The hype
Travelers love the peaceful vibe and the shuttle service, but often underestimate how far it is from central Bangkok.
V20 Boutique Hotel
$40-150/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a quirky, quiet sanctuary with a private jacuzzi near Chatuchak Market and don't mind commuting for nightlife.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- The 'Abyss' restaurant features a massive reef aquarium with live coral and fish
- Free tuk-tuk shuttle to MRT/BTS stations and Chatuchak Market
- Private jacuzzis on balconies in many room categories
Kurzfassung: A bizarrely charming mix of aquarium theme park and residential hideout that's great for sleeping but isolated from the action.
Bewertet von @littlewanderingwren: I booked this because we had an early train to Hua Hin and didn't want the stress of Bangkok traffic. The area felt a bit different from the tourist centers, but the room was spotless and the location was absolute strategic gold for the railway station.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The 'infinity pool' water is often reported as freezing cold, and the jacuzzi jets sometimes spit out dust if they haven't been used recently.
- You are planning a heavy shopping weekend at Chatuchak Market
- You need a quiet place to sleep away from the Sukhumvit noise
- You enjoy eccentric, Instagrammable decor like underwater tunnels
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some long-stay guests noted they had to request it specifically.
- Bathroom hygiene: Good, but watch out for the jacuzzi jets—run them for a minute before getting in to clear any settled dust.
- Maintenance: Modern and well-kept, though the 'aquarium' elements require constant upkeep which they seem to manage well.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and standard 4-star quality. No major complaints of stains or wear.
- Odors & scents: Occasional 'musty' smell reported in ground floor rooms, likely due to humidity and garden proximity.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the hotel pet-friendly?
No. The hotel has its own resident pets (rabbits, a tortoise), but guests cannot bring their own animals.
Is breakfast included?
It depends on your booking rate. Reviews are mixed—some find it decent, others suggest saving the $10-14 and eating elsewhere (though 'elsewhere' requires a shuttle ride).
How far is Chatuchak Market?
It's about 2km away. You can't easily walk it in the heat, but the hotel's free shuttle drops you there on weekends.
Is the pool heated?
No, and multiple guests report it being quite cold, especially in the 'winter' months (Dec-Jan).
Can I walk to a 7-Eleven?
Not easily. The nearest convenience stores are a bit of a trek down the alley. Stock up before you return to the hotel for the night.
Does the room have a hairdryer?
Yes, rooms are well-equipped with hairdryers, robes, and slippers.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
The 'Abyss' restaurant's pizza is surprisingly good—wood-fired and often better than the room service Thai food.
- ✨
Ask the shuttle driver for their direct WhatsApp/Line number; sometimes they will pick you up outside of official hours if you ask nicely.
- ✨
The 'resident' giant tortoise usually hangs out in the garden near the pool—great for kids.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'Aquarium' theme isn't just a gimmick; the tanks are professionally maintained with live coral.
💡The walk from the main road to the hotel is dark and quiet at night; solo travelers should stick to Grab or the shuttle.
💡Some 'Jacuzzi' tubs are actually on the balcony, meaning your neighbors might hear your bubbles.
💡The massage chairs in the common area are free to use (in some bookings) and a godsend after a flight.
💡There is a distinct 'residential' feel—you are literally staying in a converted upscale housing compound.
