Its actually my 2nd time staying here...came for a visa run/Thai and stayed here with a friend,as it was off-season and it was cheap 400/baht=$12usd in 2008,and it seemed ok.
You can def. find better places and worse ones here,but the location is good,there is a bkk grill downstairs as well.Living in asia i think i have learned how to deal with people here,as to some reviews of the staff...they were helpful to me and i had no problems.
some things i noted: reg room was quoted at $25 usd and i got it down to $20 if i skipped
bkfst,i had free wi-fi,a/c,fridge,free H20,tea kettle,and daily maid service..so thats good..
now,some bad things..yes its an old hotel but i like the weird charm of it,the walls have a few dings in there,the curtains are busted,i saw from ants about but this is asia,the carpet is well worn,the beds are old,but i like them,comfy/soft compared to most asian beds..
Also the rooms in the back are by a school,otherwise nice and quiet,which is hard to find in asia at this price,and i had HBO and plenty of english channels to watch...
So im ok with it here for a night or two,but i do wonder how they stay afloat......?
