Why People Love It

7.6⭐601 reviews
  • Huge rooms (starting at 30sqm) that feel like apartments
  • Free tuk-tuk shuttle to Asoke BTS and Terminal 21
  • Quiet location on Soi 15 despite being minutes from the action

Quick Take: It’s a spacious, slightly faded European-style residence where you trade modern crispness for square footage and a great location.

Reviewed by @Beliizabeth: I booked this spot for a secret reason I can't share, but oh my god, it felt like a princess hotel! The night views were stunning, and I literally lived off sashimi delivery. It’s on a quiet street but super easy to find a tuk-tuk to get around.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers love the massive room sizes and friendly staff but consistently note the property is showing its age.

Reality check

You might get a room that smells like 'chemical air freshener masking old carpet' if you don't request the main building.

  • You need a washing machine and kitchenette for a long stay
  • You prefer 75sqm of space over a tiny modern shoebox
  • You want to be near Terminal 21 but on a quieter street

Cleanliness & Maintenance

7
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is generally good, but they sometimes miss dust in corners or under heavy furniture.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated. Grout can be discolored in older units; water pressure is usually good.
  • Maintenance: Showing wear. Expect scuffs on walls, worn carpets, and occasional AC drips.
  • Linens & towels: Clean and white, though towels can be on the thinner/scratchier side compared to luxury hotels.
  • Odors & scents: The biggest issue. 'Musty' and 'damp' smells are frequently reported in the older building wings.

Room Genie

Best picks

Rooms to avoid

  • Rooms in the 'building behind' or older wings if you are sensitive to smells
  • Low-floor rooms facing the street if you are a light sleeper

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I would appreciate a room in the Main (Reception) Building on a high floor. Please ensure the room has been recently aired out and is free of musty odors.”

Insider Tips
