One block away is the famous Khaosan Rd.Their is plenty of shopping,resturents and even a good dentist at the end of the street. Get a cab at the big hotel next door and be sure to ask if they use the meter,if not walk away or you will get ripped off. Its less expensive than a tuk tuk and with the meter you don't have to go through the hasel of trying to get a fair price.You are a five walk to the water taxi which is cheep and a good way to get a feel for Bangkok. Ask the people at the desk to write the name of the location for the taxi,they are great at helping you with directions.

I stayed here the other nigt, looking for a khao San rd experience. I expected it to be noisy- it was, but not too bad for a Tuesday night. The location is superb, even for an old 30-something like myself. The staff were not particularly friendly or helpful, but I've seen worse. The room was spic and span! I was pleasantly surprised! It was so clean and smelled bleachy, but the good clean bleachy, not the "I'm trying to cover up a bad smell" bleachy ;) Even the communal showers (there are a few shared rooms.. I'm cheap) were super clean andthe heat and pressure was awesome!!! I'm going to stay again next week when I get back to BKK.

We stayed here in May 2010 for a few nights. A nice large hotel with comfortable rooms and two nice roof top swimming pools.

Close to Th Khao San road so in good location.

Tip: Eat at Chart Restaurant - we had the best Thai food there apart from some good street food too.

If you tend to be the one making all the noise...this is a great place for you. In the middle of the action! Very clean rooms and bathrooms, simple, good ac, hot shower. Espresso and capachino downstairs were very good. The people were very helpfull! I was having a very hard time on the phone trying to get a refund for accomodation that I wasn´t able to stay in due to bad weather. The Indian looking man in charge of the place heard me struggling and asked if I needed help. After asking me exactly what I was trying to do, he took the phone and made the call for me, settling everything so that I could get my money back. Without him that would not have been possible! Very helpfull and caring person!
