Perché piace così tanto

7.5⭐523 recensioni
  • Rooms are enormous (38+ sqm) compared to modern shoebox hotels
  • Walking distance to the legendary Banthat Thong street food scene
  • Large swimming pool that actually gets sun

In sintesi: A fading giant that feels like a 90s convention center, but delivers unbeatable value if you just need a clean place to crash.

Recensito da @angela_and_alan: I couldn't believe the lobby when I walked in—felt like a palace but cost less than a hostel. The rooms are a bit retro, but for £32 a night with that massive pool? Absolute steal for Bangkok.

Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui

The hype

Travelers love the huge rooms and the pool, but everyone agrees the place is decades past its prime.

Reality check

You will likely encounter worn carpets, a musty 'old hotel' smell in hallways, and furniture that has seen better days.

  • You are a family of 4 who needs space without booking two rooms
  • You plan to eat your way through Banthat Thong Road every night
  • You prefer a firm, classic Thai mattress over soft memory foam

Pulizia e manutenzione

7.8
  • Housekeeping: Daily and generally reliable, but they sometimes miss dust on high shelves or under heavy curtains.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Clean but aged. Grout is often discolored due to age, not filth. Water pressure is a common complaint.
  • Maintenance: Functional but tired. Expect scuffs on furniture, peeling wallpaper corners, and older AC units.
  • Linens & towels: Clean and white, but towels can feel thin and scratchy from years of washing.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby is perfumed; hallways can smell slightly musty or humid.

FAQ e consigli nascosti

Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.

Is the pool free?

Yes, the large outdoor pool is free for guests and is a highlight.

Does the hotel have a gym?

Yes, but it is often NOT free. Expect a daily fee (~300 THB) unless your booking explicitly includes 'fitness access'.

Is breakfast worth it?

It's a massive buffet with Asian and Western options. Quantity over quality, but good for fueling up before a tour.

Is it near the BTS Skytrain?

It's a 10-15 minute walk to National Stadium BTS or Hua Lamphong MRT. Not 'doorstep' convenient.

Are the rooms renovated?

Mostly no. They are clean but feature 90s-style wood paneling, carpets, and older bathrooms.

Is there free Wi-Fi?

Yes, free Wi-Fi is available in public areas and rooms, though speeds can be inconsistent in corner rooms.

Suggerimenti degli Insider

  • ✨

    Walk 5 minutes to Banthat Thong Road for some of Bangkok's best street food—skip the hotel dinner.

  • ✨

    The hotel has a surprisingly good traditional Thai massage spa on-site (Boran Massage) that is legit.

  • ✨

    Use the side exit to get to the 7-Eleven faster without walking through the massive lobby.

5 cose da sapere prima di partire

  • 💡The lobby smell is a distinct mix of lemon polish and old air conditioning.

  • 💡The elevators are fast but the buttons are often worn out.

  • 💡You might see a robot cleaner roaming the lobby—a weird modern touch in a dated hotel.

  • 💡The 'City View' is often just a view of the highway or the other tower.

  • 💡The bathtubs are high-walled; can be tricky for elderly guests to step into.
