said, I still stay here because I like the location i.e. not Koh San Rd.
Also, the TV stations are very limited.

“it has its pluses, it has it negatives”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2009

PLUS - I like this hotel for the value and its convenient loction. MRT station walking distance. Nice little 24 hour market. Maid and laundry personel friendly. Clean but old rooms.

NEGATIVE - I'll never get over the 'not give a hoot' staff. They seem so jaded every year I have stayed there.This includes both the front desk and the below par eatery. This is really a put off.

If I go here I just dont go with high expectations.
